meh, I don't think having sports to the level of requiring professional coaches is a good way to spend money in a public school system.
Elective, community supported sports at a competitive level, sure thing, otherwise at public school put the kids on a track, stock up a weight room and give them some dodgeballs and spend the rest of the money on things that are useful to learn in life like business, computers, shop and home economics.
In terms of "sports being too evil and masculine" a fully decked out auto shop where kids can learn how to do bodywork and engine rebuilds would be my preference vs. spending that money on a football coach and program. Fuck, if the school wants to be competitive, have the kids race the cards they build in shop.
