Nobody cares about you or your ability to hit/throw/kick a ball.

Right on.

Heheh, but those @#%$ collages do. They want some extra-@#%$-cirricular activities, at least one in sports...damn them.

I resent the obsenities you bestow on student athletes. Not only are most of us not stupid, but most of us are the smartest people our age. Speaking for myself I'm a tennis player, a good one too, and I take honors classes in school. And I still manage to be in the top 10% of my class.

Yeah? Well I was a varsity swimmer for 3 years on a state championship team (also all 3 years)... and I'm a royal blue.

So take that in the eye.

Now, if that were true, you would have known Gash didn't write that rant.

Come on, we all know that Tennis isn't a real sport. The "jocks" are the Football, Rugy, and Basketball players. Not the tennis players.

And I still manage to be in the top 10% of my class.

They say tennis is a cultured sport... though I don't imagine it would be tought to be smarter than the real jocks, either.

Thyne, Maddox, the author of that site, has a hard time articulating without obscenities. Some of his stuff is pretty funny though.

The truth is, sports shouldn't be sponsored by the school. That's a waste of tax money on developing something that not even 10% of those who participate will use during the rest of their life. Get some decent computers, hire someone to arrest the vandals who punch pencils through laptop monitors, get more teachers, etc...

If you want sports, join a sports club, or something.

His assholeness puts Gash to shame... but then, he's not as smart as that @#%$.

So I guess it evens out.

Thanks, Kas. You always seem to know exactly what I was really trying to say.

Look, kid, quit using long words. No one thinks you're any smarter because you act like you're writing your post with a thesaurus. It's called "contemporary English". Try it out.

Not only are most of us not stupid, but most of us are the smartest people our age.

...

This requires no rebuttal -- and, in fact, that you'd say something that is so blatantly opposite to the truth proves my entire case. Thank you.

Oh, wow! Honors classes in a public high school in the United States of a America I take back everything bad I've said about jocks -- clearly, you are in a league of your own, as a member of the elite sect permitted the prestigious honor of taking high school honors courses.

Look, kids, high school sports serve no purpose other than to let morons who would otherwise be in a trailer somewhere with something up their nose or in their arm roar and flex their muscles. It's a distraction from the @#%$ that matters. That universities favor athletically gifted students (when, really, that athletic ability will do 90% of them absolutely no good in real life) is a shameful thing that excludes students who can't kick a football but do have more than four functional brain cells.

If your life revolves around high school sports, it's probably pretty meaningless anyway.
