FOOTBALL is NOT *EDUCATION*

What has this:


To do with THIS? :


In the USA, the answer is MONEY.

The USA has been sold on Football making money for colleges, therefore doesn't even question exposing vulnerable female students to violent, ignorant jocks who by all rights would never even have been accepted to the school if they weren't being used as "cash cows".

In this scam, "student-athletes" who are not even paid due to their "student" status are given scholarships to Universities in exchange for playing football.  The University and it's staff pockets the money they generate.  Coaches in high schools groom and scout players who are allowed to take tests seperately from the rest of the students, allowed to cheat, scored differently, etc because they are "cash cows" for the school.  They learn little of nothing in high schools, little of nothing in colleges, yet emerge with a degree and an NFL career.  The are allowed to commit crimes with impunity, especially crimes against women.

In Ancient Greece, it was considered reprehensible to take money to teach, first of all.  But since we are in an Ultra Capitalism, the allmighty Dollar makes decisions for us unfortunately.  College students are vulnerable and date rapes and out and out rapes like the one in Steubenville happen every single year due to the ultra macho sports culture being harbored by schools as a way to bring in cash.  Don't fall victim to this!

HOW TO CUT AND RUN:

Try to choose a school where sports are not the main way the school secures funding.  Scrutinize State schools especially who need the funds from Football.

If you're stuck going to one of these schools, avoid the areas where athletes congregate, avoid their parties, and even avoid making friends with their girlfriends- the Steubenville Rape Victim was lured to one of their parties by a GIRL who was the girlfriend of one of the players, and was subsequently knocked out by a roofie in her drink and then gang raped at several different parties before being dumped on her parent's lawn.  The girlfriend knew about this and did nothing, and was the catalyst of the situation.  However, she has not been charged with a crime because of the corruption that protects these athletes.  Avoid all of them, male and female, like the plague if you must go to a school with them there.

Just in case you thought I was the only one saying this, FORBES has already written several articles about how Football is corrupting Universities and should be removed. FORBES ARTICLE

Football itself is a ridiculous display of gender role stereotyping, is antiquated, and should be ignored and boycotted by any reasonable, thinking individual.
