Tf are u talking about? I was friends with everyone. Everybody at every school I went to thought I was hilarious didn't matter if it was the Jock Straps or the G's and I turned out very anti social and EXTREMELY fukked in the head.

put that on the college resume I hear pac 10 schools are offering crazy scholarships for the best players around america

The educational level of these kids is very very low

No. The street smarts are non existent. The book smarts are well above average. Just like the owners of this country want. Smart as humanly possible to run the machines, and never question anything or start anything for themselves.

Makes sense since that conference can’t play anything else...PAC-12

It is why The Indians, Asians and Jews keep succeeding

I wonder if in the olden days if people were scratching their heads saying

"They are given scholarships for playing a leisure kids game with a ball?"

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I don't have much faith in today's youth...

[jjgold]

educated parents do not let their kids play video games much

i could probably guess the fukkin states without even looking

It is a real thing and they make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Military has even tried to recruit some in the past for high-tech stuff

Not sure most understand the off the charts reflexes, instincts, and skills some of these professionals have.

Sounds silly I know but true.

But teaching it in school is going too far.

[Kermit]

Well, at least it's something that transgenders can compete in without causing any controversy.

We're does it say they're teaching it school? Sounds like it's being treated like every other club/sport.

Yes you're right.

[reigle9]
