High-Fallutin Ivy Leaguers

Those hoity-toity Ivy Leaguers are at it again. Now it's the president of Harvard criticizing the game of football in this aptly named article: Harvard's President Denounces Football. That's as unAmerican as denouncing pizza or voting or enormous SUVs! You're not surprised at this denunciation, are you? Those smarty-pants East Coast types think they know everything. I wonder what Harvard's record was last year. Probably if they'd gone to a bowl game, the Prez would be whistling a different tune. But here's the rub. The Harvard President is Charles Norton Eliot, and he made his comments in 1908.
