[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 626543, member: 2426"] Then why is the article titled "Report: America Has a Social Credit System Much Like China’s"? Why is an article about giving rewards to students who stay for the entire game titled "Alabama is tracking students' locations to penalize them for leaving football games early"? Both are examples of misleading journalism. The article that this thread is based on uses the general feeling that Saban is evil to insinuate that Alabama is doing something evil. The article simply says that students get extra points toward qualifying for post season tickets if they stay until the end of the game. There isn't anything in the article that even reads like a "penalty". The only discussion of "penalty" in the article is in the headline. FWIW, I don't care much for Saban, but that doesn't mean that everything Alabama does is evil. I had actually suggested that GT give prizes to students at the games. However, my suggestion had conditions on the prizes. Students would have to enter the stadium 20 minutes before the game to be entered and would have to be in the stadium after the game to be selected. That is no different than what Alabama is doing and it doesn't "punish" anyone, it would only reward people who show up early and stay the entire game. [/QUOTE]
