Do you realize that they can (and likely will) get EXPELLED for complaining. That’s the atmosphere they have to live in.

1. They aren't going to UPenn on athletic scholarships, so quitting the team is always a minimally defiant option that doesn't cost a damn thing.

2. If they aren't willing to stand up now in an environment where they are likely paying tens of thousands of dollars a year to be there, then they are never going to stand up to any kind of humiliation or abuse in the future.

This is how "snowflakes" are made. And they have plenty of enablers right here on a website called FreeRepublic, of all places.

Pathetic ... really.

I never claimed they got a free ride.

But have you ever been EXPELLED from college? I haven’t (came closer than I should have though) - it doesn’t sound like fun, including trying to explain it to whatever college(s) you then apply to.
