I'm not sure why some people have nothing better to do than try to trash a kid that you obviously know very little about. Apparently some adults think it is their right to bash a kid and make others think he is some kind of thug who should be ostracized from society. Why do you even care where he plays football or if he is even allowed to play football? Murphy has had his issues but there have also been personal things going on in his life that he has been dealing with. He had a great year last season and was doing great and working on his problems. Since the first of the year his parents have divorced and this has resulted in some attitude issues. He has also been working on this. He and his coach had some problems which I guess resulted in the coach's decision to release him from Smyrna's team. His mother has been looking for a place she could better afford on her own and his release from the football team enabled her to widen her search. Murphy is not a bad kid and deserves the chance to prove himself. I would think at this point he realizes that he has to prove himself and I would only hope he works hard to do this. At least he should be given the chance.
