Jackman, in all fairness, I don't think a single person in this thread called athletes stupid or uneducated. I really don't see where at all that is and think perhaps you are reacting to a bias that stems from outside of this thread?
i don't think this is a downer thread, it's par for the course. lol. when people don't agree with each other they get called idiot. this appears to be just how things go.
shell, you're right and i explained as much in one of my posts (i think). it may not have been in this thread, there are a few olympic threads going on. there's definitely some "sports are simple-minded" type of posts that i won't be arsed to look up (lol, yeah i said ... "arsed"). there's other quotes, but i'm not bothered by any of it. stimbo voiced his dislike of sports in the best light - it's just not his cup of tea. that's perfectly fine. i just don't like the pretention of the way that some others have put it, where "if it's not all science all day, then what good is it?"
