Let's see. Who was the person talking about "jocks" in an early post? That would be you...The kickball comment is just an expression for someone who carries a chip around on their shoulder like somebody owes them some thing. I don't know you, but you act like these athletes are getting cheated and treated like slave laborers. I completely disagree with that and that's where I'm going to leave it....And I have know idea where that academics comment came from. Good day.
