There is no possible rational conversation you can have with a fan of college football about the disproportionate blood sucking they're responsible for. These spectators are parasites. Conversing with them rationally is just as likely as conversing with a tick. They're ignorant. They don't care, they don't want to care.
Addition: And paying them big time doesn't make it right. That's just more gladiator mentality. The idea of affixing them with more glory makes their sacrifice, and lifelong injuries OK, because they're being fairly compensated for it. Don't fix the sport, don't become less violent, no one change anything except pay the gladiators better.
- Bud 9y agoWhich is of course hilarious bullshit, since a tiny percentage of college players ever see dollar one of NFL money. I agree that paying them would not make this right, but it'd be better than cynically killing them all at age 40, disabling their brains in their mid 20s if not earlier, and never paying them anything at all. Paying them their real market value would at least help.
