Oh no...I hope our Horston doesn't get into anymore trouble. This is the kind of thing that could get a kid kicked off the team. Also interesting to find out that's the reason she sat out one of the European Tour games.
Remember Pat, Duke student section, and the Walmart bags? Don’t remember the student (yes, I actually do and PLEASE don’t help me by posting her name here), but I certainly remember how totally classless the Duke students were (and doing this is relatively common among teenagers, not right, but their brains don’t always “function”). Pat was beyond furious. She threatened to never play Duke again, very bad look for Duke as a university. I believe they apologized and promised something like that would never be allowed to continue (condoned) again on the university grounds. Someone who is positive of the facts, correct me if I’m wrong on any of this. Bottom line......there is a good chance every team in the nation has a kid who has done this, most aren’t caught (only do it one time usually), and the ones who are caught it is sort of “buried”...no reason to mess a kid up when usually there is no way they will repeat it, especially after being caught! There’s a big difference between one occasion of stupidity and a continuous pattern of behavior. Jmo GBO!
And
A student athlete answers to the university, and she has. A tv station publishing her name and picture, unless they do that to EVERY kid in the same situation (their sons and daughters especially) , is just WRONG.
And
OK, people. I just called wate “news on your side“ and left a message about a concern. A local tv station has reported and posted a picture of a young person (maybe 18 year old) over a shoplifting incident. This has already been handled, and if the person has no more issues for 11 months and 29 days, it is to be expunged. How can it truly be “expunged “ when her name and face are being plastered all over by a tv station? Shoplifting happens among teen agers (usually a one time thing), so why hold one particular teen ager up to public humiliation and not all? This is not news. This is disgusting! I think Don Dare should do a report abut this tv station and requested that be done. I wish people would inundate the station’s call line and hold them to task. Maybe they should research, find all the children of wate employees who have done this - and been caught, and print those stories AND THE PICTURES of the kids. I think it is the picture that really lit me...that was so unnecessary.
tv phone number: 865-637-6666 I think ext. 5 for concerns
Flame away if you are a hater. I’m not changing my opinion.
OR, BETTER YET, MODS JUST DELETE ALL POSTS REFERRING TO THIS TOPIC.
