Dear Wattpad authors,

Please note that not all jocks are dumb and refrain from portraying them as such in every single book.

Sincerely, a girl with really smart athletic friends.

This one bugs me, because it is viciously inaccurate.

Again, there are exceptions. Not all jocks are hyper intelligent or even remotely good at school, but not all of them are idiots either.

Just to give you an idea:
- An old Springbok rugby player was also a medical doctor
- A lot of the rugby players actually have degrees
- A few of the top performers in our last Accounting test (that was really hard) look like they live in the gym
- One of the NWU rugby players studied Forensic Accounting and did his honors degree (Forensic Accounting is the course at our university that you need the highest marks for to be able to apply to study it)
- Etc

Why do the jocks always need help with their studies and why do they hardly ever study?

In most schools you need to maintain a certain average to be able to keep your spot on the team, just so by the way.
