Temple/Chaney ping!
He's such a tool. I smell a lawsuit.
They have a poll posted on the site -- vote if you have an opinion.
If Bobby Knight would have done this the liberal sports writers would be all over him. It would be 24 hours non-stop of the history of Bob Knight abuses.
He's black.
He's untouchable.
He can do just about anything he wants and suffer no repercussions from it.
I agree with the sentiment of the article. Chaney has gotten a free ride for far too long. I'd suspend him for a year -- without pay -- and put him on notice that the next time he pulls a stunt that brings dishonor on the University he will be fired. My guess is that Chaney would quit in a huff. THAT would be even better than a firing, IMHO.
If he were a hockey coach, no one would be breathing a word of criticism.
What league is Temple in?
Isn't this a league commissioner's decision?
But this episode goes way too far. If Woody Hayes had to step down at Ohio State for going after a football player, then Chaney should be forced out with this more serious episode.
His suspension of himself is a total farce. If he has the power to suspend himself, why doesn't he just forgive himself? What a joke! Hit the road, Chaney. Temple will survive without you.
Go 'Nova!
Chaney should be long gone.
But he was held up as a role model in the past, so, most likely, nothing will be done.
Racist s***bag. Always was. If I were the kid with the broken arm I would sue him and Temple for compensatory and punitive damages. Punitive damages are almost never warranted but here you have actual malice. Firing is simply not enough.
The only people in Philly who are still defending him are professional victim blacks and, naturally, the Philadelphia Daily News (which is to the left of Pravda).
If I was in workplace situation and ordered one of my people to assault a co-worker, I'd wind up in the jail.
Then again, I was born with the original sin of being white.
