Agreed.
We’re surrounded by well-intended, but dangerous idiots.
Troll and moron.
Jocks are and always will be aggressive b*stards...
I’m starting to believe they’re not really well intentioned at all. Most definitely dangerous.
We should ban them! Along with guns. And anything else that upsets me. RME
LOL
That is an unjustified insult.
What if that girl were a relative of yours?
Yeah, I saw that too. Wow.
The way we’re going, we’re about to ban personal and national self-defense, leaving ourselves wide open for Jihad...

Do tell? Hum. Interesting observation. My grandson is among the best in track in my state at long jump and hurdles. He just graduated high school as an Honors student and several school records in athletics. Oh and he has worked part time while doing this. He wasn't given any scholarships that would matter on academics because many do not offer track athletic scholarships. However a church affiliated university {a Conservative Christian Church} awarded him a full scholarship for four years. His career goal? To become a Surgeon.
One of his friends a quarterback at a rival school also top notch chose another church based college. He too earned an athletic scholarship and had chances for being in the Ivy League. Two smart and wise young men.
Yes some sports programs in colleges and universities have issues. So clean them up. It makes far more sense to have young men expending energy on a sport than time otherwise would be wasted elsewhere. Have a strict discipline policy that is the key. That is part of sports.
Now as for the more pressing realities. Most universities today academically are Marxist Stink Holes needing a Tenure fumigation and realistic curriculum of true career based courses. Rid the campuses of the Marxist teaching "Hey anything goes man" Marcuse disciples and watch the athletic department issues straighten out as well. Athletics when managed right can be beneficial for both students and the school. Yes it would also require a cleaning out of the NCAA management as well. Cut the number of people running it, develop basic rules all can understand without having to hire lawyers and play the game.
“I sincerely believe that these athletic programs need to be abolished and basically be removed.”
But then they would have to fire like 200 hundred remedial level teachers.
He tried so hard not only to violate her, but also himself.

You drag these 4 to a gallows in night shirts and no undies and hang them and film it. Then you show it to all college students at the beginning of each term.
When they see rapists dangling at the end of a rope struggling to live and shitting and pissing themselves as the life slowly drains from there eyes they will see such behavior isn't cool.
Yeah its harsh but damn it this shit needs to stop.
The story, the event, the players, the various trials for all of these rapists have been going on here in Nashville forever it seems. I recall the various news channels here showing the trial highlights last year or so, and; frankly, I cannot imagine any man having any relations, especially sex/rape with a woman so out of it. These are the most disgusting low life bas——I have ever heard of. Sadly, it is not just football players as it was only a few years ago about 90 miles west of here in Paris,TN that a beautiful college student (nursing) was missing for a year plus. Finally, they found out where the body was and what happened. Basically a number of local redneck types raped, killed, mutilated, and buried Holly Bobo. This kind of crap seems to happen much more these days then when I grew up. I do not recall any of this going on in the early-mid 60’s?
You’re taking a beating on this thread, but you are right, perhaps your reasoning needs adjustment.
I think college athletics is fine and can be an ebhancement to the learning experience. However requiring the rest of the student body to subsidize it through athletic fees is the reason I would abolish these sports. If it pays for itself I’m ok with anything they want to do, athletic or non athletic. If students cannot gain academic acceptance to an institution, we are only pretending to give them an education. Your point is spot on in this regard.
College is expensive enough (I just finished with the last of three so I know) without paying for superfluous BS such as athletic programs that do not pay the freight. These fees are significant. I didn’t want to pay for them and told them. They don’t care.
Life for three and death for this guy.
Sociopaths, male and female, always have and, unfortunately, always will be part of society. And it's not something one "becomes".
Jihad is already here. ‘Glad I’m a Senior...
