Good post. Bookmarking so in can use the college football argument if this comes up again.
Thanks! I tried to keep it as short as possible while still getting all the info across, so sorry if it’s a lil choppy.
There’s loads more detail on this specific instance that I left out, and it just gets more infuriating the more you look. Especially for the 19-24 y.o. kids on the teams that actually put their bodies and health on the line at such a young age to play the games that make these old fuckers so rich. Florida State actually lost their quarterback midway through the season due to a snapped lower leg, but they STILL carried on to be undefeated the rest of the season! That never happens! Just to be told by some old farts in board rooms that that still isn’t enough to play for a championship title. They gave their spot to a team with a worse record, but would make ESPN more money. Heartbreaking.
This topic grinds my gears, and I’m not even a sports fan, my SO is.
