Sport increases physical fitness, which has been scientifically proven to increase attention spans and ability to learn and understand concepts.
Right. That would explain why so many jocks are so incredibly stupid.
Sport teaches teamwork and commitment to a cause, something which is decidedly lacking in todays society and yet remains a key and influential factor in any job interview.
No, kissing ass remains a key factor in any job interview.
Sports doesn’t teach you anything that can be applied to the real world. You can’t take what you learn on a football field and apply it to a corporation; there’s just no correlation between the two. If what you’re saying were true, most high school jocks would go on to be high-ranking corporate managers by value of their having played football alone. HINT: They don’t.
And it would also seem that sport also provides something to be targetted by those not good enough who, instead of working and trying to make the team (if they so wish), simply want to @#%$ and cuss out those who can.
Oh, you got me, Lupercus. I tried out for so many teams in high school, and time and time again was refused… that’s the root of my animus, my troubled childhood… oh, the tears…
Give me a break. What is it with you people and your unshakable belief that you have achieved greatness by being on your high school football team? Why is that belief matched only by your certainty that everyone else wishes they could be on “THE TEAM, HOOT HOOT” as well?
Have a nice time bitching Gash, it appears its all you are willing to do in this matter.
Wait, wait, I’m sorry, you came into a thread
I started and took an opposing viewpoint backed up by a few threadbare, poorly-composed and ill-conceived points, and
I’m the one bitching. Interesting. I guess that’s some more jock intelligence.
