Talk:Jock (subculture)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Stupid
This article is inane for the most part. It does a reasonable job of presenting the jock stereotype but the last two sentences seem like nothing more than the repressed anguish of some poor abused student, and should be removed.—This unsigned comment was added by 18.248.7.186 (talk • contribs) .
- I agree. The last two sentences are not clearly written, confusing, and seeminly pointless in their current form. They should be either removed or reworded for greater clarity.
The arousal inspired by jock's athletic bodies, coupled with the fear they inspire through bullying, has made the stereotype a classic icon in erotica, and in marketing such as that used by Abercrombie and Fitch.
This sentence is vague.
I agree with the above comments. It seems as if the article were written by victims of jock abuse. Overall, the article is boring. Rintrah 15:19, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I wonder if the origin of the word comes from the Italian giacatore -- pronounced jock-a-tor-ay.
For instance, former teammates in the NFL told Esera Tuaolo they would injure him if they found out that he had a male companion. - Ummm yeah. I am a male who has had many male companions but am not gay. I think what is meant is lover, boyfriend, or sexual partner. The number of female companions I have had would make me almost as promiscuous as Casanova, if there is no distinction between a euphemism and an actual denotation.
