Classic.

 

Awesome.

 

You can't fix stupid.

 

That's right up there with the Seattle high school basketball players tweeting about their three-person Spanish class.

 

I don't understand why they have to penalize the players for doing nothing wrong. So what if they didn't live in the area. It's not a big deal. Wow.

 

This mom probably cost each of the boys college scholarships.

 

So you think if you live and pay taxes in Podunk County but want to go to school in Wealthy County, you should just be able to?

 

Yes, if you're trying to make a betterl ife for your children you should let them go to the public school 10 minutes down the road if that's what it takes.

 

No, no, it's not the mom's fault. It's the newspaper's fault for reporting that the school has to forfeit the wins.

 

Are you really that big of an idiot equating playing football with a better life? The mom could have solved this by completely moving her sons to the new district and not play games.

I don't know how many states have open enrollment, but she could have moved up to Minnesota.

 

Can people stop saying this? Who has argued that a newspaper has cost a kid a scholarship?
