Re: Greg Minor

["Larry Taylor" <lataylor@eagle1.eaglenet.com>]

This is what is wrong with sports and our society in general!  The life of
an professional athelete does make a difference.  I don't want my children
growing up thinking that it is O.K. to batter abuse and abandon his
responsibilities to his family.  This is why we have Dennis Rodman still
playing.  It's always said, well that's the way he is but he's a great
rebounder!  Bull#$@!
He should't be allowed to play in the league.  Just as Minor should be held
accountable for his actions.  The Leprechaun's reputation is being
tarnished and all you care about is what he does on the court.  No wonder
the streets are unsafe, the schools are no longer teaching responsibility
and you will wonder why your kids are like they are.  GET RID OF HIM!
