Holy Toledo! and here I thought Buckeye boosters were only interested in reducing thuggery, that's thuggery not buggery, amongst athletes by controling the flow cash during games. Another survey on athletes may be in order here, but hopefully done with proper controls this time.
Just what we need, another dumb internet unscientific survey. Someone banish that crack-pot. Except for a few parents, everyone pretty much knows that most athletes are gay, especially football players. Come on now, contact sports is not about winning a game. Do you really think those men gripping and grappling and rolling around on the ground are in it to score a few touchdowns? Gimme' a damn break here! We don't need another dumb internet survey to establish that.
Granted, most athletes are gay but student perceptions of that are at issue here. What is student perception of athletes? Will they continue to pay to see contact sports knowing the players are in it to only sneak a cheap feel of another's genitals when they are all piled up on the football field? What about that? What affect could that have on funding for the Sociology Department, eh? Do the ciphering, wise guy - if ticket sales are down, some classes get wiped out and guys like Prof. Freese have to take a second job. You like to tout the numbers, until the chickens come home to roost that is.
affect = verb; effect = noun. learn it, know it, live it.
Indeed, I stand corrected - my mind was on locally convex vector spaces, adrift in purity as they say, but, it doesn't excuse such gross conduct on my part.
