Kickball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kickball)

nope. I won't be defending "kickball". Now go back to your "rugby" with 100 lbs of padding and 5 seconds of sprinting every 2 minutes.

Arguably no worse than Bernie Ecclestone's done with F1. Or the BCS has done with college handegg. In fact, the latter has done more single-handedly to destroy and diminish the value and worth of a college education in the USA...than practically every other negative force combined. And then there's Ron Artest being allowed to continue playing in the NBA, and Ray Rice being allowed to continue playing in the NFL. And the MLB has had no shortage of juicers--to the point at which its star athletes all look like the human equivalents of the residents of one of Tyson's poultry farms; and all this, while poor Pete Rose is still treated like a pariah.

Now all we need is for NASCAR to blow the lid off JJ's team cheating for years on end--which I would guess most of us are thinking, but none of us has proof of.

if you think college football has anything to do with education I've got bad news for you. other sports not so much. things like track and field sports provide kids a means to an education that might not otherwise be able to afford let alone even get into some of these schools.

p.s. the NBA did more to ruin the idea of a "student athlete" with their BS one and done BS than anyone else possible could. that's also another reason I think basketball is a joke. literally no other major US sport can someone walk out of highschool and compete to any degree at the professional level.

I wasn't insinuating college football had anything to do with education. College Football is, to my knowledge, the only sport with the dubious distinction of "Graduates" who are illiterate.

a lot of guys don't graduate. that being said I know plenty of people that graduated from various schools that can't tie their shoes and they never played sports. :dontknow:
