Eric
Knott pleaded guilty in June to fourth-degree criminal sexual assault,
which included a 30-day jail term, for a case involving a 13-year-old
girl. The campus newspaper ran a searing editorial on his sixth day as a student, saying it was "revolting" for the university to allow him there. And several students and faculty wrote to the campus newspaper, saying plainly his presence was unwelcome. |
[Reader comments on] -NC State's prized
footballer recruit ruled ineligible Tramain Hall, one of the gems of Chuck Amato's star-studded recruiting class, will not be eligible to play football for N.C. State. NCAA denied school's petition for a waiver of initial eligibility (These schools have no integrity. It's all about who gets the bigger gorilla to run around the field) I thought I had done everything I needed to do to pursue that dream." All-American wide receiver was excellent student, recording a 3.2 grade-point average and a solid 920 score on the SATs. He completed his high school course work in time to graduate in December. State of Florida requires all graduates to pass minimum standards tests in several subjects. Hall failed the math portion of the test when he first took it. There was no indication he'd even have a problem. But failing the math exit exam meant that Hall was technically not a high school graduate when he enrolled at N.C. State. (Again, its always something else. Maybe the schools prepared him, like many black schools do, for test taking rather then teaching fundamentals. Of course this can't be their fault, it must be something lurking behind it all. Could it be, Racism!? No worry, I'm sure some guilt ridden white prune will fork over a few grand so that this fine-intelligent African can go on to higher learner and mating a few naive white girls -lets always hope its the coaches daughter-before it all comes to a grand conclusion in some state penitentiary. Were he finds Islam and all the inequities of the White mans world that led him down the path he chose. Or rather, that was chosen for him by the White man. Pretty damn maddening, this country we have.) http://www.heraldsun.com/sports/18-132109.html |
Special Treatment Once again a professional athlete is in the news for bad behavior. In this case it is DeShawn Stevenson. I am reading in the paper and watching on TV the debate about the seriousness of his crime and whether or not he should play basketball for the Utah Jazz, and even reading articles that refer to him as a "rapist." |

BASKETBALLER Patrick Ewing testified on July 23, 2001 that he received "sexual favors" from dancers at an Atlanta strip club that federal prosecutors say was a front for the Gambino organized crime family.

Basketballer
Garnett set to enroll at NAU Stephen Garnett, the former Winslow
High basketball star, senior class president and reputed hazing ringleader,
is one step closer to playing basketball at Northern Arizona University.
Judge reduced Garnett's probation from house arrest to standard supervision.
He can reapply for the NAU basketball scholarship he lost when he and
six other students pleaded guilty last summer to various counts of aggravated
assault against fellow athletes. The victims alleged that Garnett and
the others inserted fingers and other
objects into their rectums. We don't have a policy regarding
what (a student) did before enrolling . Co-defendant,
Martin Woods, also had his intensive probation reduced, allowing
him to attend Haskell College in Kansas. [Reader comments] "Getting another Negro into despicably White-Kansas is more important then integrity of the judicial system." |

Drums: Newport Beach Law Liable To Rankle Rodman City Council Puts Noise Polluters On Notice NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. -- Ex-basketballer Dennis Rodman was nowhere to be seen as the Newport Beach City Council unanimously approved a stricter noise abatement ordinance that Rodman vehemently opposes. By a 6-0 vote, the council passed the amended ordinance into law, putting noise polluters on notice that stiffer penalties are in store for those who don't keep their boom boxes turned down. The new law proscribes "unreasonable, unnecessary, or disturbing" noise, such as "yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling, singing, or playing musical instruments" that might adversely impact neighbors. Rodman has raised the issue of excess noise to the fore of public debate in Newport Beach with his slew of citations for loud music and raucous parties. |

HOW
ABOUT THEM DUNG BEETLES? by H. MILLARD © 2000 |
Saturday
Gladiators
-- A professor looks at the effect of athletics on higher education.
(New York Times - free registration required) By MORRIS BERMAN BEER AND CIRCUS How Big-Time College Sports Is Crippling Undergraduate Education. By Murray Sperber. The title is from Juvenal: panem et circenses, bread and circuses (that is, public spectacles). Looking out over the bleak cultural landscape of Rome in the late first and early second centuries A.D., the great satirist concluded that these were the only two things that seemed to interest the majority of his countrymen. How different, Murray Sperber seems to be asking, are things for the American empire today? |

Genetics
of athletics: The controversy over race Entine, the Southern
California author of "Taboo:
Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We're Afraid To Talk About
It,"
has been widely vilified since his controversial book was published in January. Entine told me, "I'm a white liberal Jew - I've been called the 'left-wing Rush Limbaugh.' " I want to acknowledge the evolutionary advantages of blacks . . . science does support the notion that people of West African origin are best at short-distance running, people of Eastern African origin best at long-distance running, whites have superior upper body strength, Chinese have the most flexible bodies, etc. (however he inconsistantly holds PC dognma that) "Science does not support the notion that blacks are less intelligent," Entine emphasized. |
