So, it's been a few months...
Can't say I really have a reason why other than I've been absolutely crazy busy.
I think I may turn this into an opinion blog, not that it isn't 100% of my opinion already. Lately, I've had a lot of opinions that seem to get people fired up.
I was inspired to create this opinion blog by this article which I came across this week. This is a strictly OPINION that people from all over my hometown were outraged by. Why? They buy into the fact that student athlete's are of utmost importance, just as the article eludes to.
I was of the minority opinion, I, for the most part, agree with the writer. I go to a school where most athletes DO get what they want, DON'T attend class and DO believe they are entitled. There are two sides to every story, though. My sister is a college athlete. She does attend class, does participate in class projects and does not believe because she is an athlete that the world is owed to her. All I ask is that before people lose it over this article, see both sides to every story. Work on a group project with an athlete who doesn't contribute, much less show up to class. Sure, they make the University a fun place to watch sports, but how much outside of sports are they contributing to the University?
