Every episode he goes in on something fukked up in society. I never found his stand-up that funny but his show is hilarious and incredibly informative.

The video game segment took this to another level

Great Work

@ The animations at the end of the video

John Oliver is that dude. Comedy Central needs to throw the bank at him to get him back to replace Jon Stewart.

Damn, College football stadiums are actually bigger than some NFL stadiums?

In any other country the NCAA is disbanded, Mark Emmert and all those cronies are charged with grand larceny and fraud.

Student athletes

Yep people get spoon feed something all there lives and are unable to think outside the box sometimes people think im crazy but I tell people in my life stuff like this all the time it makes perfect sense if you aren't brainwashed.

damn they dont even have to pay them millions either. im sure every student athlete would be happy with a $1500 a month allowance or something. if they had done that since the beginning they wouldnt even have problems. so evil.

Dude is usually on point but was on another level with this rant. The NCAA's so scared that of paying football and basketball players cause they know the other "student-athletes" will be asking next.

The only thing that sucks about this... is this whole site is about to be parroting his arguments word for word, and pretending they didn't watch this clip.

indeed..

forcing athletes to be students, is like forcing some frail nerd to participate in football alongside of all his studies. Athletes get accepted to colleges because they are excellent in sports, just like a student excels in academics.

Both tasks require a lot of work. I dont think athletes get too much respect for the amount of work and training it takes to try to be top level, because of the whole dumb jock thing, and nerds being jealous. The free education thing is a nice perk, athletes need to take advantage of that, but you dont have the time for like a stem major, etc.

It's like giving that nerd free access to footballs and baseball batting cages...it's nice yet he'll rarely use it, but in order to continue on with studying, he must spend at least 2 hours in the batting cages and 1 hour running routes in full pads.

School for athletes is just like for students, it's to help them advance to the next level, and paid internships exist. The difference is that 2% going pro stat, most of these athletes are really getting screwed
