Do sports nerds still consider themselves to be higher in the hierarchy of nerds than others? Pretty sad.

Actually we just import athletes from other countries now, Americans are too fat and weak in comparison to, say, Kenyans.

South Florida is pretty serious as far as youth sports are concerned. Recruitment for football happens from like middle school onward, and it happens for baseball too. I started getting attention like just before 8th grade for baseball and alot of my friends and guys I ended up playing with got it as early as sixth. I went to and played for a perennially nationally ranked program, and schools fight tooth and nail over recruits and recruit hs freshman and sophomores if they're good enough. Free tuition, lunches books, whatever. It's something I have direct personal experience with. Looky here http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/news/story?id=6451796

Do you know the odds of becoming a pro football player? it's like winning the loving lotto. Of all high school football players, only 6.7% go on to compete on NCAA teams (only 2.6% compete in D1). Of that 6.7% that makes it to NCAA teams, only 256 players are drafted by the NFL. That's 1.6% of NCAA players. So, yeah, a 0.1% chance of becoming a pro if you play HS football. It's like the plot to every HS football movie ever. I'm gunna turn pro and get out of this town! *ends up as a broke and depressed laborer with a drinking problem* I'm gunna raise my kid to be a pro football player so he can get out of this town!

I wonder if you could build facilities were that were completely adequate to reap the benefits of youth sports without building a 60 million dollar monument to sportball autism.

skander posted:Sure, when you're in high school, or your kids are playing in the game. Yeah I was on my school's team and everything and after I graduated I had 0 desire at all to go to another game ever. Then again I don't live in a community centered around high school sports as the pinnacle of social achievement either I guess. quote:Do they only have two sports? Wouldn't surprise me very much. By the time I graduated my school's funding was cut so drastically that they basically nixed all sports except football, baseball, track & field, and water polo. And we were a school that posted good test scores and grades and stuff so idk. All the curriculars were gone or on their way out, too. No computer classes, basic minimum art classes, no drama department, etc.

The dumbasses in Allen held the vote on their bond like the Saturday before Superbowl Sunday, and posted the notice that the day to vote had changed on the bottom of a filing cabinet in an abandoned building. Hardly any of the population actually voted on it. I love Texas but jfc poo poo like this makes it difficult. How many goddamn giant stadiums do people need within 30 minutes of each other?

Yeah I'm sure the town of 150,000 people total needs a high school stadium that can seat 12,000 for $62 million (the most expensive HS stadium in the country) that is also 4 miles North of a $60m high school stadium that seats 18,000. Even if they need all that seating no way there isn't some graft or kickbacks going on here. I mean for real you could probably be in the parking lot of one stadium and easily see the other one. Bond proposal says this stadium would be shared district wide (although that means they are also having to build practice fields in each HS separately as well). There's also Ron Poe Stadium that seats 7,000 that they're still going to use. How the poo poo is high school football so goddamn popular there???

Kids need more activity and guidance for proper exercise, but 62 million dollars for a football stadium a handful of miles away from a 50 million dollar stadium us pretty absurd. Whats the population of this town and what did the other 150 million go to? also i say this project is silly as a fit 'n handsome goon who deadlifts fatties and bench presses barrels of lard
