J.Winston - A.Callaway A cautionary tale


Sharkbait

Recommended Posts

I was reading a little bit on the Antonio Callaway story and it really got me thinking.  I'm not wanting to argue the case one way or another here that's not what this is all about.  I just want to encourage everyone to talk to any young men you may have influence over.  We need to remind these young men to be respectful of women and to treat women the way they would want someone to treat their mother or sister. We also need to help these young men realize that they need to respect themselves and have to look out for their own best interest.  They are under a microscope and everything they do is magnified.  There are people pulling them all directions putting all kinds of temptations in front of them and these young men have to make decisions that can affect the rest of their lives.  They encounter so many people trying to get a payday out of them and most don't know how to handle it.  Being in the company of the wrong people leads to so many problems.  We have all made mistakes and all young people will make mistakes hopefully ones they can recover from.  Please take every opportunity you have to mentor young men to help them achieve all the greatness they are capable of and avoid the snares and pitfalls that lie in their paths.

    • I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip 
    • Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off
    • Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element.    There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it.    Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired.    They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it.    The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school.    I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on? 
    • Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.
    • They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.
