[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find the “sports are so pointless” posters interesting, because they are undoubtedly the same posters claiming that the one and only way for a child to be successful in life is through advanced academics, with the goal being multiple Ivy degrees that the kids can work into any conversation until the end of time. The concept of being a great athlete at a state university being another path to professional success is unthinkable to them.[/quote] It’s not unthinkable- it’s just not a likely path and so not really a wise one to follow. At elite grad schools and jobs, they aren’t full of state school athletes. There may be a few. But not many. They are full of people who got good grades and went to top colleges. It’s just a fact[/quote]
