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.
"BronBron" was NEVER headed to college, despite his 3.2 GPA. Not with that parasite mother and all those other hangers-on wanting a piece of him.
