The jocks played the other sports like soccer, football, and basketball. The point is, the guys that hunted and golfed are still doing it. True sports. The jocks dropped out of their sports after high school and now sit and watch it on T.V. Are people slowly going to drop out of hunting after high school and start watching it on T.V.? I guess there goes one of the last true sports.
I tend to disagree with what you say here...first of all there isn't a whole lot of opportunity to play football and soccer and such once you get out of college unless you go pro or semi pro, which is quite difficult to do. Second those sports take a much bigger toll on your body than hunting and golf.
Don't get me wrong I love hunting and golf, don't get much golfing in these days those, but maybe when I am older. I also love football and soccer, played both in highschool, it took its toll on my body too, with knee injuries, shoulder injuries and concussions and such. I am definatly not in any kind of shape to be playing those anymore. But I can still walk 18 holes or drag a deer 500 yards out of the woods.
