Oh, I am not singling him out at all. The whole organization was corrupt.
However, I completely disagree he had no choice. Especially in this day in age in college football. "I am entering my name into the transfer portal effective immediately"
Just about every school in the country would have reached out to him. This isn't the army, and even in the army don't have to follow every order. That defense didn't work in Nurnberg, if you recall (and no Boston Red, I am not comparing what Michigan did to the Nazis or the Holocaust).
Its a college football team. He knew what they were doing and he CHOSE to take part.
What would you say.....ya do here?

There is so much truth to this. That I said everybody does it, isn't condoning it. Everyone chooses to be a part of something corrupt or not be a part of something corrupt, to benefit from it or not benefit from it. There are no Saints. Every human being is corrupt. If you're using any product of these companies,...Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Samsung, Coca-Cola, and the list is very long, or if you support a government locally that is hypocritical in what they say and what they do, then you are corrupt. This includes every human being among this group.
To call somebody else out is fine, if you want to, as long as you understand that I could find one thousand things that every person does which is corrupt. Everyone has a line that they personally draw where this is concerned, and the true line of everyone is always miles away from where they think it is. The only one anyone has to answer to is themselves. Trying to measure what hurt one does to someone else can more easily be done from the outside, thus this discussion we are having.
I wish you well in your Crusade, but it's a lonely one. In the end, we all have a lot to answer for.
