"Whitehorn has been a three-year starter for the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team"

chat, is this true?

Shows how slow the US Sports news is during the summer for them to be reporting on off-season collegiate WBB in the UK.

Well, you have to admit, the other trending women’s sport story is rather distasteful.

If I am reading correctly, how could the police not arrest the other party if she in fact took Ruby’s property and went into her residence? It SEEMS that is an agreed upon fact set.

Another world class better wait for a more complete fact set before putting one’s own rational thought processes and integrity on the line situation. Some have seriously put their’s on that line. Can’t put those bullets back in the gun either.

The admin and police will do their due diligence to prove or disprove the allegations. Before the self-righteous get all up in arms about what should be done, keep in mind the young don't always make the decisions we think they should. Unless someone witnessed the event......

Arrested does not equal wrong or guilty. Let the facts play out before any of us rush to judgement.

I used to work with a sales manager who mediated a barroom contretemps with the following sage words. “There are two sides to every argument, and then… there’s the truth.”

As I don't yet know the details of either side, much less the truth, I will limit my thoughts to kind wishes for both the young ladies involved.

Nah. If this is a one-off event, it will be forgotten pretty quickly. College football is ramping up and this story will fall out of the news cycle very fast.

I would bet this case gets settled without going to court, where Ruby pleads to a lesser charge, does community service and takes an anger management course and probably gets suspended for a few early season games. Not ideal by any stretch but let's not make more of this situation than it really is.

You disagreed and then basically described what a black eye is. Normally a one off event and heals fairly quick.

As a figure of speech, saying that an institution gets a black eye from some controversial event, does not mean a passing, trivial event.

From the Collin's dictionary-- "Additionally, "black eye" can be used figuratively to represent a mark of shame, dishonor, or a damaging setback."

I stand by my assertion that this event will not be a mark of shame, dishonor, or a damaging setback to the Lady Vol program. If you don't understand the conventional meaning of the phrases you post, well, that is not my problem.

If you know the Daily Mail, you would know why they would feature a story about a black lesbian being arrested for a violent crime. Certain ideological agendas are not limited by geography or their audiences' interest in the scandalized athlete's sport per se.

If you are talking about the physical injury, you are correct. If, however, the black eye is a figurative use of the term, the effects are lasting. Reputation, especially ill-repute, is long lasting.


black eye(n.)​

"discoloration around the eye from injury" c. 1600, from black (adj.) + eye (n.). The figurative sense of "injury to pride, rebuff" is by 1744; that of "bad reputation" is from 1880s.

Yeah, I'm well aware. The allegory was intentional and still stands.

Agreed. I keep mine at home in a safe place. Only if her phone had a special case. May be a status thingie to have one among today’s yoots.

Could be a passport card….my son takes his in his phone wallet because no one believes his drivers license picture is real so he takes it with him for Bar purposes….

When I turned 21 and well into my 20s, I looked like a teenager and back then, TN, to save $, did not seal the tops of the driver license (has that changed?). So, when out of state, everyone assumed I was carrying a fake ID.

No, I didn't miss that part at all.

But confronting someone at their car and running off with their phone and ID do NOT give someone the right to go the route Ruby was charged with.

Sorry, but if she a tually did what she was accused of she went way too far.

The victim provoked a response, but the response was way too strong. And it could cost Ruby dearly. I love Ruby and I hope she won't have to do time in jail. But dang. 😪

if I do something similar and you do not have all the facts and make similar judgements about what really happened ,I am glad that you would not be part of my Jury at the trial

To continue with Ruby there was no burglary as I can determine from what has been reported by press and others. Not a burglary to take back your own stuff. Second I can't see how assault will stick since the other person was also assaulting Ruby. Finally seems to be quite clear that damage was done to a residence by Ruby and she will have to pay for that damage. I think all the charges stem down that she entered a residence of the person and so the cops are more apt to take the testimony of the resident.

I am hoping they will hit Ruby with payment for damages to a residence and nothing else. From here on in hope she will be smarter in her actions.

FYI: Burglary is illegal entry without permission by definition

True but will they really try to make that stick when you have the other person stealing. Stealing was the cause of illegal entry still I guess you never know how it will go.
