I am so SICK of these spoiled HS and College ball players. I remember in HS I was one of the top 10 in my class and could not get a free ride to anybody's school. (I did get a partial scholarship, but I still had to take out loans to cover room, board, and books!!). Meanwhile, I had a boyfriend at the time who "rode the pine" (sitting on the bench) in football and he got a free ride to a HBCU. Today, I'll have a master's in two months while he dropped out of school and is digging ditches. Literally!
I'm not hating or anything b/c if God blessed you with the talent then you use it, but there is TOO MUCH emphasis on athleticisim in our schools today. Arts programs and after-school programs get cut everyday while football and basketball get more MORE funding and NEVER get cut.
One last thing about that LeBron kid; I read in the paper today that he declared himself eligible for the NBA Draft. I hope that he is in prayer that he gets picked up by a team b/c not only his HS career is over, his college one is over before it even started.
