So tiring.  What a stupid society we live in.  Different rules for different people.

I'll probably be long dead or close to it when sanity starts to take over.  That's just a fact.

What I do have a problem with, is the world today and the HUGE issues that happen everyday and why our world is terrible and just a disaster getting worse everyday and every year.

My main point is, had the situation been reversed with a white person answering the question that way, like I said even with just a "F Him"....

Not one person can honestly deny this story wouldnt be all over the news, papers, shows, social media with everyone talking how racist that player was, school was and etc....

Thats the real problem here and in the world today.  Its amazing how different things are played out with different races



Didn't this kind of happen a few weeks ago with the White college baseball player that called Monae Davis or however you spell her name a person on twitter?  It was a story for about 5 minutes on ESPN and he apologized and it was over.  I don't think Al Shaprton or anyone else in the Black community made a fuss over it.  It made news much like this Harrison story for a short minute and it was over.  Davis accepted the apology graciously and even said the kid should be placed back on his baseball team and it ended.  Sometimes I think people look for the reverse racism argument when it doesn't exist.

Pretty sure the kid was kicked off the team and maybe out of the school?  Dont know the exact details, but almost positive he was atleast kicked off the team...

Of course she accpeted the apology, just like Frank did.  What else could they do? 

Especially, Frank with the biggest game in school history tomorrow night...he or Wisconsin would not make it a big deal.

Yes he was kicked off of the team, but may also be because he called a 13 year old girl (a minor) a person publicly, which is an extremely bad look.  Same action probably would have been taken if it was a black baseball player.  Should Kentucky kick Harrison off the team?  What good would that do considering the kid is about to declare for the draft in a week?  Kind of pointless for similar action.  My point is the media did not have a fuss about the White baseball player, it was a story for about 5 minutes.  I bet you couldn't even name the baseball player's name without looking it up or the school he played for.

Wonder if Kaminsky or dekker or Koenig or hayes or gasser get caught saying something they "didn't mean" or just "meant in jest" after this tough loss... 

Oh wait, no they have class.. Like Duke... 

Calipari is a chump. Anyone who excuses him for his players not
Shaking hands is equally a chump... Coach K or Bo would not let that Happen. They would drag their guys by their ears back out to the floor. 

Great game with two classy teams!
