Definition Proposal

The word that I'm going to be defining is the word jock. This is someone that played a sport in high school. I'm defining this word to show that the word does not mean jackass star athlete and show that there are many nice kids who were jocks. This also includes players from the common "jock" sports of football, lacrosse, and basketball. My goal is to defend people who were stereotyped as jackass jocks because of the sport they played. I also want to prove that a jock just says that you played a sport and doesn't have anything to do with them as a person. My audience is victims of athletics being an ass which would be most people who went to high school.
