[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]``The Sidwell community is hostile towards athletics because the Sidwell student population, as whole, sucks at sports.''

Sidwell isn't hostile to sports.  You'll understand that one day when your boss invites you in to his office to kindly give you his pair of 50-yard-line Redskin tickets as a reward for doing a good job that week. You'll notice the maroon alumni coffee cup on the desk and sadly appreciate the important difference between being a laxbro in high school and being an actual success in life.  [/quote]

A new high (low) in pretentious douchebaggery, this time from a Sidwell parent. Sigh. This should be corrected, though, to read that the mug belongs to the parent of a Sidwell kid, because the power and Redskins season tickets at Sidwell generally belong to the parents not to the graduates even decades out.[/quote]

1.  Everyone stop talking about mugs.
2.  Once you've taken step 1, how about both sides cease making arguments about which schools will graduate more materially successful graduates as if it is relevant to a debate over the proper emphasis on athletics in independent schools.[/quote]
