For a lot of these D1 school college sports is the only game in town. Alot of the college teams have traditions that pre date professional sports teams. The study further proves that there is profit in fanaticism coupled with lack of morals and abuse of power.
Of all the college athletes, football players represented the biggest number of sexual offenders. With Football being the most popular of the sports on campus this makes sense.
With popularity comes power and influence, with tens of thousands of fans cheering you on it can seem surreal.
The effect you can have on people, the lights, and not to mention the physical strength of the players. College athletes and sports fanatics of professional sports teams can use mascots to hide racism, and riot in the street after winning a championship. Now they can pay money to cheer and support schools that support sex offenders.
Whats worse the schools giving a slap on the wrist for sex offenders or students and adults paying money to watch them? The lack of coverage speaks volumes.
In an age where entertainers and celebrities are being rightfully and wrongfully accused of sexual offenses, athletes are given a pass. Universities represent the future of the world let alone the country. The reason the student debt is over a trillion dollars is because of the expectation a degree brings.
The integrity, and the commitment it takes to complete your education prepares you for the “real world”. Perhaps the only institutions with more perceived morality are your churches, mosques and synagogues. Being the first in your family to complete college used to be an achievement.
The false promise of employment once you get a degree mirrors the land of opportunity illusion, as millions are unemployed with degrees. What messages are Universities sending to the world that instead of preparing students to positively impact the future? Instead students are learning that with power and influence you can get away with almost anything, just like in the real world.
What about the students who want to change the economy and improve capitalism to help those born in the lower class? It teaches them that unless you have money and power you will not be heard. It teaches them that those with money and power will continue to silence those without money and influence.
If you’re reading this more than likely you’re a freethinker and not a sports fanatic. But if you happen to be a sports fanatic reading this did you support #metoo but not this? Are you telling yourself that these are still kids just having fun? As a sports fanatic do you have a daughter that attends university? How would you feel if your child was sexually abused and the university did nothing?
Apparently now, it’s ok for sports fanatics to brush aside sexual offenders. Whats next, murder? Let us know your thoughts below in the comment section.
