I guess the same thing that makes it your job to judge other people's jokes and censure them for making posts you don't like on the Internet.
If it weren’t for celebrating the accomplishments of complete strangers this site wouldn’t exist

I wonder if people feel it’s ok to criticize this or do we just “celebrate accomplishments” here?

Amazing.

A thread with a joke from Locke and a couple people taking a Locke joke way too seriously and this is still the cringiest thing in the entire thread.

I love this place.

Hopefully you have a backup career in “General Studies” stuff if the comedian thing doesn’t pan out.

Some people are way to sensitive to internet.

I guess we know who the general studies majors are.

Good for Jack to get this done.

The fact that him and Erik Johnson are in their mid thirties makes me feel old.

The jabs on general studies were funny. But the one that ragged on the guy for taking 18 years and belittling what it means is just rude man.

Yeesh hypersensitive much? I thought it was funny.

The fact JJ even poked fun at it shows that he's proud, but certainly realizes it's not exactly a degree many would invest the dollars or time into. It's awesome that he cared enough to see it through when there really isn't much incentive or need for him to do so. Most players would leave that in the rearview mirror and move on.

I gotta admit I skimmed it and then wondered - oh what degree did he get? Then I looked and went "oh, OK".
