Retards? That's a bit inflamatory, don't ya think?I mean, we all know that most schools will recruit and give athletic scholarships to guys whose IQ may not be mensa because that want performance on the field or court. True, some schools try a little harder, or have slightly higher standards, but the phenomenon is still prevalent wherever you go. How much do you forgive academic standards if it increases athletic results?All I'm saying is, let's brag about performance & results on the field/court, and let's even brag if our atheletes have some academic successes compared to elsewhere, but let's not stoop to calling other school's atheletes "retards", even if msopher really would be wise to fight another battle, because his points sound like obvious rationalization and denial.
