[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 48385, member: 198"] Yeah, I knew I would catch hell for my post, but I stand behind what I said. Please re-read my original post after this clarification and see if you still feel like laying into me. I'll try to address each comment in specific or general, depending. [B]Specific: [/B]I actually graduated with 4 F's and 3 D's on my transcript. I was off and on academic warning for two full years. So, yes, I fully understand the rigors of Tech. I also paid my own way through school, and graduated with no student loans. I cannot imagine being a student-athlete, I barely made it as a regular student. [B]General: [/B]I applaud the Days for their stance and their approach. I agree with most everything most of you have said. I have been embarrassed by things my kids have said and done, and embarrassed my parents with things I've said and done. They will never stop being his parents. They will always provide guidance and direction, regardless of how old JHD is. We should all appreciate this from our parents, and respect them for what the have to offer us. Tough love is exactly that, tough. There probably have been many things that have shaped the opinions of the Days parents. [B]I agree with everything Mr. Days said. [/B]My comment, go back and read it, was that, in my opinion, he had no right to make those judgements in a public forum. That's the extent of my disagreement. All of the things he said needed to be said, I'm sure. I just don't believe it should have been said to a reporter. This isn't said to protect Jabari, but to respect the fact that he's an adult, and his relationship with his school and coach is his business. When and if he invites his parents into that discussion, it becomes their business, but until then, their comments should remain behind closed doors. I'm on my iPad, so typing this all out is tedious, so my thoughts are synopsized. If I continue to get grief, and it warrants it, I'll elaborate later. You don't have to agree with me, it's just my opinion. But you don't have to get nasty either. (Not redirected towards anyone in particular) [/QUOTE]
