That's uncalled for. The woman made some stupid comments but you don't harass her to the point she disconnects her landline.
Maybe she disconnected it because it's 2017 and it's a landline?That's uncalled for. The woman made some stupid comments but you don't harass her to the point she disconnects her landline.
Ha, but no I think it was because people with the persistence of Palatine were calling her 24/7.Maybe she disconnected it because it's 2017 and it's a landline?
This is the most appropriate way to say it.Not at all surprising

Yes, this take is probably the correct one.This was a clear case of "don't blame the player, blame the system."
I agree with the article's author. FTA:
Melo clearly wasn’t adequately prepared for college-level work in a second language, but because he was a basketball phenom, Syracuse did what it could to keep him on the court. That anyone, let alone a message-board user who appears to be a Syracuse trustee, would blame the vacated wins on the 21-year-old trying to play basketball in a foreign country and not Boeheim, Syracuse, the NCAA, anybody else involved in profiting from his labor, or the concept of amateurism—and do so as a reaction to his death—tells all you need to know about big-time college athletics.
Glad to see this handle re-surface. I hope you've been doing alright.
I thought Syracuse fans handled the news with a lot of class, generally speaking. That 2012 squad was the best Syracuse team I've ever seen. They lost one game all year with Melo eligible.

Jimmy cheat on his wife? Of course he did. He just cheats.
