[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why people hate athletes so much?  When we don't hate the made-up research or non-profit that Mom started for their kid and then got shut down before the kid even left for college.

We don't hate the player, hate the game.

It's a ridiculous proposition to say that any sport besides football and basketball really adds anything to a university. Most sports are a drain on finances. Sure, offering athletics is good for the mind and body, but why not just have all sports be walk on? 
Recruitment highly favors kids whose parents have the time and money to help them get to a certain level.

What makes a good club sport lacrosse player that much more valuable to the school over the kid who was a starter on his school's lax team but not good enough for recruitment? Assuming they are similar in all other ways. Both put in a lot of time and effort and discipline. One just makes the lax team better but what does that do for the school? [/quote]
