[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this thread is all about sports now. [/quote]

This is in this area sports are the things that the UMC strivers can’t just throw enough money at to allow their kids to “compete” if the kids are just not athletes.  (Which look around at your fellow parents- they’re not.)

Academics aren’t such a huge concern to this demographic, in that the kids probably have a baseline level of intelligence such that some extra tutoring can easily close any gaps.  But the genes passed down from their uncoordinated, short, dork fathers can’t be so easily overcome on the court or on the field.  And it infuriates them.[/quote]

Well…my kid goes to SJC which sends tons of kids to D1 programs (and the WCAC sends plenty of kids to professional sports teams).

When I look around I see lots of parents with good genes.  Most are UMC as well.[/quote]

Sorry I wasn’t clear.  My post was referring to real sports, not crew, lacrosse, or water polo.[/quote]

Huh?  So football, basketball and baseball aren’t real sports?

SJC routinely sends football players to Power 4 schools, had 2 NFL players drafted this pas year, and WCAC had 2 players drafted in the first round (damn Gonzaga).

Do you not know what the WCAC is?[/quote]

LOL.  I guarantee none of those players have mommies who post on this site.[/quote]

Meaning what?[/quote]

Apologies again.  I thought those schools were at least academically competitive.   Maybe your DH is the smart one?[/quote]

This guy is spitting truth bombs [/quote]
