I absolutely agree with the tenor of this post and specifically the words "THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT." Its you all that assume and misinterpret many of my posts. For example:It is weak. The hypocrisy is the point. If you blame Moore and Massillon then you must blame Hertler and Hoover for Howard.
So unless you fault every coach and school (or none) for every player for any reason then you are a hypocrite like he is. Make sense?
Btw one them Morgan Williams went on to have a decent career at Toledo, credit to him. Not a "failure" or "tragedy" or "crying shame". So hold off on the obituary not every kid, family, circumstances, or paths are the same.
I have already stated that BOTH schools failed him if in fact McK failed to supply him with adequate instruction. For Massillon to accept him in, keep him eligible but not equip him for his future is doubly egregious.
The Erick H comparison is fine if indeed it ends with his HS experience as you have stated. Only the truly ignorant would bring up his name for other reasons.
And yes it is equally fraudulent, irresponsible and unethical for any school to do what it appears Massillon did.
Also, I have never once made a single statement about his future. I have focused on what did and did not occur at Massillon. And I have never once wished any ill will upon him. I hold the adults primarily responsible, the adults who are there to provide meaningful and practical direction. I hope corrective measures have been taken so it doesn't occur again.
I didn't know it was essential to bring up every instance of past wrongdoing to discuss a current event. The Jamir disgrace is current and thus a topic. Sadly he is not the first, and will not be the last. And that should be troubling to all of us no matter what school we support. It is indeed a failure, tragedy and a crying shame.
