I agree with Michael Wright that the black player actually committed no violent acts as compared to Chaisson, who punched his girlfriend and threatened to kill her with a screwdriver. Your argument is that Josh Jarboe had two convictions and Stoops still brought him to campus. So is this such great treatment to call it reverse discrimination if Josh Jarboe WAS kicked off the team? No. A black was given what you think was preferential treatment FOR A SHORT TIME and therefore this is reverse discrimination? I don´t agree.
