School is for teaching kids stuff that will help them develop intellectually IMO.
Not being good at, being able to play, or giving any fucks about basketball will never in any way shape or form negatively impact my life unless you put it into a class, force me to take it, and then grade it.
So again, fuck PE. Fuck PE teachers.
Triple fuck people who present PE as having anything to do with obesity rates.
I think social development is just as important as intellectual development, in K-5 especially but even through high school.

no harm in making kids try different sports in school
they might end up liking some of them
I have already testified to the direct physical harm that was done to me by this misguided attempt to get people to like sports through force.
How about, if people want to fucking play sports let them.
And force no one.
Because sports are a hobby and not a thing that is important or relevant to the 99.9999999999999999% of people who will never ever be professional athletes.
I think the problem with a lot of PE is that team sports just don't work very well with a crowd of people of wildly disparate abilities in the absence of a common interest in playing.
I sometimes think that the reason a lot of people find it such an isolating experience is that the teacher tends to be someone who is/was good at team sports, finds them enjoyable as a consequence, and doesn't necessarily understand that this is not a perspective shared by all of their students.

I generally detested sports, mostly because I was ill throughout secondary school and got to sit there doing nothing for a couple of hours a week.
However, before I got sick I really liked netball (before some girl scratched my eye leading to a visit to A&E and a pirate patch for a couple of weeks...which put me off a bit), and one of the posh schools I went to let me swim for sports everyday rather than play rounders or whatever after I got hit in the face with a cricket ball, which we shouldn't have been using for rounders anyway, and looked like I'd been beaten up while at said incredibly posh school (though I used to not swim one day a week 'cos I liked playing cricket).

Gym classes were an utter waste of time in my experience. The kids who sucked at sports continued to suck at sports throughout the entire semester, and the best they could hope for is to get an A for "effort."
What they should've been focusing on is setting attainable goals for the weaker students and helping them reach those benchmarks.

My middle school PE teachers specifically had drill sergeant attitudes where they would scream and yell and belittle you if you performed badly.
They would also punish the entire group for one person's failure. Which was lovely, being me, the chubby slightly gimpy kid 1-2 years younger than everybody else in my grade.
Eventually my 8th grade PE teacher figured out that what he was doing was making everybody hate me, and he pulled me out of certain exercises so I wouldn't hold the class back. Which was nice, but after a year and a half the damage had already been done.

The sport I played in Highschool was a bit like assassins creed in that I tried to hide myself in the tiny group of other white kids as to avoid getting beat up.

Strangely enough, I've always been in better shape since I stopped having to take PE in school. Like, all through my 20's I was in pretty good shape, with certain peak periods where I was in really good shape.
But not when I had PE classes forcing me to play sports which directly caused me to associate exercise with being bullied.
My middle school had a horrible bullying problem. And this is all pre-columbine of course. Anyone getting bullied was targeted by teachers and administrators for executive bullying on top of the student bullying, because deep down teachers like popular students and despise unpopular students, they just aren't allowed to take unpopular students out back and beat them.
But PE class was always the main event for bullying. And surprise sur-fucking-prise, people who liked PE were the bullies.
Like, jocks versus nerds used to be a thing, not just some hipster jokey joke shit.
