I mean I kind of get what you're saying but you are getting it kind of wrong. I'm kind of pissed at Boeheim though. And what about the parents of these kids? Sorry but my teenager is not going to be the only ball boy going on road trips.
A real shame here is that ESPN supposedly had these tapes all this time and didn't hand it over to the authorities. That looks real bad for them especially since you wonder what abuses could have been prevented since then.
And I know you're joking about "kidrape university" but you fall into your own exaggerated stereotype by supporting that kind of stupid nonsense. Clearly this shouldn't be a reflection on the entire University.
You're right... but the mear mention you wife wondered aloud if she wants that sticker on the car means she does get it-- changes your feelings connection and emotions-- what went on was a bigger deal, and I'm sure make a supporter with a consciousness heart sink.
Coulda happened at my alma mater--- I've had the feeling "damn glad I didn't go to penn state or syracuse.. Though I know hell, those have schools themselves better rep than anywhere I ever went (school wise, and sport wise too TBH).
I'm no Penn State Alumnus, but I always pulled for them as program I rooted for (since I had no ties to any big time sport universities).. but I'm sure I'll never feel any pull to root for 'em again.
Of course it's no fault of current players....professors, janitors, fucking all the peripherial shit surrrounding either place...
I was just wondering while watching, because if I was a 'Cuse hoop nut, I just wouldn't feel so RAHRAH while this shit is still shakin' out.
