I dislike angles, but the beer part we can agree uponJeremy wrote:No you're wrong. It's a Christian American conspiracy to take over the world and kill all Muslims because they're racist and have links to net footbag and Steve Blough. They should learn to play touch football and run angles better. Touch football is all about angles. Also I like beer.Nagasake wrote:Come on, Jeremy. Possibly??

Man, Matt Kain is my hero. He doesn't post often, but when he does, it's always worth reading. Check out this post from the "drop out of school for footbag" thread
mattkain wrote:DROP OUT OF SCHOOL. There is virtually no way that you will ever become a professional footbag celebrity if you toil away in the dungeon of public education. A career in footbag requires incredible dedication, countless hours of training, and tremendous sacrifice. It does NOT require a college degree or a High School education. School will only hold you back. Do you really think that memorizing the capital of Mongolia or having a thorough understanding of 19th century agrarian economics will help you bust nemesis? No way! Every hour that you waste in school is an hour that you could have spent playing footbag.
History only proves my point. Many of the most celebrated footbag athletes dropped out of school. TJ Kleeburger, Nipsey Freshwater, Clyde "Dom Dom" Tobias, Noodles Dombrowski, Jeremy O'Wheel, Joe "The Sack" Coconauer - ALL in the Footbag Hall of Fame, ALL quit school. Do you think Vasek is the Big Cheese of footbag because he spent all his time listening to some teacher drone on about atmospheric pressure or class conflict in the writings of Tolstoy (mister boring himself)? No way! He's the best because he quit school when he was 11 so he could practice footbag (seriously, I'm totally friends with him and he told me so).
I was just reading on ESPN.com that 72% of Major League baseball players dropped out of High School. Do you know what the average professional baseball player's salary is? Try 2.3 million bucks! Ask your English teacher how much she makes. While you're at it, ask her if she stayed in school. I think we know the answer. Professional athletes quit school and get rich. English teachers stay in school and live off of welfare and eat baked beans out of tin cans. Which do you want to be?
My only advice is this: if you want to get serious about footbag, then you better get serious about quitting school.

I agree. That would make a lot of this easier to read.Chema wrote:Maybe it would help if you (everyone) posted a link to the page along with their quote so we could understand their meaning better![]()
