You have no good argument against anything I am saying so you have to resort to name calling. It reflects the fact I have a valid argument and the truth stings so hard. This happens when you cut through all the bullshit people like to hide behind and get into some real emotional and psychological answers. Its called striking a nerve.

You are getting lost in the football numbers but ignoring the sports that are nothing but money pits ( almost everything else ). So when you say 'lots and lots of people are profiting off these players', only in the sense that (a) coaches & ADs get paid and (b) TV gets theirs... and always will. TV is a yin & yang thing - without it, the program isn't taking in the money that it is. Coaches and ADs... are you going to say they don't deserve to get paid?!? 2. Being a former collegiate athlete, I can firmly attest that you are overstating the restrictions on employment. The jobs are approved & monitored to make sure some work is getting done, but the pay is very good and the labor is usually minimized ( ie. 'cushy' jobs ). 3. So 'fair pay' isn't silly but participating in a market by choosing where to work is? Student athletes are compensated with the best scholarships in the country. Low GPA requirements, tuition paid, housing paid, food paid, some miscellaneous campus items paid ( on campus card program for extra meals or bookstore supplies ), loaner books, setup with a well paying summer job, free tutoring, free continuing education for your bachelor if you leave early for the NFL, free health care via personal training staff, and if they make a bowl game, free gifts such as shopping sprees, TVs, $400 headphones, MP3 players, and video game systems. Yeah... they are sooooo taken advantage of... But obviously, suggesting that if they don't like those accommodations that they can pursue the Arena league, Canadian league, SemiPro league or special exemption to enter the NFL early, that's just crazy talk! |

You also said the majority of black college athletes would be in prison or dead if they didn't have the ability to play ball. I knew many black athletes when I went to college and I guarantee you that many of them are smarter than you and had aspirations outside of sports. Your argument about how most college basketball fans don't like the NBA and that this is because the NBA looks thuggish with all the tatted up players and also that they are getting paid millions of dollars is rubbish. Personally, I don't like the NBA because they don't play basketball the way I like to see it played. Too much of 4 players standing around while one player goes one on one against a defender. I never think about what a certain player is making or concern myself with how many tattoos they have or if they have dreadlocks or not. Please feel free to continue on with your blatant stupidity though. It has been mildly entertaining. |

You also said "Your argument is complete bullshit. You basically stated that the majority of college sports fans are priveledged white people who don't want to see the poor black athlete make money so that these white people can continue to look down on these athletes and feel some sort of superiority to them." I didn't exactly say that you did, and this idea seems to bother everyone the most. I will admit though you don't see alot of minorities at college sporting events. What has been you experience, or did you even notice. Maybe not as I am sure you are above such things. |

If they start paying college athletes then the NCAA should remove all scholarships for sports programs.

If they form a union, and are viewed as "employees" the athletes very well could be taxed on the value of their education as well as their monetary compensation. They will get the good with the bad. I think this is a classic case of, "Be careful what you ask for, you might get it"...
