There’s a lot here I could respond to, and I may come back with something in depth later, but for now I’ll just say: black-and-white tribalism is not a jock-specific thing. In fact, the nerd/jock distinction is probably better understood as a case of binary tribalism (and mostly on the part of people identifying as nerds) than as a personality dimension.

The are plenty of instances of black-and-white tribalism among nerds as well; just look at the editor holy wars.
