Too much money is spent on football, and what is the payoff on this so-called investment? A culture of rape and entitlement. Neither of these has a place in education!

The Atlantic, Huffport, Nation… part of the liberal war against masculinity aka war against competition. Libs are against competition because - much like having a strong opinion which is also not politically correct – competition has implicit winners and losers. Everything must be equal.

The war against sports is mostly being led by the red herring of safety (i.e. concussions) but make no mistake: the real goal of the anti-competition bed-wetters is to eliminate all sports. After all, just like someone talking about their religious beliefs makes you uncomfortable and should be banned, likewise, competition (sports) can make people uncomfortable.

And we all know the first right in the bill of rights it the right to never feel uncomfortable.

Typical anti-Americanism. Is there any issue that exists where the first argument by the left is that “other” countries don’t do it this way? High school sports are distinctly American so predictable that the left is against them.

I do think that part where the girl said she'd be ruined if she didn't get to play under the big lights was ridiculously entitled of her. This is what we don't need. How much do those damn lights cost anyway? I don't want to waste money on some egotistical daughter of some helicopter soccer mom.

OP, go back to your safe space right now so you don't cause any more trigger events that will make you cry.

While in that safe space, please pour gasoline on yourself and DIAF.

George "Noose" Allen.

He's a shining example of what a football family turns out. Virginia, and national politics are well rid of him.

Catch a pass, burn a cross.

The payoff is huge. Without the outlet of football, military etc., these men would absolutely destroy society. So, they are given outlets & avenues to become treasured "leaders" of society. Social engineers always know exactly what they're doing, some people just don't understand.
These Math & Sciences people think only they should matter & count. For group who values logic so dearly, they rarely have much of it. Incredibly aggressive people in their own right.

Keep football, but get rid of cheerleading and marching band.
