“my, my, touchy, aren’t we...”

No, not at all, I just think that athletics and a post-secondary education are a bad fit. Guess we disagree. Beyond that I see “professional sports” as one of those things that’s contributing to the demise of our country, because the become the be all and end all for a lot of people who use them as a substitute for living and participating in making our country work. If that’s “touchy,” count me in.

Well, since colleges have been sponsoring athletics for over a hundred years, your view appears to be ‘bad fit’ with them...

Hmmm...all the cultural and moral rot in this country, and you think pro sports is going to do us in...OK...

a lot of people who use them as a substitute for living and participating in making our country work

so, watching a couple of football games on a weekend, with an interest in the outcome, precludes us from functioning as citizens...who knew...?
