[quote=Anonymous][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.

There has been plenty of hate on that as well. I have become so disenchanted that my default is to assume that these things are bogus and manufactured. [b]I do alumni interviewing and I am usually super easy going and nice but I love ripping apart the kids who have these fake research/non-profit/international service type things. [/b]And I am very pleasantly surprised when I meet a kid for whom it really is legit.

Colleges/universities are supposed to strive for the ideal of the well-rounded human being. So a good athlete should be recognized and that should be given weight. But it has shifted from being a positive factor at many of these schools back in our generation to having way too much influence on the process. And when a lacrosse roster has 50 kids at a small school, that is a lot of seats.

And this is coming from someone who is absolutely obsessed with sports and went to a major D1 sports school.[/quote]

I find people like you so fascinating. Like what happened to you to make you stuck like this. I’ll never understand it. [/quote]
