This is what\u2019s wrong with sports<\/a>: theOhio State defensive end Nick Bosa drops out of school after getting injured to \u201cprepare for the NFL draft\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the very definition of what is wrong with sports, and Nick Bosa is the very definition of a entitled dumbass who has clearly put all of his eggs into one basket; which naturally makes me disrespect his lack of intelligence and therefore makes me want to see him fail.<\/span><\/p>\n

But basically, what we have here is a story of a highly-touted star athlete with professional aspirations who got injured.\u00a0 But instead of rehabbing his injury and staying in school while doing so, he drops out, and cites that he needs to prepare for the NFL draft.<\/span><\/p>\n

I know I rag on theOhio State a lot, and I never tire of seeing them lose.\u00a0 But the fact of the matter is that famous schools are rich schools, and rich schools are often prosperous schools, even for those pleebs enrolled that aren\u2019t student athletes and play football.\u00a0 To justify their position in the collegiate world, theOhio State is still a very good school for academics, and sure it\u2019s no secret that the vast majority of football players don\u2019t actually have to learn anything and are handed phony-but-still-legitimate degrees, but that\u2019s still contingent of them sticking around long enough in order to fulfill their credit hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Bosa dropping out of school because his football season prematurely ended is basically the greatest message of how unimportant education is as long as you can play a sport.\u00a0 He pretty much had a free ride for a free degree, as long as he could throw his body against other meatheads and occasionally rush a quarterback 4-5 times a game.\u00a0 An injury wouldn\u2019t have ceased such a sweet deal, because technically Bosa was a junior, and as long as there was the thought that he could come back and keep playing, the free ride would have undoubtedly continued.\u00a0 And even if everyone already didn\u2019t know he was going to go pro after 2018, it\u2019s not like theOhio State could just pull the rug out from under him and renege on the scholarship, unless he was just straight up a criminal or something.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Instead, Bosa just drops out, doesn\u2019t finish a shallow paper degree, and puts all of his eggs into the basket that he will definitely get drafted and go pro; something that probably would\u2019ve happened even if he didn\u2019t drop out, because it doesn\u2019t take a genius to know he\u2019ll be recovered by the time the 2019 NFL season gets underway.\u00a0 As much as I\u2019d love to see NFL GMs collectively question his judgment and maturity for dropping out and collude to not draft him and let his uneducated bum ass rot in the real world, that\u2019s just not going to happen, but it would be some impactful life lessons if it did.<\/span><\/p>\n

But as much as I\u2019d love to continue calling Nick Bosa a dumbass, the thing is that such a decision was hardly solely his own.\u00a0 The Bosa family is a known family of meatheads whose patriarch is a former pro, and Nick\u2019s older brother Joey Bosa, is also in the NFL currently, also having played for theOhio State.\u00a0 Undoubtedly, the decision was a family one because frankly Nick\u2019s probably not smart enough to make adult decisions on his own, because given the fact that he wasn\u2019t going to play again at all this year, it\u2019s not like his draft stock was going to be at all hurt staying enrolled in college.\u00a0 But given all the meatheads in the Bosa clan, I guess nobody should really be surprised.<\/span><\/p>\n

They basically remind me of the family in Jerry Maguire<\/em>, that was basically manufacturing the career of the prep-QB played by Jerry O\u2019Connell.\u00a0 But instead of one kid with the golden arm, it\u2019s a family of meatheads with athletic experience.\u00a0 I almost wanted to compare the Bosas to the Mannings, but the difference is that Archie had the wherewithal to make sure that Peyton and Eli were at least somewhat educated before going pro, which is clearly something that isn\u2019t of any importance to the Bosa clan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPreparing for the NFL draft,\u201d what kind of bullshit is that?\u00a0 Just how does Nick Bosa prepare for the NFL draft that he couldn\u2019t do while still enrolled in school?\u00a0 It\u2019s not like he was even remotely required to attend classes in the first place; I\u2019m fairly certain he could\u2019ve rehabbed and prepared just fine at theOhio State\u2019s likely world-class facilities, and on the school\u2019s dime instead of the Bosa\u2019s family funds.\u00a0 Is he going to study for the Wunderlich test or something?\u00a0 Read some flash cards maybe, to recognize the difficult grown-up words that might appear on it?<\/span><\/p>\n

The point of this entire diatribe is that it disgusts me, the lack of regard for education, as hollow and fake as it probably already was for a ringer athlete, the Bosas have.\u00a0 Fewer things are as invaluable as an education, and a guy like Nick makes me sick on how he\u2019s throwing away a free one, from a reputable institution, because he\u2019s putting his ability to run into other fat men first and foremost.\u00a0 Frankly since it\u2019s inevitable that he\u2019s going to make it into the NFL, I\u2019d be pleased to see him have one of those careers where he simply can\u2019t cut it in the pros, ends up on\u00a0 the Raiders, still sucks, and then is relegated to the practice squad for the Bengals, before ending up in the CFL, sucking there too, and then retiring at 27 with a fraction of the earnings of Joey, and with no degree to tout when he\u2019s forced to eventually look for a real human job.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
