Some Things Really Are Black And White

Recent events remind me how much I dislike liars, cheaters and those who aspire to victimhood simply so they can cash in.
To
begin with, we have Ball State’s ex-basketball coach, Ronny Thompson.
Even if we discount allegations that he violated a number of NCAA
rules, including illegal recruitment, when he resigned he had a record
of 9-22. Now, it appears he’s asking the university for additional
money, alleging that he left because of racial hostility. Well, I
don’t happen to live in Muncie, Indiana, but if there’s one thing I do
know it’s that basketball is a religion in that state and, whether the
coach is black, white, green or beige, any guy with a 9-22 record is
going to find himself in a hostile environment. [more]
