[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a direct correlation between women who rise to leadership level in business and participation in sports- I guess that's irrelevant. The people talking about jocks as idiots would probably be surprised to see the test scores and grades that these 'idiots' manage. [/quote] This is outdated. Sure, many ex jock boomers and to an extent gen Xers who played sportball at an Ivy or big state U make good money. But how is that applicable to now? All the modern tech zillionaires and tech execs are wicked smart nerds, ideally with polished social skills. Dumb jocks in 2020 are selling cars, insurance and pushing medical devices on doctors. The nerds who control everything actually despise dumb jocks. Find me a young dumb jock in a high-powered position and I'll bet you find a very rich dad or grandpa behind him.[/quote]
