Perhaps Stephanie McCaffrey and others will realize you can't get away with saying irresponsible things because you were "just kidding." It doesn't matter that you were taking shots at someone who has clearly done evil things.<br /><br />The last thing a Catholic school needs to do is to take potshots at child abusers.Coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17169212809658602017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-34122231763650151972012-11-17T10:23:21.253-05:002012-11-17T10:23:21.253-05:00Too bad was not as critical of repeated stupidity ...Too bad was not as critical of repeated stupidity in both actions and words by their former AD. <br /><br />So its Bates the tough guy Players have a raw deal, as they are treated as tools of entitled management. <br /><br />Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598730608781502137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-74632062654588209092012-11-17T10:22:59.234-05:002012-11-17T10:22:59.234-05:00Too bad was not as critical of repeated stupidity ...Too bad was not as critical of repeated stupidity in both actions and words by their former AD. <br /><br />So its Bates the tough guy Players have a raw deal, as they are treated as tools of entitled management.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598730608781502137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-29322019567574517722012-11-17T07:31:13.054-05:002012-11-17T07:31:13.054-05:00Overreaction by an AD not qualified for the positi...Overreaction by an AD not qualified for the position. 8 weeks since he started and still no word on his vision for BC athletics. At most schools, he would be fired.<br /><br />He also has a bigger issue beyond spaz. Our men's basketball coach has proven to be a disaster. Probably a worse hire than spaz. Time for him to go too.

Football players are shown the door, are suspended for unexplained "team rules violations" or transfer out without a word. And, our new AD decides to make his first big public position hanging a sophomore soccer student in the court of public opinion. I hope the AD is proud of himself. Was what this student did wrong? You decide. Was what the AD did to mark this young adult publicly, bring negative attention to Boston College when it doesn't seem anyone was looking for it and show that our Christian values of forgiveness are applied differently in this circumstance wrong? I say yes. This student learned a valuable lesson, for sure. But, I think what the AD did to her in this very public condemnation is reprehensible.
