by high school, you either qualify as a jock or not. thereafter it's one of the lesser categories of social destiny, like geek or slut ... if more artists have not embraced athletic themes, that may be because so many of them in their youth felt oppressed by this socially dominant culture ... but one of the virtues of art since the '60s is that anything can be material for a work. if nothing else, the opportunity for revenge against these jocks and professional athletes and their looming shadows would seem too inviting to ignore.
