The University of Miami Hurricanes Football: (Mis)Representin the 305
The strange correlation between our darlings in the Gables and the city of Miami just dawned on me. At most colleges, the football team is the on-field representation of the student body, and usually the community as a whole. Think of it as a very physical round of cultural show-and-tell.
So one would think the same would hold true of the Miami Hurricanes. One look at that team would have one believe that the University was overrun with degenerates, felons, and a very large amount of black people.
Nothing is farther from the truth. The average cost of tuition at UM is somewhere along the lines of $20K PER YEAR. What does this boil down to, then? That the team should be throwing dinner banquets rather than touchdowns. They should be running for political office instead of rushing yardage.
People with silver spoons jammed this far up their colons have no business playing anything except the sympathies of John Q. Taxpayer.
"The U" was one of the first programs to start bringing in kids from the inner cities to exclusively bolster their NCAA image and records.
A trip down to Donna Shalaland will prove that most of the kids at UM are snobby, arrogant, drunken frat-boys who got there mostly through connections rather than knowledge. This, of course, isn't true for everyone (some actually came from Miami's rougher areas and succeeded academically), but I've found that the student section of the Orange Bowl is inhabited by every bourgeoisie scum this side of the Berlin Wall.
Oh, and try finding a black guy at UM that isn't either a janitor or an athlete. The pickings will be very slim.
So, in effect, we have a group of thugs masquerading as a football team representing a school infected by every well-off kid white kid in the southeastern USA.
Hmm, and I thought this was going to be a rant as to how the team/school relationship DOESN'T mirror the social class struggles of modern-day Miami.
Life is a giant microcosm for football, I guess.
