I was asking about the godmother. I can’t believe she was playing and made these allegations. She still had eligibility?

Re: media matters
I wonder how one comes across a Ben Shapiro video, that twitter history and the other stuff? Algorithms not delivering that type of content to me. My search history and what I interact with must be different.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 9:10 am"Horse has been beat to death, revived, and beat to death again. We all think what we think."

No idea about her eligibility, does seem to be older and older student athletes these days, so maybe.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 9:04 amI was asking about the godmother. I can’t believe she was playing and made these allegations. She still had eligibility?
She wasn't playing but you can see plenty of her allegations in her tweets (you probably didn't read
those either) including the one above the picture of her with her goddaughter. I'd guess her to be a
setter too, just smells...oops, I mean, seems to me as if that's what she does, sets people up.
More gaslighting, diversion, and inaccurate insinuations from you TLD, but keep swinging.

Meh, from one with nearly 20K posts and the other with nearly 26K it appears to me as if you two are spooled longer and more often than I am. Jus' sayin'.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 9:10 am"Horse has been beat to death, revived, and beat to death again. We all think what we think."

Re: media matters
The gaslighting pertained to your bullschidt about what I'm being fed and why.
The allegations from the godmother are there for you to read. Apparently she
didn't need to play in or be at the game to make them.

nope, you raised this as something you were ticked off about...I hadn't heard about it at all, but used the google machine (and your links) to learn enough to begin to understand its complications.DMac wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 9:48 amMeh, from one with nearly 20K posts and the other with nearly 26K it appears to me as if you two are spooled longer and more often than I am.

My interests (and posting addiction!) are diverse and almost never inflamed.
I find fellow poster's contributions to often contain information and views, reflecting their interests, with which I am not familiar or with which I am not deeply knowledgeable. I find engaging on these topics to usually generate additional insights.
That includes yours.
When I have a strong opinion, I explain my logic and engage with the logic of others.
If I have knowledge or experiences I think are relevant, I share them.
when I do a bit of additional research on a topic raised by someone, I share it.
Example: your post about whipped cream on the regulation thread.
Your recent post reflected some misinformation (IMO), I shared what I think is corrective information that I found easily with a quick google search.

How often does that pawn see her auntie? My kids saw their godparents maybe once a year…as they got older, it was less but we have a lot of pictures from when they do get together….the facts are in. The incident was deemed to be inconclusive but that’s probably just PC….

Re: media matters
DMAC, the godmother's flaming had been covered amply earlier in the discussion.
No one argued that she wasn't flaming, seeming to exaggerate the player's experience for maximum effect.
Why the need to raise her again, right after saying "Horse has been beat to death, revived, and beat to death again. We all think what we think."
Did you really go to google to find that stuff after saying that?
Or were you fed it on a social media platform?
Re: media matters
I didn't know the racist b*itch godmother's name until I heard it yesterday on one of the Stephen A., like clips.
Misspelled (Lesa, not Lisa) and all I googled it and was able to find out a little about her which I posted here. I posted it
because while the godmother had been mentioned all along this brought to light just who and what the godmother
is.

I don't think that was taken when she just a little girl, I'd guess relatively recently.
Can't answer your question about how often she sees her.

Does that make her a race baiter and a liar, perhaps??? Or a "pawn"?
Godmother is wearing a "Let's go Duke" shirt, likely a gift sometime after her admission to Duke.

Her Uvalde shooter comment is plenty deserving of her being called a racist in my book.

Felt quite misogynistic too, going on about a black female singer, etc.
I agree that some of the media flamers went way too far as well.
No, TLD, no more than you do that she isn't.
Although I can watch the game and not see
or hear anything that she says happened, nor
can anyone else.
But don't go over board other than to condemn racist behavior more generally.
But where you lost me was in getting so wound up that you (and heck of a lot of the online comments) concluded that she is a liar...a whole bunch of that online was right away, at the outset doubting it happened...yet this crap happens with all too much frequency.
I continue to find her individually to be credible, and the incidence of misreporting these sorts of things is very low...so, my "bias" is to believe she heard what she says...who said it, or whether she could have even misheard...all possible to not have right...but not likely lying.
I've been on the opposite end of racist taunts way back when I was a youngster wrestling versus inner city Baltimore schools in the mid '70's, at the time nearly 100% black schools due to de facto segregation. The opposing wrestlers all seemed like great guys, no issues ever...but man, walking through the hallway to the gym...yikes, purposely intimidating. I didn't lose any of my matches, but it was a quite hostile environment multiple times...I wouldn't want any athlete to have to put up with such. On the other hand, I greatly appreciated the experience of the old MSA when city publics and privates competed head to head.
But I gotta tell you, it bothered me considerably more when a good friend of my dad's, an NCAA wrestler at UVA in his day, great guy (!), educator at a high level, revered by many, gave me two pieces of advice: the first was fine: when wrapping up a guy in a pinning combination, drive your head into the side of his (not a hit, just pressure into the soft spot), he'll be thinking about that pain instead of his shoulders. Second wasn't: 'when you shake hands, ask him whether his mom has any extra days'. I used the first piece of advice...never forgot the second. And this guy ran a university, later ran a high school coming out of retirement. Other than that, I never saw any evidence of racist views, but yikes.
I can't remember whether there or Walbrook or one of the other schools, but basement hallway from locker room to stairs up to gym was lined on both sides...Dunbar is a likely.
That said, it gave a bit of a flavor of what black athletes endured at times at away contests, though not at Gilman.
Always got along well with fellow athletes when we came together at tournaments, etc.

Her Uvalde- Fox News comment was made by a whole lot of people, and had a big ring of truth to it (unfortunately).
But cherry picking that comment doesn't mean she didn't care about the kids and the community, or policy issues like guns or policing, or government transparency or... she may well have made lots of other comments about the Uvalde shooting.
Your list was made by someone looking specifically for any tweets that in any way involved race. Not others, not context, not discussion.
And put in a list, it makes it look like that's all she thinks about.
That said, I'll stick with flamer...I don't think inflammatory comments are helpful, in general. My son often disagrees with me on that...thinks getting people's attention can matter even more at times. Different view.

He was a Gilman guy. I wish I could remember the wrestlers name. It will come to me. He loved telling those stories. Another Gilman buddy talks about his mom taking him to see that great Dunbar team play Calvert Hall in hoops….they were sitting in a McDonalds when someone came in and said “the game is sold out”.
