Comment Sweeping Generalization (Score 1) 495
This is just another case of a journalist making sweeping generalizations in order to get people to read an article. It's obviously not true: I'm both a nerd (CompSci grad student) AND an athlete (competitive swimmer for my school's varsity team). On my swim team there are several others I'd call geeks/nerds. In my lab there are several others I consider athletes. Case in point.
