Thank You !

Employers also like former college athletes. The skill set speaks to determination, goal oriented, competitive, team player skills and good physical well being

employers like former college athletes because they tend to be white and wealthy like them and because former athletes hire other former athletes so they're not constantly the dumbest person in the room.

Athletes tend to be healthy-looking and can work on a team. They've dealt with wins and losses. They also can also often engage in small talk with colleagues and clients about sports.

This just shows how low the bar is for athletes to be considered an “asset”. Well, athletes don’t generally set the office on fire so that’s why they’re hired.

Prima Donna chronic complainers don’t either, they don’t even get it why they’re ushered out for grad school instead of promoted or sent in-house to a client.

I think that’s a bit harsh. I mean athletes are under qualified and lacking in intellectual horsepower but to brand them all prima donnas seems a bit unnecessary.

Nice twist but the prima donnas complainers are the non-athletes who poo poo sports and working. They’re easy to spot, are loud, have nothing to add, and don’t end up advancing.

My bad. Since it sounded like a fitting description of athletes who are hired for anything other than competence and work you’ll understand my confusion. I’m sure the talking about sports things is vitally important.

Your obsession with social status in high school is therapist catnip. Do you miss sitting the feeling you got sitting at the “cool” kids table in the cafeteria?

All I’m doing is saying that athletes are mostly under qualified for the colleges they attend and the claim that their soft skills and attributes somehow make up for that is just excuse making.

Still coasting on your high school achievements are we? I guess if that’s where you peaked that’s where you peaked.

You just go to the same school as our kids. They are kept in the dark about grades, what’s high achievement, goals, anything relative performance. No grade distribution is anonymized and distributed, nothing. Everyone thinks they’re doing great. They are ready for the real world, or will make it the same hunky dory way they’ve been treated.

I have no idea who the top kids at our school are.

You’ve got to be kidding me! There are other things besides sports holy shit when’s the last time you went to the theater or a museum or read a book?

We do that 3x a month outside of our practices, games, tournaments and studying. Thx

Basically you have to differentiate yourself, whilst performing well academically. If you’re white that’s one merit based way to do it — on the field, in a race, with a team. It also has other healthy and life benefits.

Frankly the sports teams had normal Covid years too as they all isolated and practiced together. Great camaraderie too.
