[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be new to some of you, but most people eventually find a partner, despite playing a less popular sport, and despite girls flocking around the star athletes. Your star athlete - despite the multiple options they have in life - may still end up as a loser paying child support. Many of the kids that you call losers on this thread will end up with great jobs, happy families, and raising successful kids. It's not the kids who are losers, it's you who judge the kids based on the sports they are playing. [/quote] This^^^ Worshipping athletes as “rock stars” creates a bubble of entitlement and arrogance that works against their ability to be a good teammate, employee, and romantic partner. At worst, it can lead to dark places such as bullying, sexual assault, date rape, partner violence, and binge drinking. There’s a reason that these behaviors tend to cluster around certain sports and not others.[/quote]
