    I'd imagine that Jocks that aren't involved in traditional team sports are generally pretty cool. Body builders, wrestlers, track and field, maybe like tennis and stuff too. I had a friend on the baseball team in college and he said that the icebreaker for freshman introducing themselves to the upper classmen was, whats your favorite pornstar. Genuinely a ton of just weird conservative dudes in most of the team sports. There were some cool football players though. I knew the star RB from middle school. He got expelled for beating up a kid everyone hated. Super sweet guy.

      nah wrestling culture is terrible, and tennis is full of of rich kids.

      sports culture in america is horrible and it's gutting to see people say jocks are good after what i went through.

        Huh, given the thread i was just trying to be charitable, since i dont have experience with athletes that arent team sports people.

        My experience has always matched yours. Jocks treated me like shit. I got bullied on my baseball teams and always felt uncomfy around athletes.

        Yeah it's weird, all the "jocks" I know are borderline (or open!) fascists while the "nerds" tend to be lib at worst.
