The Playbook Commentary:
No words. And, it's not that I am speechless because of the allegation, I am speechless that there haven't been more made public. It's a sad commentary on where society's priorities have come down to as well as what we are teaching the next generation of athletes and future leaders. It has not been proven one way or the other if Rose did or did not take the SATs. But, the fact that the question has been raised is enough to make one hang their head in disappointment. AND, twhat is the saddest thing is that he doesn't even realize that what was allegedly done "for his benefit" was actually anything but. He is being pimped for his athletic potential. Period.
But, again I ask..."What is your Plan B?" What happens, if God forbid, you have an injury that ends your career before it even gets started? Who is worrying about that in your circle? We need to stop looking at promising athletes as cash cows. It is not fair to them or to anyone. All good things come to an end. The question is what will their (promising athletes) end look like? Only the athlete has the real answer. I urge the athlete to ake back your power.
I truly pray that this all turns out to be something about nothing....but, as they say, where there is smoke there is normally a fire. So frustrating.
