sorry nabby, football is sorta like hockey in canada. but the
topic isn't about "sports", except those using it as a format to
singled out & harm others.
...fyi, sports ill. did the so called investigation, & as soon as the coach
resigned, they attacked him & the program. the ways they did it
was very intrusive and they published their rationalization- by "building"
their case ...by validating their intentions/rationalizations on a few
opinions & "resourcing " their facts on incidents that were not
related to current events. [ we see this same type of behaviors
from drug seekers trying to manipulate their "wants" instead
of their "needs". some are trying to get them so they can re-sale them.
some times it is very over the top, like demanding morphine
for a "scratch" , that they are saying is a pain level of "10". but five
minutes earlier, they were laughing or doing push ups..so forth.
and while most are not fans outside, in the real world, many "think"
these people in authority positions [ mag. writers/college officials]
are experts.
the reason this whole thing has my "attentions" has to do when i ran
my local derby race. in the beginning, i was the "whole" committee
& my task was give our community a children program that had
objectives to provided them the benefits & their families,
just by participating.
in the end, it was my success that spell doom. ( i ran it for 10 years.]
some of the things i did, every year the kids got to be on the radio
& saw how it operated. they got to participated in an official all-
american soap box derby. i design all the jersey's & caps, all
the awards , and the trophies. we had local support from major
businesses & the local paper did several stories per year.
all the trophies -from first to the end, were the same & really
,
based on what the kids told me. why? becasue the purpose wasn't
to make one child/family feel more important than another, but
to give the parents a good reason to be proud of their child. the fact is,
even if you didn't win a single "heat", you were special because you was
a part of an all-american race. [ since 1933-less than 50,000 kids have
been able to ] when we raced our boys , we didn't win in the beginning
so we when did, it was a big deal to celebrate , or have family time.we
also practiced as a family. we made tons of friends. & we made great
family memories.
when i turned over the program, some of the officials were in it
for themselves and did not recognized the big picture. they cut the costs
and made it into "us" vs. them. the other families pulled out. and that
was that.
while we were just small community event, the "value system" extend
to all organize sporting events. to see wrong doing, will harm those
that are or will be participating. i really don't see the main values
in sports being the total of points.
anytime i see some body "building an argument" on doing a history
of unrelated "facts", [ instead of letting the facts
of the case proving their "points"] , is a red flag. but the one
point that really got my attention was when they claimed "what a
hipo-c. ", taking advantage of children & their grass-cutting
money, by rewarding the ones he was interested in recruiting.
it be liked me , using all the enterance fees & just recognizing
those i liked, not the whole group. especially all he had to do was
to buy & give all the kids rewards for participating. what they
claimed makes no sense. but unless the readers "think" about it,
they will missed the "real" reality.
oh, talked about double talk , they defend themselves from anyone
questioning them , citing that only die hard fans will not "recognized"
their truths. well, that works both ways.....how about all the rest
[ all the other colleges fans ] that root againt osu? the fact that
they presented this , is another big red flag ....that they know they
are doing wrong doing.
see? it isn't about football or any type of sports directly. instead
it's about how some want to control instead of influence the
college scene. why? because, human dynamics 101, the best way
to influence others is not a negative approach, but positive.
this also hurts those supporting the age old-game between
mich. & osu esp. the mich. fans....they removed the key person
so they will never get another chance of defeating- osu @ their
best. you don't think, that my neighbor haven't been waiting
when his team up north beat the coach, that have won the last
7 games? sadly this is a story that will never have an ending.
it just liked when they forced bobby b. from fla. state, it will
take years to rebuild what was lost.
so sorry nabby, as i know sports can be so boring. however, that
isn't the message i was trying to express. what i have learn through
my career that the value of any human activity- even going to
disney, the most one can get out of it depends on "doing" it
right.
reality- so many times, we are required to help those with functioning
deficits , based on their ways of thinking. so i needed to defined
"it" in terms that they could "see" the best ways to help themselves.
reality is true, no matter the past, future or current definition.
it is always suspicious when someone try to win their argument
by saying they are "right" because the other person is "bad".
in that article they made that a point by first citing all the good things
he was , to "set" up just how 'bad" he is. and they could have
done it before he resigned but they knew they would be sued so they
waited when he couldn't defend himself. very one sided. why? this
is how they sales their opinions for $$$. sad. very sad.
lucky for sports mag., i don't own a mag, or there would be a new
story.
by the way nabby, we going to canada, & the
disney cruise .
how the kids? getting bigger? our lil'girl is almost as tall as her
daddy.,
Year can't end soon enough for me.
, moo girl.....yes i can see why. however, the things i learned 
, 
Now I don't have to cancel a cheque and find a way to see the proofs again to re order. 
I am getting my pictures!!
rotfl
, but we are ready to have a HOUSE...
