Now, I'm posting this with the realization I'm a relative newcomer to this site, and my opinion may not count for much. But hey, it's a forum, right, where opinions can be expressed?
RF made the comment that if jocks were treated better by certain individual(s), there might be more activity in the forums. You may well be correct, RF (and this certainly is not meant as a dig at you, so I hope you won't take it that way), but I don't really want jocks' points of view on here.
My reasoning is this: I came here because I was weary of trying to fit into "sports culture". I wanted to find people who would be supportive of me in this. Is this biased? You bet it is! But...there are *thousands* of sports sites on the web where jocks and and their fans can make their viewpoints known -- this was one of *very few* I found focusing on disliking sports. I could visit any of those other multitudes of websites for the "support sports" view -- but of course, I don't need to, I've been exposed to it on a daily basis almost my whole life. Even if I'm not watching a game -- there's been people at school/work talking about sports almost nonstop; a entire section of my local newspaper devoted to sports, whereas national/international and business news sometimes are lucky to get a single page, and sometimes sports still spills onto the front page; and sports are used to advertise virtually any type of product or service you can think of.
Quite honestly, I already know the arguments they're going to make -- sports build character, sports keep you physically fit (although coincidentally, most people I've known who are very physically fit have little interest in *watching* televised sports), you need sports to build social skills, look at how many athletes are good people who help their communities, and so on and so forth. All these arguments are either flawed or irrelevant (for example, even if every athlete were a perfect angel who did nothing but good, that still wouldn't make a non-fan interested in *watching their sport*), and they've been shredded numerous times on this site, which the "jocks" should have found out, had they bothered to read a little of the forums and letters before jumping in.
Some have talked about how intelligent dialogue is useful if the sports fan comes here to genuinely learn about the opposing view. On this point, I technically agree, but I've had past experiences with other forums (I'm in an atheist forum and childfree-by-choice forum as well) with opponents joining who "only wanted to learn" about us. In virtually *every* case, they ended up a)preaching to us about why were wrong and b) when they saw they we weren't buying it, they resorted to insults, then either left or were kicked off the forum by the admins. So, yes, I'm a bit mistrustful of jocks or fans who come on a "sports suck" site. I mean really -- doesn't the name "Sports Suck" indicate it's not exactly going to be friendly territory for them. What do they expect to find -- a group devoted to talking about how good the Yankees will be this year?
If someone wants to know my opinions on sports and the jock culture, I'll gladly share with them, if they are the rare fan who truly does just want to learn. However, I have no interest in debating with them, as trying to argue someone into liking/disliking something seems pointless.
As I said, I'm still relatively new here, and I may need to just learn to make better use of the "friend/foe" feature. Anyhow, this has just been my $.02.
