Most profeesors are weak kneed liberals who are still mad that they were shoved in lockers random thoughts Send a noteboard - 10/04/2011 03:45:36 AM
Sorry if you got shoved in lockers and have a inferiority complex when it comes to people with athletic abilities. Sports have been and always will be part of college so I think you may need to be the one dealing with it. But I understand your problem, accepting that they are not just big dumb brutes is more then your fragile ego could stand. It is sad though when our supposed intellectuals can back up an argument with more than opinion.

If they're in college, fuck no. But should they be in college in the first place? Legolas - 06/04/2011 07:57:03 PM 711 Views
I believe it's because sports like basketball and football want to see your college career LadyLorraine - 06/04/2011 08:47:24 PM 725 Views

Playing ignorant doesn't really suit you. Ghavrel - 11/04/2011 11:48:15 PM 563 Views
that may be, but the fact of the matter is that it isn't. *NM* LadyLorraine - 10/04/2011 12:19:14 AM 265 Views

I'm already pissed they get scholarships for being able to play football. They can join the NFL beetnemesis - 07/04/2011 12:50:15 AM 669 Views
Sports bring in such a huge amount of money to schools though. Darth_Katie - 07/04/2011 04:32:37 AM 552 Views
It does help schools raise money, AND it does help the players LadyLorraine - 07/04/2011 07:38:31 PM 618 Views
That's why there are need and merit-based scholarships beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:22:09 PM 566 Views
I get the rationale, it just annoys me. *NM* beetnemesis - 09/04/2011 03:20:05 PM 239 Views
No. Sports brings in huge amounts of money to popular schools. *NM* Ghavrel - 09/04/2011 03:27:33 PM 227 Views
So no one should profit if everyone can't? Darth_Katie - 10/04/2011 06:25:44 PM 546 Views
Uh, no they can't just join the NFL. They have to have 2.5 years out of high school. *NM* everynametaken - 07/04/2011 04:49:07 AM 275 Views

schools are full of fluff classes and it isn't just because of sports random thoughts - 09/04/2011 05:21:57 PM 491 Views

I said nothing about intelligence at any point LadyLorraine - 13/04/2011 03:58:18 AM 527 Views
