- jolux 10y agoWhy do you think athletes are dumb?
- patmcguire 10y agoYeah, I thought about this before I posted. I mean, they're not explicitly selected on intelligence, so you get the full spectrum of people. And there are a lot of dumb people in the world, which kind of gets cut off by the process of deciding who gets to be on TV, etc, unless you're also a good athlete.
- jolux 10y agoMost quarterbacks actually are quite smart. And also there are plenty of dumb people who get to be on TV: take Wolf Blitzer for example.
