"And I understand the financial value of the jewelry - but dang - what's $75G to a superstar multi-millionaire like Cullpepper?
What a Jerk."
Someones a liberal.
"Oh, we can just tax the rich -- whats the money to them anyways??"
A liberal? You've got to be kidding - where did I in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER mention "tax the rich"????
A punk pro athlete decides to take advantage of press and public by "giving" his jewelry to a crippled high school athlete - in an obvious attempt to look like a "great guy". He then shows his true colors by actually taking the "gift" back.
I know he offered to get the kid something else. But did I in ANY way suggest that the gift should have been compulsory? No. I suggested that the bad judgment on the part of Cullpepper makes him look like a big jerk. Bad judgment is bad judgment. In this case, the Pro can afford the bad judgment.
I can't afford to give away "ice" like that - that's why I don't give away things I can't afford and am not willing to part with. And I certainly wouldn't give something away like that and then ask for it back.
And I also am aware that Cullpepper CAN afford the to replace his jewelry - the jewelry he GAVE away.
But I guess you fell for his publicity stunt too....
