I like it.<br /><br />Hmmm. Now what do I think?<br /><br />The rational, well-educated part of me totally agrees with you. Education is more important than sports and grades should come before the scoreboard.<br /><br />But the irrational part, the part that's the father of a star athlete, sorta disagrees. Athletes need to be held responsible for their behavior, but in a free-market system, they're entitled to earn what they can, whether they deserve it or not. What true for Bill Gates is true for Tiger Woods. <br /><br />And given that people seem to be given different skill sets -- math for one, art for another, hockey for still another -- part of me feels like it would be nice to recognize those differences and tailor their education accordingly. My son, for example, would really benefit from a program that was geared toward athletes (they have similar programs in Canada and England).<br /><br />Frankly, I guess I think it's very complex.MikeWJ at Too Many Morningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05357719098554598893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694444418058171953.post-16540520176377044492010-03-09T22:39:28.992-05:002010-03-09T22:39:28.992-05:00Excellent points, every one of them.

So I'm not as in shape as some steroid freak athlete; I'm just a normal person. My advantage is that I live a very clean and moral life. No scandals from me. :DRick (Ratty)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04062449024949497557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694444418058171953.post-65057691403613428622010-03-09T22:29:31.112-05:002010-03-09T22:29:31.112-05:00You're so right about what's going on with...You're so right about what's going on with the athletes these days.

I've seen grown men act like children over little league games--all for the win. We think we have come so far in society, but really, we are no better than cavemen when we use athletes as role models. <br /><br />But that is just how it is. If you aren't good in sports, you are nothing as a male. I learned that when my kid was in kindergarten.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07042143254001890567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694444418058171953.post-53176943211270052722010-03-09T17:17:49.422-05:002010-03-09T17:17:49.422-05:00You get a standing ovation from me on this post.
