Original Rookie

Again... which player exactly is that exploiting? I enjoy some people implying that this is UK fans making something out of nothing. Major topic on most national radio/TV shows and Adidas is no longer selling the shirts.

Good for him, definitely deserved it. Congrats.

Correct. It was essentially equivalent to a guy selling them out of his van.

It's similar but not the same thing. This situation may be the tipping point for this whole pay the players argument. FWIW, if I were a Louisville fan, I most likely would have bought this shirt.

Not the same thing.

Adidas has pulled the shirts and is no longer selling them.

I will say that I stir the pot sometimes but this is a legitimate conversation. It has national attention and six pages of discussion on here so nope, this isn't.

This topic has been discussed on national shows such as Mike & Mike and Around the Horn but yep, just me out trolling :lol2: :lol2:

Boom. Same reason why a human is much more likely to flip off a car in front of them as opposed to one passing them. Football players are dehumanized due to all of the equipment, specifically the helmet/facemask.

I am a fan and follow the Reds. I don't think whether sports are slow or not right now as much to do with this issue at hand.

Sports are not slow right now but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm more referring to the number of people I see treating this as some great tragedy still. At the end of the day, it is a broken leg. The initial reaction is understood but the kid has been treated and released. Terrible what happened but time to move on from the drama of it.

True but it is also a bigger deal at this point than it really should be.

Given his previous hires, we probably should trust the AD knows what he's doing.

Yes, this is likely. :ohbrother:

This is where I disagree. If you think I'm doing this only because it is Louisville then I can't help you much and really don't care. I'm also the one who posted that UL is taking no royalties :thumb:

This And this.

True, I think people usually just use the two together because they can go hand and hand.

I Shattered My Leg at the NCAA Tournament and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt | The Nation I know I do some Louisville trolling from time to time to stir things up but this is not one of those. I think this will be a major topic as the weekend gets closer and thought BGP could have some good discussion on it. Personally, I do not have an issue with it. As a kid, I would be thinking about how cool it was for everyone to be supporting me, not the potential money lost. As a fan, I can't criticize Louisville because I know UK would most likely do the same thing if this situation. Your thoughts?

I don't think it is unfair if someone calls him too young and too unproven for a major gig.

:lol2: Sure he did. 30 years old would have to put him as one of the youngest head coaches in the country right?

I posted that it didn't bother me, that means it does? :lol2: Not really sure what else I can go on. The cartoon itself doesn't bother me, the fact that they wouldn't do the same about a Louisville problem (not this one) does.

Oh yea I didn't mean for it to sound like I was blaming you. I saw it on the LEAD on Sportcenter today. Just goofy.

Interesting hire and it could very possibly work out. Seems desperate to me.
