    Speaking of offensive clothing choices... I was today years old when I discovered that the traditional African cloth that the senate dems draped themselves in for their little photo opp the other day, is unique to the Ashanti empire of Ghana which ruled the gold coast for centuries. The Ashanti...

    @305to954 Do you even ******* realize what you're openly proposing? Are you completly blind to the fact that there are parents and others on this board whose family members' lives/dreams/hopes would be ******* upended by your myopic insistence that it matters not if 1,000s of young student...

    Oh, so you don't really care about young student athletes. Got it. You're literally admitting that you recognize that everything I've posted is in fact true...but you don't care.

    Ok that works for the top 50 revenue generating programs. What about the rest? You're talking thousands of kids every single year who are no longer afforded an opportunity to pursue a dream or a degree because their scholarships are no longer cost effective due to the disparity between the haves...

    Golf, and 87 other sports. Again, more opportunity for a greater number of young people vs a few guys getting a payday. So in lieu of funding 1,000s of programs for student athletes, you would rather the 1% get paid?

    What you're advocating for will incidentally lead to less opportunity for young athletes, not more. The 1% who are good enough to play professionally will still make it. Those who are marginally good enough will suffer because they'll toil in obscurity while the professional leagues focus on the...

    Thank you for making my point. You're choosing to participate in the flawed system just like they are. You can quit watching any time you want if it offends you. They can quit playing any time they want if they feel exploited. You keep watching for your own selfish reasons, just like they keep...

    Then you're part of a system that exploits people. You gonna stop using your smartphone? My point is that you're a wiling participant in many systems that exploit people. Everyone is. You have a choice. If you're so worried about the exploitation of college athletes, then you should stop...

    To be perfectly honest, I don't believe in justice at all. To me justice is any eye for an eye. However, we all know where that leads...an ever escalating war for an abstract, subjective concept that nobody's ever satisfied with. The question becomes, can a system devised by people provide...

    Let me preface this by saying that I'm not trying to patronize you or pin you down so that I can tear apart your argument. I'm genuinely interested in listening and understanding your point of view. To be honest, I'm not sure if I agree with you or not yet. Of course I have my own opinions based...

    Nobody is pointing a gun at anyone's head and forcing them to do sports. This isn't the soviet union. Young men make a choice to play sports for a multitude of reasons. Not every athlete believes they are going to play sports professionally. Some do it for the degree, believe it or not. The...
