Title IX pays off

[Blues Man]

I doubt that.

What you don't realize is that people who aspire to be great at anything do it whether or not the government gets involved.
giving out scholarships for athletics is beyond stupid

Complete nonsense

Nobody becomes a great athlete playing basketball in their driveway
Becoming a world class competitor takes training, facilities and coaching
Those things cost money

And those things do not have to be provided by the government

The way you paint it is that there were no great athletes before the government stepped in and that is pure bullshit

College is the primary means of developing athletes

Then let the colleges pay for it and keep the fucking government out of it

They do pay for it
Government just ensures there is not discrimination as there was in the past in terms of access to athletic scholarships and facilities

and who pays for the government to do that?

HAven't you learned yet that nothing is free?

It's a stupid law.

There is no need for the government to get involved in something as meaningless as sports

So why waste the time and money on sports when college is supposed to be about intellect?

And why should anyone get a free pass to college?

 

[Manonthestreet]

When Title IX, giving women parity in sports funding was passed....There was outrage

Why fund women’s sports?

Today, our women’s Soccer Team won the World Cup for the fourth time. Our men cant even qualify

US women dominate in Basketball, Gymnastics, Skiing, Ice Skating, Soccer,Track and Field

All because of Title IX

Very broad baseless statement. Show some evidence.

We put too much emphasis on playing meaningless games

But that's what you want it to be.

You want colleges to foot the bill for equipment and training and give free educations to people who play meaningless games

Where did I ever use the word "mindless"

Games are meaningless sports are meaningless. Really what does it matter what soccer team won the trophy?

It doesn't matter who wins some game even if the people who play it are paid a lot of money.

Yes throwing a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball with a bat is exactly the same as the Venus De Milo or Vivaldi's Four Seasons

There was a time during the dark ages that people received their Bachelors Degrees and then went on to play pro sports. Then we became much more diverse and everything became hate and racism. The salaries for pros are obscene. The college sports of basketball and football have brought in money for the schools also with the help of others that graduated from the schools who give money before the Cable TV and massive TV contracts became the norm. When it comes to sports it is what is popular over what is not. Male athletes in American rugby or lacrosse are several times the athletes that the Women soccer players are. But no traction for them. As for intellect, come on!
