Opinion of jocks

It depends of course, but they tend to be awful human beings.

The reason Mr. Hawk would say such a ridiculous thing is because he would never actually be able to talk to a cheerleader. Tbh just because you guys may have had poor experiences with so-called "jocks" just like mr. hawk apparently did with the cheerleaders doesn't justify stereotyping, I mean, considering some of you actively identify as SJW's or whatever.

Jocks are a privileged group in society. Just like I feel no qualm about insulting whites or men, I have no problem calling out jocks. And yes, I know that all generalizations are factually wrong, but in the context of this poll it makes sense.

You know I'm against Deluge-ing posts on principle, Tony, but Jesus this was tempting. "Jocks are a privileged group".  Are we living in a John Hughes movie?

Aren't they? Privilege can mean many different things, it's not necessarily economic or racial. Maybe I'm not familiar enough with the meaning of "jock", aren't they the popular guys who do well at sports, are the leaders of a large clique, and are always the center of attention?

LOL no, I don't think there was even a real "jock" at my middle school - which leads me to think it might be a specifically American phenomenon, related to the importance of athletics and such. Most of the assholes I've encountered in these years (and yes, I've encountered many assholes, and I feel perfectly justified in loathing these awful specimens) were just the average students, really.

Also, my best friend from High School (whom I still keep in touch with) was a charismatic super-popular guy who ended up becoming the student council president in senior year.

wow...so, huh, where did you learn to hate jocks so much?

Mostly news stories about the awful stuff that happens in high schools (bullying, homophobia, rape, etc.), I guess. I don't really care if it's an unfair view, because "jock" is more of an archetype to me than an actual category. It's not like I'm actually judging real people based on whether I consider them to be jocks or not.

I would appreciate if you did not alter my quotes without making it clear these are your words and not mine.
