There is no doubt that what was said in that video was terrible. It is shameful, wrong, and there is no excuse of that sort of thing. I'm sure that doesn't reflect the individual's personal feelings as much as it is just a kid trying to "be cute" for the camera. Regardless, I cannot state how wrong that it is for him to do that. Words are simply words, but when you are in the person in question's position, you are representing yourself, your family, your school, and community. This community has dealt with this reputation for years and has made great strides to break free from it. This incident is a big step back.

That being said, I think a lot of people on social media are wrong in trying to get scholarships revoked, etc. We are still dealing with a kid and one with a potential bright future. One mistake (a huge one mind you) shouldn't go unforgiven. I do think a formal apology should be made. I do think an internal punishment should be made. I realize that there was a suspension for tonight's game. Hopefully it'll work out

I agree with what most of your post, but the way Corbin is handling this blows my mind. Like you said, there's always been this reputation with Corbin. So why not really do the kid a favor and come out and say that it's never going to be condoned at Corbin Independent, and that he's been removed from the team? For one it makes the school look like it really isn't going to tolerate this. Secondly, the kid can move on quick and in my opinion is the only chance he'd have of getting to stay on scholarship.

But from the outside looking in, it looks like they're more worried about winning games, and could care less about the perception of their school.
