I had two homophobic piece of shit jocks that harassed me in highschool over 20 years ago. They were on the wrestling team so I knew I would get fucked to hell and back if I did anything physical about it. My first year at the school, too.
In later years most of the jocks I met were cool with me. One of my bullies even pretended not to recognize me later on because I think he either regretted it or it was because the friend introducing us was also on the wrestling team and was a foot taller and had 60lbs of muscle on him. Who the fuck knows.
The “jocks are bad” narrative for me was both written and unwritten by the behavior of jocks. ‘Don’t judge a jock by his jockstrap,’ I guess.
