18. Stop pushing a stereotype...
There are plenty of assholes in this world who never were on the football team.

I was a nerd in high school, and yes the jocks did get a lot of attention. But that's kind of how high school is set up, what with homecoming football games and all that. Sports do get a lot of focus. Big deal, so the jocks got a moment in the spotlight. Just because someone was good at sports in high school doesn't mean they went on to become wife beaters later in life. It's very judgmental to suggest it.
