If you take a look at the list.of prior recipients,( Medal of Freedom) there are two professional football players on the list Roger Staubach and Alan Page, both awarded by the treason monkey in 2018. Absent from any discussion at the time was why them and not Joe Montana and Reggie White. No discussion of why Jim Ryan and not Carl Lewis, Annika Sorenstram and not Nancy Lopez. Those issues only arise when someone has an agenda apart from the medal decision.
Allan Page sets the standard for the Medal Freedom which reads The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the Nation s highest civilian honor, presented to individuals who have made exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States, world peace, or other significant societal, public or private endeavors.
The Page legacy in football is unmatched and he is a member of both Halls of Fame. After his NFL retirement he served as an Associate Justice of Minnesota Supreme Court for 21 years.
Then Page and his daughter founded the Page Education Foundation which provides financial and mentor assistance for local students of color to attend public and private universities, colleges and trade schools in Minnesota.
What started as a dream of raising $100,000 to give 10 young people postsecondary opportunities, has now garnered over $14 million and sent almost 6,500 students to Minnesota schools and another 40 to Notre Dame (the one exception to the Minnesota rule) over the past 30 years.
An outspoken critic of Donald Trump, Page was still selected by Trump to be honored with the Medal of Freedom based on his lifetime achievements. The Page selection was hardly based on any agendaother than merit.
Your disdain for Notre Dame is boringly stupid based on the 1966 football season when Page and Notre Dame won the National Championship over Michigan State, the season that included the infamous 10-10 tie when the two teams met.
You may never get over that, I guess.
But do not take it out on Page.
