Today, I overheard my dad telling his work buddy that he's disappointed in his kid. I assumed he meant my brother, for flunking out of school. He meant me, for quitting sports to focus on my studies. FML

My dad got mad at me for playing football. He said it would distract my studies smh. OP should figure out how to balance both sports are real fun and well your studies is your life.

It really isn't that hard to balance sports and studies, in my household it is expected. Either get into sports, get a job, or get out. Simple as that, kids have it way to damn easy these days and it's getting the Into trouble.

Most kids who do sports happen to be also relatively smart, they have to be if they want to play. Just FYI

You tutor them because they're stupid and they just happen to be in sports. Everyone I know including myself loves sports, but happen to get the best grades compared to those who do nothing and suck

1- So you prefer being stupid, flunking out of school, and working at McDonalds for the rest of your life but looking good over getting a good job, attracting all the ladies (we like smart, successful guys) and being able to afford your own house? Think about it that way.
