if sports interfere with your classes… then thats your fault… no other sort of hobby/job choice gets such conciteration. if you watch star trek every friday it doesn’t mean you should get the day off. if you take a job that starts at noon you don’t get special rights to skip class for it… why should sports be diffrent?

Owl because some athletes are there because they were given a scholarship to pay for their schooling. If they don’t play, they lose it.

How many times does this have to be said?
