...unofficial but intense favoritism of high profile male athletic teams fosters an atmosphere of power of and catering to the athletes. Athletes, especially well-known males, receive more publicity, more media attention, more popularity, and more respect than their female or lower-power counterparts, even though many prove themselves consistently unable to measure up in an academic setting.

...depression, but lots of people do. She's not mentally ill. Neither is my oldest son, Abd Samad, though he is also an Islamist radical: a Habishite, who hates the Wahabists like Zacarias, and consider them traitors and rivals.
