Thatās not much of an improvement in my opinion. Has he ever publicly apologized for what happened under watch? We arenāt talking petty crimes, recreational drugs, or paying recruits here. Weāre talking about a sex trafficking ring soliciting minors for sex.
I donāt give a crap about him leaving Kentucky for the Celtics or coming back to coach Louisville or flipping Rupp Arena off. Itās the world of sports and it made me spirited at the time but of course I forgave that. Flipping us the bird, who cares. Iāve flipped the bird to people before in bouts of rage that I now regret, I donāt judge him for that.
But what happened at that school was bad. Really bad. But thatās not even for me to forgive. Thatās for the underage girls forced into sex labor at the university of Louisville so they could get some good recruits. Idk man. I try really hard to judge others the same way I want God to judge me but that whole mess makes it hard for anyone involved.
I mean, even if the plausible deniability theory is true (did he ever claim that?) why would he ever feel he needed plausible deniability? Itās not like if he didnāt know they wouldnāt fire him anyway or the ncaa wouldnāt strip the wins anyway. The only thing he would need plausible deniability for was if his staff was conducting illegal activity under federal or state law. And when youāre seeking plausible deniability for federal/state law for recruiting activitiesā¦ idk man, heās too old and experienced in life to not know SOMETHING messed up was going on.
Like I said, the things that were sports and rivalry related- easy to forgive. But when you and/or the people who work for you start messing with kids like thatā¦ no. Stay away from my family and stay away from our program please and thank you.
Edit- I just realized how long this was, I am sorry about that and for all the typos that are likely in it. Iāve considered changing my username to something relating to typos because every time someone quotes I noticed at least 23 of them ā¹ļø
