Theres no doubt about it: Americans love sports.
Yet, Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are here to remind us, albeit with a lot of laughing, just how much that love of sports can distract us from more important things.
In a segment of their show, "Key & Peele," the two comedians break down what an episode of ESPN's "SportsCenter" would look like if it was focused on education.
They banter about the teachers different schools are trading, the tactics different teachers are using to engage students and how they are raising test scores.
The clip does a fine job of highlighting the inequality between teachers who are major players in raising the next generation, and athletes who play sports on a semi-regular basis, Aisha Harris wrote for Slate.
Unsurprisingly, its a biting critique that says a lot about the economic and symbolic power we assign to an industry in which men are considered exceptional for throwing a ball, Harris wrote. But the best part of TeachersCenter might just be the incredible ads dropped in throughout being a teacher has never looked so sexy.
