ReDaZnDraGoN97 08/17/21 1:22:53 AM #1:	I have heard people who think that football is for people with no brains who have nothing else going for them if they dont make it to the pros because lots of people think theyre too stupid to do anything else Im shocked people even look down on football players like this I dont see how thats any different than other careers out there because Im pretty sure lots of people out there will be nothing without their careers going for them so.

Glob 08/17/21 2:59:08 AM #8:	I don't look down on them, but I do find it strange that being good at football seems to be enough to get you into college in the US. Feel free to tell me if I've misunderstood though. I say this as somebody who had a sports scholarship when I went to university in the UK. However, that was literally some supplemental cash and access to facilities. It didn't help me get on the course. <cite>Glob posted [p:957159979] in TIL that t...
