----- Original Message ----- Look, organized sports are rather terrible for the athletes; and given the average length of an athlete's career (especially in football) and the physical damage done his body, athletes are not paid very well. Is Real Sprts still on HBO. I can't see the TV screen anymore so I don't know, but it was one of the best shows on TV.

I was horrified to find out, after reading the Atlantic article on college sports, that "student atheletes" are not covered by workman's comp if they get injured. They're not covered by anything. It's little better than slavery.
