[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that the PP you quoted wasn't talking about GDS but laying out her own criteria for what would count as a "respectable" athletics program.  You see, football's too plebeian -- what matters is the prep school sports![/quote]

I am PP who listed sports programs of interest to me as: crew, tennis, cross country , swimming . You are right, I was just speaking in general terms of what would impress me as prior poster seemed to fall back on football a lot.  It has nothing to do with what one person may term a "plebian" sport. It is simply that crew , cross country , tennis, and swimming are very physically demanding sports that require A LOT of aerobic and anaerobic training and I respect that. Football, less so. [/quote]

Do you have some kind of evidence to back that up?  Or did you pull that out of your ass?[/quote]

The complete quote was "Not interested in football; who is ? But, National level in crew, cross country, tennis and lacrosse is respectable."  Pretty clearly an argument from snobbery rather than from fitness or physical challenge.[/quote]
