Normally I would never do anything like this but I feel this is necessary. The ONLY reason I am writing this is because I got an email stating that I offended people with my post. I am going to address this and then I will not speak or write to anyone about it again. We need to stay united as a community and not take things personal just like I told the guys. Please don't let a few words that was meant to make a child feel better upset you.
This was an attempt to get people to know that things can be hurtful even if you do not mean them that way. I wanted people to know how some of the future Bobcats were feeling. I in NO way meant to make others feel bad! And if you will read what I wrote I did NOT say whether these things were being said by adults or other peers. I just said the ones (fans), that did not mean in anyway adults. I would never tell a child to speak badly to an adult or anyone else for that matter.
It was said that I am just jealous because Tyler is not a great player or didn't contribute to this team like he should have. It was also said that Tyler needed to get over himself and move on and concentrate on ball. Well, whether you want to believe me or not, Tyler was not one of the ones that said anything to me. It was actually a freshman that mainly talked to me. Tyler is very strong in the confidence area. I am proud to say he listens to people but decides whether they are being a positive influence or not. Now I am not saying these other guys that spoke with me are not, I am just saying that they are not to that point yet.
As far as Tyler getting in trouble a couple of weeks ago. Listen to me good over this one, he was punished accordingly, end of story. I REFUSE to let anyone hold this over his head. EVERYONE has faults, makes mistakes, does wrong and is diffently NOT perfect! The only perfection that I know is God. And I am quite sure that God has forgiven Tyler so he doesn't need anyone else to try and make him pay or ask for forgiveness. He KNOWS as QB he needs to be a leader and he plans to do that. IF he stumbles along the way he NEEDS people to remind him that they love him and as his mother I am going to do that whether anyone likes it or not. I am not going to tell him he needs not be QB, like what was said to me in the email!
With all this said (and I think I addressed everything) I am willing to forget and forgive your email if you will take this public apology if I hurt your feelings. And if there is anyone else that I made feel uncomfortable or felt like I was putting them down I say again it was not meant for that.
United we stand, divided we fall and I BELIEVE that we all will stay united. GO BOBCATS in ball and in LIFE!
