Athletes in the past were able to leave racism and other issues off the field...


Forgive me Mr. Blunt, but you obviously never played high school sports of any kind. Those issues are always on the field even if most of the team don't like it. I applaud Superintendent Gibson for making a choice that will make sure the position of the school as regards the behavior of the privileged jocks who think they are better than everyone is not to be questioned. I agree that she is probably getting inundated with hate right now, but the people who are complaining are probably the parents of the same racists teens who caused this to happen. No loss here. Just reality raining on a few BDFJ wannabes who cant wait to get to college and join the Young Rethuglicans.
