My brother was a rugby player but only other rugby players respected that.

Heh. At my high school, only other rugby players (not that we had rugby) would have known that. (Funny story: at one point the soccer coach tried to bribe her calculus students with extra credit to attend her team's home games, because it embarrassed her players that the visiting teams always had more supporters in the stands.) I am of course quite aware that whatever my tiny high school was, it was not typical. We did have a clear separate-but-equal division between the geeks and the non-geeks (with a few ambivalent individuals), but who among us had time (let alone motive) to care about or interfere with the Other Group?

I don't know whether I'm more upset by the idea that TV American High Schools do or do not resemble many American (suburban?) high schools, but either way, the setting bugs me.
