Sport - a valid mission field?

Dan gives a great summary of a seminar on ‘Using Sport to Reach Young People’
Overall the seminar looks great, although I do wonder about one of the quotes that Dan recorded:
‘Sport offers the body of Christ the greatest opportunity to reach the largest amount of people in the shortest space of time’.
For me that made me muse a moment, and whilst I can’t think of a counter argument - for example a better opportunity [although in my country mission in high school would beat sport hands down - where else do you get presented with hundreds of young people and them be required to listen!].
And, of course, as youth workers we also need to remember that there are many non-sporty young people, so we must always do sports ministry as one of many ministries [but you knew that didn't you?]
