For Now, It's Still a Crummy Stadium

Fellow Hall of Famer Dennis Pearson, reports in from Allentown School District with this news:

"The Allentown School District has tabled a motion to rename Bernie Crum Stadium for Andre Reed ... The reason --- School Director Martinez says that Andre Reed got in an argument on Facebook and used vulgar language ... The motion will be tabled until the truth is found .... The Tabling means that there will be no renaming of the field on Nov.1 st the Allen-Dieruff game."

Not long after receiving Dennis' email, I saw this story in The Express Times.

Actually, it's the nicest stadium in the Lehigh Valley.

  1. The " field" should not be named after Mr Reed. I look at his accomplishments on this field ..............nothing to write about!!!! if the ASD wants to recognize someone from DIERUFF it should be Bruce Trotter and man who accomplished GREAT things on this field as a player and coach

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
