Is the dumb jock stereotype true? Are athletes really dumb?

Some people are intelligent and some people are not that intelligent

Nba and nfl players for sure

>>74340160
Depends on the position for NFL. Most QBs are at least average IQ. Offensive line are all really smart. Defensive players and WR are usually dumb as fuck.

> being this much of a chad but you cant get a decent hair cut

>>74340160
Not at all. Most athletes at college and the HS level have better grades than normal students.

Yes that's why they need coaches

Aren't all American players forced to spend at least one whole year at a university before being eligible for the drafts of the NFL and NBA?

>>74340249
Only NBA. NFL you need 4 years of college

>>74340249
You just have to be one year removed from HS for the NBA. Two years for NFL. You dont have to go to college at all.

>>74340264
wrong. Guys leave school early all the time for the NFL

>>74340249
yeah but if they show any promise of making it at the next level they are not really expected to do anything academically

>>74340249
just take a couple wild guesses as to how their time is spent while on campus.

Well that's certainly the stereotype. The stereotype of someone who uses this website is a fat, greasy virgin who is unemployed and lives with his parents. I mean that should tell you all you need to know about stereotypes. Really makes you think.

there are plenty of athletes competing in the ivy league and plenty who are smart enough to realize they arent going to make it to the big leagues and use the scholarship to forward their lives while enjoying their sport.

>>74340340
100% true than

>>74340340
joke's on you, I'm not fat

The kids who did the niche sports were typically the most diligent students in my experience

>>74340382
ivy's don't give athletic schollies m8

NBA and NFL players are literally some of the dumbest people on earth. Just listen to guys like LeBron James, who are considered some of the smarter ones, talk about current events or social issues and they have no fucking idea what they're talking about but are just repeating something someone told them.

I'm not american but the football (soccer) team I play in is full of normies and they're all dumb as fuck.
