Ya know, with Bret Michaels out of the hospital, water receding in Nashville, and Jimmy Hoffa being found in the oil spill...there isn't too much to discuss on GC.
I guess I'm glad that the UVA lacrosse teams decided to honor this young lady by finishing their winning seasons. Well, that was their press statement.
There's irony in that because didn't the Duke lacrosse team...I kid! I kid.

Somethings just seem a little crass.

Should they have ended their season?

This is the kind of decision that it is impossible to make the right one. People would complain if they ended the season, and people would complain if they didn't.

I agree. Continuing their season is hardly business as usual.

No, and I doubt they seriously considered it either. I find it crass when a big sports program acts like they continue on BECAUSE they are honoring a deceased member. The seasons always continue. Find another way of honoring the member. Dedicate the season to her, but don't pretend like you were going to cancel the rest of the season. Maybe I'm just jaded, but it comes across as too self-serving to me.

Maybe retire her number or have a scholarship in her name. That would be longer lasting and quite meaningful.
