Well DUH, sparky! Why do you think we call them "dumb jocks?"
<shrug>
It's OK that I may not have the biggest muscles on the block, but a slightly higher level of intelligence & education, instead. That means I don't have to work for the local roofing company--such as most former jocks are stuck doing.
And yes--most who fit into that category do tend to be "conservative/republicans."
I suppose you consider yourself to be among that crowd? I might question your physical "strength" these days, but certainly no question about your level of intelligence.
