Ohio State's Impotent Urban Meyer Decision Another Example Of Major College Athletics' Brokenness
We live in a society where as long as you give people want they want and tell them what they want to hear, they will let you get away with nearly anything.
What difference does it make whether you conduct business like a weasel or spout half-truths and full-blown whoppers to indulge your pathetic ego and phony self-image? Just win, baby.
To be clear, I’m talking about Urban Meyer here. Who did you think I meant?
People in Columbus, Ohio, want to win football games, which is why Urban Meyer is still the head coach at Ohio State. If not for his having won better than 90% of his games as the Buckeyes’ coach, he’d be out on the street for knowingly keeping an accused domestic abuser on his staff for the better part of the last decade.
It says all that you need to know about Meyer that he never apologized to former assistant Zach Smith’s wife Courtney at Wednesday’s press conference that announced his suspension for the season’s first three games. Not the slightest hint of compassion for a woman he apparently believes was repeatedly beaten by her husband.
I say “apparently” because he fired Zach Smith a month ago for some reason, even if nothing in Meyer’s behavior showed empathy for someone he could have helped and never did.
