The dismal disregard for the core purpose of education when it comes to sports simply mirrors what we have allowed to happened nationally: graduating people who have not received an education. And now, with the internet and a zillion other instant media outlets, we are seeing the ignorant result: self-styled experts on everything from international defense to the Constitution. Maybe we should just throw in the towel, allow the dumb to run everything, stop classes in favor of concentrating on sports, and while we're at it let our athletes use all the steroids and other performance enhancing drugs they choose to. After all, this is all about entertainment isn't it? Bring on the gladiators!
