@WashedOutGundamPilot >all while maintaining the GPA required for varsity
Is this supposed to be considered a major hurdle? I recall all you need is a C average, which is easy to do. It's high school, it's not that hard.
But yes, those who are in varsity sports do have to work hard to get on the team. Sure, genetics helps, but it only gets you so far when your competition also has genetics helping them too. So coasting on genetics is not an option.
@WashedOutGundamPilot Fair enough. I just remember my high school days, and it was most certainly not difficult to pass/qualify for varsity sports. Perhaps it was just easy for me. But it still is not that significant.
@houseoftolstoy Whites of good stock w/ a good family, in the standard classes? Not a feat. (Slightly time consuming for those in better districts, because schools integrate college credits or do 1010-1110 level courses so you can have a full course load w/ ~5-12 credits of collegiate coursework blended in)
Broken home? Video game addiction eating up 100+ hours a week? Weed addiction? Single parent? Low IQ? Tougher. For the 4chan crowd, I could see why they build it up into a mountain
