Would they be completely illiterate, without football?

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.
