    Default coaches for character

    https://www.greenvilleonline.com/sto...er/6866141002/

    son2 sent me this. He thinks the world of those guys. I hope and pray they are the type of PERSON you would want your son to surround himself with.
    I'm sure ecu will find fault but in this crazy ass world, its nice to see these young men with their heads on straight. Good for those three to take time out to be a part of this program. It might matter to some kid out there looking for inspiration.

    The end.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Doc,

    Their heads are on straight? Absolutely laughable. Their heads have Jacob Blake as another Emmett Till; he wasn't even George Floyd.

    They could not have their heads more full of muddled muck if they dove face first out of the jon boat at the dock.

    The real end.

    Interesting quote from Lawrence about his parents. Good for him.

    whoda thunk it? Air raid for the win!

    I dont begrudge a man for his beliefs. I am just glad that these three college football players have some basic values that I, indeed, agree with.

    Go ahead. Fire away, peanut gallery.

    I pray my children would never match in support of a terrorist group or look up to anyone that has.

    I find all you hypocrites rather amusing.

    I pray my kids have compassion for their fellow man, add to society via their chosen field, love their spouses and children, and carry themselves like trevor lawrence when interviewed by ESPN.

    Hypocrisy is easy to spot especially with man in mirror. There is really no great insight to it.

    listen. I get what yall are saying. I really do. I just think its funny bc you dont support a college athlete who stands with his teammates. When, I'm quite certain, you support someone else who has similar history with the most recent riots.

    Here we have three young men who could give two shits what scducks thinks about them...as they go on camera to try to influence another young man.

    I just have a hard time throwing stones here.

    It's okay, 2fer.

    I'm proud that they're on my team.

    They seem to be good boys, from what I can tell.

    It’s not a Monday, so I guess we can agree to agree 2th. I’m with ya here.
    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    thanks jj. its humpday.

    I am all for personal choice. It doesnt mean I wont comment on choices that affect me.

    A college football player standing beside a teammate during a BLM march is not something that offends or affects me.
    begrudge this.

    I agree with the focus on them trying to be stand up kids doing stand up things w their influence. I chalk it up to they werent intelligent or mature enough to think through all of the fundamental premises. hell most adults aren't. On the level they understood it, they were standing w teammates against racism. and its hard at any age to stand alone against the woke mob. however, pointing out that standing up for Blake is flat wrong isn't hypocritical. we just tend to expect too much of 20 year olds bc they throw a football.

    And I get the honorable mention?
    Nice, anyone that knows me, knows I am all about helping folks that need things.
    Now with that said, I hope their "powerful messages and words" really change some lives for the better.
    Hopefully they can really change some lives with their soon to be million$ rather than a Zoooom message?
    But then again, I don't worship athletes on any level and i don't encourage my children to either.
    Again, if it/they can help one person, then God bless them

    It's amazing the kind of extra activities you can get these college athletes to do when you hand them a stuffed envelope.
