The comments on a vid of an American doctor describing how he helped US athletes dope in past Olympics:

"this is what Russia and China are doing"

the vid is about Americans doping

"they only dope bc they had to compete with the USSR and their state-sponsored doping program"

And the US doesn't have to sponsor it bc our enterprising free-thinking capitalists will do it for them

"wow he's actually dropping names"

yeah, of the people who were already caught

r/chapotraphouse? U mean like that podcast?

this is the crazy thing to me. Even before this case Trump showed that u could just issue executive orders and if they were illegal then too bad because any lawsuits would take way too long to get through the courts

So Biden could do BASICALLY ANYTHING. But he won't because he and the DNC don't actually care. And even don't want to fix anything because then they can point at the problems and say "republicans bad". Which of course they are but i mean like come on lol

"I hope this is not true forever but I can’t argue with you. My father is the artist, he turned 88 on Monday, so he has witnessed the rise and fall of most of the dictatorships of the 20th century. A neo-conservative of the 1960s, Andre believes that, while the CCP may not fall in his lifetime, that eventually it will crumble to the will of the people."

 

The era of amateur athletics in college is officially over. While it's obviously good that the players (the ones providing the value) are officially getting compensated, the knock-on effects on other parts of the universities will likely be negative. Tuition will likely increase to cover some of the athletes' wages, and non-revenue sports will be squeezed further. Additionally, it will be more difficult for schools without warchests to compete on the field, if they are even given a chance at all.

For football, I'm envisioning an MLB-like future where NFL teams will draft players out of high school, then have the option to let them enroll in colleges on renewable one-year deals as makeshift minor leagues.

Further down the road, I think eventually college football teams will be affiliated with universities in name only and will completely divest from academics. Behind the scenes this has basically already happened but now there is no need for the amateurism veil. They will become glorified developmental leagues, but will not be completely subsumed by the NFL because 1) there are not enough NFL roster spots to support that, and 2) college football teams are major brands that make a lot of people a lot of money.
