Well Mourning did swindle the Nets for millions and overcome a very bad medical issue

I still remember Zo’s championship with the Heat’ with wade and Shaq. At least he’s out there doing lots of charity works for kidney-disease research while Janet Reno is only known for WACO.

Wise decision.

Who would want their kid to attend a school named after the Butcher of Waco?

What would their school mascot be?

Exactly!

Why can’t the school be named after both, like “Reno-Mourning”? After all, first comes Reno, and then comes the Mourning.

Can’t really fault them there. Name it after a sports figure or after a lying scum bag AG who killed at least 90 people at Waco, many of them children, uselessly I might add.
