[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stupid athletes with "team" skills are not contributing to the world. They don't invent things, they aren't creating businesses, leading corporations, making a difference - they are just louts and followers, drinkers and philanderers. Maybe you like them so you can boss them around - maybe that's the "team" aspect. Exercise is good, and goals are good. But after 4-5 hours per week, high school athletics are just making kids less educated, less prepared, less well-read. And that's why the world's more focused students are starting to eat our lunch. If you got C's, I'm not going to hire you. If you got B's, I don't want you either. And there's a new study, by the way, that says extroverts are not the best sales people. So don't bother with that argument.
