"CNN Inside Man with Morgan Spurlock is airing a show about Hargrave Military Academy PG Basketball. UT's freshman Jabari McGhee will be featured. Airs June 8, Sunday at 10pm."

Hmmm. CNN. Any idea what this focuses on? Could it be an "expose" of basketball factory schools?

 

[jbuchanan]

"Morgan Spurlock practices (with padding) with the football team at Ole Miss - one of the biggest football programs in the U.S.

Morgan TACKLES the subject of college sports by embedding himself in some of the top programs in the U.S. to see firsthand what it takes to be a top-level college athlete, what kind of education these kids are actually getting, and what life is like under the watchful eye of the NCAA.

Schools are making millions off the backs of these kids –- should the athletes themselves be able to share in the profits?

Watch the SEASON TWO FINALE of "Morgan Spurlock Inside Man" Sunday at 10pm ET/PT. Only on CNN."

Liberal media trying to create another class of victims. Maybe we should all declare to be victims and then nobody would have to buy tickets, pay student activity fees, pay tuition, pay for parking at games. What a wonderful little paradise we would be.

I'm going to guess Spurlock doesn't keep up with much college football if he thinks Ole Miss is one of the "biggest football programs in the U.S."

 

[Smokeyman]

Yes, it's on a news channel that doesn't share the same confirmation bias or worldview that I have.

Therefore, it is nothing but lies, and could never hope to have any purpose or meaning for anyone.

I am a knee jerk response and take my ADD, shallow, face value perceived worldview with a grain of salt please.

The world is only black and white, wrong and right, good and bad.

There is no gray…

That or it's probably the biggest program that let him have access.

I don't believe anything the Communist News Network reports...

 

[k-town_king]

Oh my god. Why can't we have a thread without someone making a D.A. political statement?

 

[SeniorDrill]

It's called extremism. Back to the OP.

Morgan Spurlock can go eat some F'n McDonald's everyday all day for a month straight and act shocked he got fat......

Hello Rush ! :wavey:

 

[JackHVFL]

The HS athletes get more exposure from D1 schools, where they have a chance to earn a scholarship... they are not victims...

That was a social experiment , frequent consumption of fast foods leads to an early death. Rapid weight is an early warning signal. So sayeth the food nazis.

 

[SeniorDrill]

In the meantime, the show featuring Jabari airs in 30 minutes!

Somebody else did the same thing and lost weight. I thought that was funny.

All American news is a joke.

Fear not. I'm certain that it will be a completely unbiased and utterly a agenda-less production designated as nothing more than reporting on the absolute facts. It's CNN of course.

They're not being paid for free education, meal plans, clothing, training, housing and other benefits calculated well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. They're victims.
