The terminology may be different but the song remains the same. He did bad things... he needs to show accountability.Jackrabit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15819146935849889760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975224.post-6856647788980214982007-10-04T23:31:00.000-05:002007-10-04T23:31:00.000-05:00See, that's the nice thing about this blog, I CAN ...See, that's the nice thing about this blog, I CAN comment. And I can speak as a former teacher and coach that this kid and his family are putting sports above all else.<BR/><BR/>And if you do not go to school for over a semester, sorry, it's called "dropping out". Get a clue.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, I know of many good kids who play by the rules, keep their noses clean, and struggle mightily to be eligble to compete in athletics. I've seen and I've had to tell many good kids they couldn't participate because their grades weren't up to snuff.<BR/><BR/>Now we fast forward to this person who was charged with a felony, and who had committed felonious acts. Where does it say in the SDHSAA constitution that he gets a second chance, wheras other kids cannot? It's a DOUBLE STANDARD. Look that up in the dictionary sometime.<BR/><BR/>And you know, I'm not passing judgment on him. The courts already took care of that. If it turns out the courts were wrong, I'll say the guy was right. If the decision stands, well, tough cookies.<BR/><BR/>And you may call me an insensitive prick about this. Frankly, I don't care. I stopped caring what others think of me a long time ago. But if this kid learns a lesson out of this, grows up and becomes a responsible, honorable, decent man, well, I can forgive.<BR/><BR/>What I cannot forgive are syncophants and apologists who seem to put their own dreams and desires ahead of what's right.Jackrabit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15819146935849889760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975224.post-16335545396650517822007-10-04T22:08:00.000-05:002007-10-04T22:08:00.000-05:00Get a clue, he never quit school he was not allowe...Get a clue, he never quit school he was not allowed in one of South Dakota schools. He was guilty before it ever went to trial thanks to our legal system and the media. You have no idea what happen in this case and should not be commenting on it. And if you read the papers he is not a felon he was adjudicated in juvenille court on seven counts of attempted rape, a big difference. Get it straight or don't comment..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22975224.post-52703905321128389302007-08-31T13:27:00.000-05:002007-08-31T13:27:00.000-05:00Right on, Jackrabbit!

Hunt could have found any number of ways to complete his education last year -- open enrollment, correspondence courses, etc. -- so he could graduate on time and get on with college or work. Hunt and his parents appear to have been more concerned with making sure he still had a chance to play more sports and win more trophies. Hunt (as well as some others involved in this mess) displays a seriously skewed, selfish, and childish set of values. If the SDHSAA won't take a stand to challenge Hunt's warped bully values, maybe the rest of us need to do so by refusing to let our kids play with him.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.com
