I HATE student athletes...

But seriously violence is not the answer.

Write anonymous letter to their coach and the professor too demanding change. Or rally the rest of your class mates, if there are enough of you demanding they shut up, they are too embarrased to continue being jerks. If these don't work, then it's violence time. You just have to make sure you're dangerous enough so they won't take you out later. Make it known to them that you are deadly weapon and little out there, and you don't take kaka from no one.

Finnish education system is just so damn cool for not having the plight of "atheletes" who have to be pampered to. We do have the athletic sort going to high school, but the "best" atheletes go to high schools that specialise in athletics. So we leave them to their own devices in their own little schools. My school does have some atheletes, but they are usually also the best students academically too. Gotta wonder what keeps them going on like that, both training and studying like mad. Maybe sports and school both demand the same sort of qualities, like self discipline and diligency...

Kassi, well that's not exactly 100% truth. There are only few schools that will take athletes only, and they have very high requirements. As you know, we don't have those school teams, and it's not that competitive, and it's not an excuse to not do your work in school if you're athlete so.. yep, system is different. But there is still some small grouping anyway, depends schools etc. But not as bad as in the US.

Also coaches nation wide are really pushing that school is important, and if you don't do good, you will be punished in the team, for example not getting to play but only train. I haven't heard this actually ever happening though

ACK!

Brutal. I guess these past 2 semesters I've been having the jacka** jocks. Over here, for Psych., we have different criteria to graduate....so I've been having those "jocks" who don't talk as much and actually pay attention. But Sociology is a mickey mouse course so many of the stereotypical jocks take that class.

Oh well, go UH.

That's the way the world works.

No, you're wrong, Ming.

That's the way the United States works.

Hey we hate you too you non-athletic fat f*cking nerds.

Fat? Me?

Here in Australia, college sports isn't really the same way it is in the Motherland. We do have jocks, but they usually don't do anything annoying. Then again, it might just be me. I think people are afraid of me because I'm not afraid to glare at complete strangers.

I was a soccer jock in high school, but Australia doesn't consider soccer a real sport.
