Pathetic smack need not apply. There is a large majority on all collegiate teams that are quietly great men with brains and aspirations that will be an positive addition to our society.
The ESPN boards with the trash talk are this way.
This was true decades ago.
Unfortunately today, both college and pro teams are larded with what appears to be the dregs of society. When reading the sports pages one would think they were reading a police blotter.
These "players" today are hardly role models for young men. They are tattooed, pierced and possessing a low IQ.
