Legacy? A basketball coach?

Are you drunk on the brainwashing from the sports industrial complex?

My late father in law was a DFC awarded B24 waist gunner, declared by crewmates as having a superhuman aim. Yet humble, thankful for living through it. I don’t think I ever detected the slighted exaggeration from his lips, let alone a lie. He gave me his marvelous daughter’s hand in marriage.

Imo, none of these coaches were worthy of shining his shoes.

Wake up Americans! The commies plans include glorifying sports.

I had an uncle who served as a waist gunner in WW2 as well. He was the same, very humble, quiet and never talked about his experience at all. He raised a loving family of 8 kids. They are true heroes in my book. There is no way I am conflating their service and sacrifice to a college coaching job. Legacies can exist in both worlds. Unfortunately, today the glorification of sports and entertainment are in the forefront.

Sports are communist now. Fascinating. I was going to watch the Master’s next week but now I’m afraid it would give me Bolshevik inclinations.
