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.
So we’re supposed to vote for him not on his merits or the merits of others but just because you want us to stuff the ballot box? These athlete of the week promotions are stupid and just a way for parents (and grandparents) to brag to others that their child was nominated. What about a student of the week or a band performer of the week, cheerleader of the week? I for one will not be voting for him not because he doesn’t deserve it but because I don’t think it’s necessary. People who play sports are over glamorized enough so as it is.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Dat and grandpa too!
ReplyDeleteI am all in and will tell my other sports fans to vote for him also.
ReplyDeleteDat is not only a very good basketball player, but an OUTSTANDING young man also
GO CCHS.
9:20, Agreed that this is a chance for parents and grandparents to brag on their children. I plead guilty. I would love to see these children honored for everything they do, be it sports or some other activity. I can tell you that my grandson will spend hours in the gym, alone, just working on his shooting. He is very dedicated, as are the other athletes. That is what is being honored. SI does have a cheerleader of the week,and I'sd like to see that in local papers, along with dance teams and bands.

ReplyDeleteGet a life.
Why shouldn't/wouldn't a grandfather want to support his grandson?!?!
Congrats to this kid. Hard work pays off.
Why is your grandson half black and half Chinese? Is he adopted
