But you'd know this since you're so intellectual though I'm sure.
Athletes attain great health/fitness levels, name recognition, and lets not forget, money. Ask 100 people on the street if they know David Beckham, then ask if they know Bertrand Russel. Survey says...

That last point is the very source of the distress I mentioned. :P
It's not really being 'a hater', it is the truth... Have you ever heard either of those attempt to string a sentence together? One might as well look up to a thoroughbred horse for life guidance.
Our society idolises fools and abhors thinkers.
