    two of the guys in the group didn't like the idea, and the reason given for it is "he's a jock and he doesn't really get it, you know?"

    i was told about this and was like

    welp

    Hahahaha people still say jock in a serious manner.

    He's in Canada.

    Oh, the land of 10 years ago.

    Although, that might be more like 15 at this point.

    An excuse to get out of P.E.? Man that was often the part of the day I looked forward to.

    I made a deal with my Sophomore-year Gym teacher that if I aced Health, I didn't need to participate in P.E.

    I think it was more I would look for any excuse to get out of doing anything.

    And that I'm a giant fucking nerd.

    For me it was that I hit my growth spurt early. So while I was a nerd, I was a 6ft nerd in the 6th grade. So it meant that for a lot of sports we played, I had either a height or size advantage. Admittedly sometimes it caused me to be a dumb ass, like the time I body checked my gym teacher while playing floor hockey.

    Yeah, I hit my growth spurt around 11 or 12, so I was 6'3" in Seventh Grade... but I also still only weighed 130lbs... so competitive outdoor activities and I stopped getting along. I suppose I could have been a runner or played volleyball, but I didn't enjoy either of those activities.

    Volleyball was fun when you're the tall kid. Spiking on all of your classmates.

    Yeah, I never got picked on or anything. I just stopped being good at sports when kids started hitting growth spurts, so I kinda just stopped participating. I played baseball and football and soccer until I was 11 or 12.

    Then when I hit about 20 I filled back out so that I could withstand a strong breeze and realized I enjoy playing sports again.
