[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree, OP. Imagine if we handed out jobs based on athletic ability… sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Or if we handed out acceptances to medical school based on athletic ability. It sounds ridiculous because it is ridiculous, and it should stop.[/quote]

Almost every president was a college athlete.

Imagine everybody that works for the NFL, NBA, NHL, and well wall street were college athletes.[/quote]

That's an interesting statement.  Since i have nothing to do, I checked it:

https://an.athletenetwork.com/blog/presidents-who-were-college-athletes

The number is 68%.

Updating this, 
- Biden, yes, football at University of Delaware one year.
- Trump, no, but maybe in his own mind.

Color me surprised, I did not know this.

I think athletics is great and has a role and kids should play in college who want to.  I did.  Leadership, commitment, hard work, etc.  Kind of gross to see Harvard recruiting juniors for lacrosse though, and not IMO winners.[/quote]
