Again-again, I was taking (i.e. assuming, i.e. granting, i.e. presuming for the sake of argument) that premise to discuss something else. If you disagree with the premise, that's fine. But I'm trying, or was trying, to have a discussion, with people who also took that premise as being true, as plenty of people do except for the few contrarians on this board who begin to masturbate whenever someone says anything on here that is similar to positions that Rip or other SSC's hold, just so they can be the one to jump in and fart out of their face hole "oooooop RIP ZOMBIE. DERP."
If I take it for granted that God doesn't exist in order to have a conversation about how to ground morality without God, I don't feel the need to respond to someone who asks, "But what if God does exist?" What if that premise is false?? DERP!" My unwillingness to engage in that argument has nothing to do with my lack of evidence for that premise, but has everything to do with the fact that that's not the conversation I'm trying have. That is another paper, for another course. Fuck..guys, how is this not obvious?
More money in sports --> more incentive --> bigger talent pool --> better athletes. And drugs of course play their part, more in some sports than others.
Assuming the bigger, stronger, faster claim is true...
Personally, I agree that strength training for most D1/pro teams is pretty crap, but that doesn't mean that training on the whole is. Especially for sports where technique is much more important than strength, more effective skill development can make their strength training protocol a lot less critical.
