Is it gossip, slander, or cesspool when It actually happened?

I have plenty enough sin in my own life to worry about, so personally speaking, I don’t have the time to point out anyone else’s, but that’s just me. I’ve done some pretty heinous things in my life, so the older I get, the less judgmental I TRY to be, as far as that goes. Of course I stumble at times, like we all do. We’re all pretty rotten at the end of the day, some are just a little bit worse than others.

Is there a way we can all agree to NOT make fun of someone's mistakes and misery on here? Is it possible to keep the messaging related to sports in a positive, constructive way? 

The endless speculation and slander of people's characters does not help elevate high school sports, right?

Let's not get too confused. If you're not familiar with my posts, feel free to go to my profile and/or back through my content over the years...I generally refrain from joining the "mob mentality" of piling on when mistakes are made, but when a husband, father, mentor, and educator engages in this type of willful behavior with a very recent student, let's not pretend that a simple mistake was made. I'm sorry for the wife, kids, extended family, and the other party & family involved, but the more people negatively affected by this DECISION, the more he's earned the shame of having it made public.

I liked your post because it is a well thought out response and I respect your opinion.

My quote earlier today was around so much stuff has happened everytime you turn around this year from this to strange hirings, surprise departures you name it. I hate this for Lenior City but they do have a good man in charge to get past all of this.

From what I hear this could actually turn out to be an improvement for LC.  I stand by earlier statement that when you hire someone from Alabama don’t be surprised when they make a bad decision.

I completely agree, but don’t hold your breath. This forum, like any forum that human beings are involved with, is a cesspool for gossip and slander.

Technically it would be libel. Slander is the spoken word. Libel is the written word. 

Also, truth is defense of both. If it is the truth, it is not slander/libel.  

Note: That still doesn't make it nice. John 8:7

Have heard that several LC players quit after Dugger was fired. Can anyone confirm? And if this is accurate, will these players be a significant loss to the program? 

Well.....last year they finished with 42 total kids in the program.  I doubt anyone quit because Dugger was fired

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
