They work 50 hours a week in sports. They risk their physical health and brains for the rest of their lives. They work every Saturday and they work off season. They have to participate in spring football. Does any other student even come close to that dedication of time? You are like a lot of people in that you are jealous of athletes. The only reason you didn't play is because you were eliminated at an early age.
