[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have several incredible doctors who work at top medical centers who are former high level college athletes - I literally trust them with my life. And I appreciate their athletic background as helping them to make decisions in stressful situations, and it often gives them a better bedside manner.[/quote]

Considering the rest of the world doesn’t give breaks to athletes who want to be doctors you must think it’s amazing that they have any competent doctors at all. [/quote]

Holy dumb comment Batman. Sorry you got cut from your fourth grade soccer team and have a grudge against athletes.

Everyone is racing to extremes, as usual. The unathletic dorks who think that all athletes are evil and there is no benefit from playing sports are worse than those who think that athletes deserve every break in the world (fewer of those posting here). One can reasonably argue that athletes get a few too many breaks without being childish and nasty and discrediting the many good things that come out of participating in and watching sports.

I think many of those opposing sports are those who want America to be like China or India or wherever else that is a "meritocracy" and solely based on test scores. Which is why I choose not to live in those countries.[/quote]

Realizing you probably don't get my Batman reference because you are a nerd and don't like sports or TV or anything else that brings normal people joy. Watch Batman and you will get it.[/quote]
