Lurker 683 Report post Posted October 9 (edited) Was reading about this elsewhere. I think all we need to know about the guy is in another article (maybe this one too, didn’t read it) he has no children but has a lot of commentary on how parents should be raising their children. Nuff said. PS- Let’s not turn this into a thing where we act like this guy represents the mindsets of majority of PSU fans.

scribe 1,653 Report post Posted October 9 He’s got strong and frequently dumb opinions. At least going by the article. But racism is a bit of a stretch. His comments about Muslims do venture into that territory though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CoachWrestling 257 Report post Posted October 9 Penn State wrestling has a lot of "get off my lawn" types. The kind of guys who like to spoil any and all fun, even if it is harmless. This comes as no surprise. 1 leshismore reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, so does Iowa, Oklahoma State, Ohio State, Fresno State, Brown, St. Cloud State, Grand Valley, Seton Hill, Clackamas Community College, Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Sacred Heart, John Carroll, and every other college team as well as every town in America. You haven't described something unique to Penn State. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigTimeFan 857 Report post Posted October 9 I wonder how he feels about Mark Hall’s tattoos. I barely wanted to respond. Don’t want to feed the beast. The guy suffers from a lot of self-importance. He’s needy. Wants attention from the players. The media. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmm53 419 Report post Posted October 10 He has "traveled to more than 93 countries" but is still a myopic, xenophobic, ethnocentric idiot.

Eh, when you are shelling out that kind of tax money, and we have so many people on public assistance and failing education, I think he should get an opinion on the current state of things when he is paying out more than 99% of us. When you are paying for dinner, your opinion on what gets served should be warranted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely wasn’t a 1 percenter as you imply. And donating Penn State doesn’t give him the right to send harassing letters to the athletes. 2 CoachWrestling and uncle bernard reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have to work hard to figure that one out. Do you seriously think he would send the same letter to Trevor Lawrence for his long hair? This guy sounds like a miserable human being.

Agree with the idiot part, disagree with the children to restaurants part. Total bummer when Im out at a restaurant to treat myself and my girl after a long week of hard work, and Im paying good money to have kids running around and screaming. I agree with him. If you cant control your kids in a restaurant, dont bring them. It ruins it for everyone else. Unpopular opinion because most people are parents. 2 KCMO2 and RealAmericanHero reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never/rarely seen kids running around screaming at nice restaurants on a friday/sat night, where you'd generally go on a date. But obviously many restaurants are kid-friendly and it's perfectly ok for them to be there making noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
