So, in case you missed Sign-gate, the Chapel Hill News has a new piece on it today talking about how the NC State Baseball player should be suspended and also State’s Baseball Coach Elliott Avent should be as well for “allowing it”:
It was simply wrong.
Shame on Avent for allowing one of his players to celebrate it, and shame on the N.C. State administration, and I mean the chancellor, for not publicly apologizing on Thursday.
For goodness sake, if the director of athletics is not going to recognize the indecency of what happened, the people who operate the university should.
Think about that one for a moment. –The Chapel Hill News
The CHN writer is quite taken by poor Tyler Hansbrough:
Henderson may not have intended to break Hansbrough’s nose last year, but he had every intention of delivering the blow. That is clear from watching the film.
It’s bad enough that some people focused on “poor Gerald Henderson and his reputation,” rather than the athlete who was injured. –The Chapel Hill News
Seriously, make sure you haven’t eaten in a while before reading, I almost lost my breakfast as the writer went on and on about what a travesty this “incident” was…
(5) Multiple athletes and representatives of the Athletics Department of one school can participate in mocking skits that perpetuate hurtful, racist and socio-economic stereotypes in a capacity-filled arena without any mention or criticism of the behavior by the media and local sports radio. The skits last as long as 5 to 10 minutes and draw raucous laughter from the ‘open-minded’ and enlightened elite that watch them.
(6) A single athlete from a different school cannot show a picture of an actual, real-world event for 15 seconds in a capacity-filled arena without being ridiculed and criticized by the same media that ignore the behaviors in point #5. –StateFansNation.com
