[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6206983, member: 19675"] I meant emotionally. Any of the major team sports carry a risk of death. The last competitive sports I played were in HS...well, except bowling...so I clearly didn't turn pro. But many of the lessons I learned about dealing with being totally outclassed were learned on the playing field. Is it the right classeoom for that lesson for EVERY kid? No. But the lesson still needs to be learned. That decision isn't up to the attorney, it's up to the client. You may not even be allowed to withdraw- barring actually surrendering your license or something similarly drastic, the [I]judge[/I] ultimately decides whether an attorney may withdraw from a case...even above the wishes of the parties. IOW, you may, in fact, have to go to court and have your ass handed to you. And you may receive that beribboned package not due to your lack of skill, but because your client is asserting something that is simply not a winning argument. Dealing with humiliation is, IMHO, no less a necessary life lesson than learning to be able to function alongside the dominant social groups in your country's culture. In the USA, that means white people, and self-segregationists tend to have difficultly with that skill. Likewise, extending mercy rules into HS or college athletics merely produces adults unable to cope with simply being outclassed. I won't say you're wrong, but it will be hard for the administration to cut a program that was ranked in the top 100 just 2 years ago. They're more likely to try to epweather the storm- many HBCUs are struggling right now. Some of it is politics, some of it is changing demographics. And other stuff. [/QUOTE]
