The barn will surely burn for this. :inb4leslienielsonpics: Title: Re: The Opelika-Auburn newspaper Post by: Chechem on November 02, 2014, 04:18:09 PM Just sickening.
"Finding a way"? No; designing an entire Sociology Department at Aubrun to give grades away to athletes was 'finding a way'. Breaking the leg of a player, albeit a terrible accident, is nothing to relish. Asses.

http://www.oanow.com/opinion/editorials/article_78cb2a08-62e6-11e4-b538-0017a43b2370.html The editors said, "We did not intend to glorify Treadwell’s injury or offend any reader. To any person hurt by our editorial decision, we apologize." But most of the editorial is NOT an apology; rather, a rationalization. Did you expect a sincere apology from a Booger-filled staff? :facepalm: Title: Re: The Opelika-Auburn newspaper Post by: 2Stater on November 03, 2014, 06:46:25 AM (http://cdn2.teen.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/zayn-malik-middle-finger-censored-kac-092012.jpg)
