By that i mean, do sports open the door to an education that might no otherwise have been obtained? You criticize football players for being dumb, and yet, they are trying to get an education...which, isn't that what we WANT them to do? Isn't that kind of like laughing at a toddler for trying to walk, because they aren't very good at it? A young man who's not very bright, but works hard in sports, gets a scholarship, and manages to somehow graduate with a degree, even if his GPA barely makes the cut.....man, I'd say that's MUCH more impressive than the naturally smart egghead who breezes through college with a 4.0 and his virginity still intact. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:352090 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
