@cheetah Unfortunately, social media divides people. People don't know how to interact on social media. Then that division rolls over into real life & people who can't behave online can't behave in real life and situations like this happen. It's sad.

Florida State is the first Undefeated Power 5 Conference Champion to not get into the College Football Playoff. Despite the ACC having a 6-4 record against the SEC this year. Despite their defense not giving up 30 points in a single game all year. Despite their offense having more yards in the ACC Championship than Michigan had in the Big 10 Championship. Despite holding Louisville’s Top 20 Offense to 6 points. Despite beating 4 Top 25 teams. Despite finding a way to win with their Back up QB in a bitter rivalry game. Despite finding a way to win with their 3rd string QB in the ACC Championship Game. Florida State EARNED their spot in the CFP on the field. With and Without Jordan Travis. You don’t punish or diminish the work of 100+ players and coaches because 1 player is not there on the field calling the shots. FSU always answered the bell this year and their response to losing their QB was to play POSSESSED ON DEFENSE. It’s an absolute travesty that they were excluded from the CFP.

That’s a boss move by Coach K

[Justin Su'a @Justinsua]

Coaching requires holding your most talented players accountable when their actions negatively affect the team.

In preparation for the 2008 Olympics, Kobe Bryant, the Captain of the USA Basketball Team, started to play in a manner that was hurting the group.

LeBron James and Dwayne Wade looked at their Head Coach, Coach K, and asked him what he would do about it.

Coach K said, “I’ll take care of it.”

He didn’t want to confront the legendary superstar, but he knew it was necessary.

This is how he handled it…

Spike cornered me at an airport check in to tell me about a basketball movie he was working on. Didn’t think it would end up years later with a scene like this.

Joined the @knicks 11/10/71. Guess today’s my Knicks-versary. Grateful to the team, the city and the fans.

Blatant racism,

It important to realize that if we don’t fight for inclusion, often exclusion is the default position.

[Maynard Institute for Journalism Education @MaynardInst]

A call to action for funders from journalism affinity groups: "Philanthropy has a responsibility to be inclusive, intentional and transparent." Read the open letter to Press Forward from @aaja @najournalists @NABJ @NAHJ @MaynardInst @ONA and @opennews
