It was about.....

congratulating a kid who won and as a former hokie fulfilled his obligations as a representative of the university. Loyalty is a two way street and the NCAA with immediate eligibility has made transferring very easy. Life lessons are important even for some of the "adults" that post on message boards. Let's revisit your loyalty assertion. How would you define loyalty and the expectations surrounding it? Is loyalty sacrificing your own happiness and development merely to stay with your team? On the other side, is loyalty calling out a kid with all sorts of derogatory remarks about his performance just because of a result and ignoring the actual effort? I think, just like we always believe players should do better, that fans should do better as well. It is kind of ironic that his replacement at VT got some of the same treatment, including from you I believe if memory serves correct. Congrats again to Naheim on getting a ring and picking a situation that worked for him. Edit: Jack, I am sorry you chose to delete the post I responded to. While I might have asked the question in a different manner than you, I thought the question you raised on loyalty was relevant and timely. I also think it raised an issue that we as fans must consider in the revolving door that collegiate athletics is becoming. A situation, I might add, that pro counterparts got moving many decades ago. ** Edited by 2hhoop3 at 4/4/2023, 10:42:58 AM
