Bob Smith, who presides over the Allentown School Board, has announced a "special" meeting on Tuesday to untable the resolution that will name the Allentown Stadium field after Andre Reed. I am informed that the J. Birney Crum stadium will retain its name.
Reed, a NFL Hall of Famer, apparently said naughty words. Some people in Allentown thinks the notion of honoring a man who says naughty words is ridiculous because no one ever does anything wrong there.
Hey, if naughty words are good enough for the Pa. Supreme Court, they're good enough for Allentown.

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.
Mr. Smith should take a walk down the hallway at Dieruff or Allen. He will hear much worse than what Andre said. Most students at these fine institutions use the bomb as punctuation for their eloquent discourse.
ReplyDeleteMr. Reed was intelligent to leave Allentown years ago and for good reason
ReplyDeletethey were not changing the stadium name , just naming the field @ J Bernie Crumm to Reed field.+
