I’m gonna start this by saying I really like our coach. Jon Embree is a football guy, he’s a no nonsense guy and frankly, he’s the freaking man. He booted a bunch of guys off the team in the past year for conduct issues, which as an alum I was totally fine with. I could care less about last year’s 3-10 because he’s building a better machine and he’s going to bring the program back to health from the STD that was “Hawk Love”.
Then I read that CU is giving a scholarship to Yuri Wright. The kid that got curbed by his high school for spewing some garbage on Twitter. He killed his account, but as we all know, in the world of the interwebs there is no delete button. Here are some of the tweets that got screenshotted before he nuked his account:

I know you’re gonna think that I’m immediately jumping on the “splash some Jewish lady” comment, but I’m not. Sure, it could be construed as antisemitic, but for all I know, his pops could have done the splash by on a Hasidic Jew walking back from shul, hence the description. Wasn’t there, so I can’t call it. All I know is he didn’t roll up on the Hebrew Hammer, because Mordechai don’t take no drive by splashin’ yo!

No, what really offends me is his inability to spell. Come on man, it’s orgasm, not organism. When you’re gettin’ down wit’ da ladies, you can’t drop a “yo, did you have an organism” on them. You gotta get ready for the college ladies and believe you me, they won’t stand for improper grammar. And I know you only have 140 characters, but you still had plenty of characters left to make it grammatically correct. Perhaps someone should reach out to Don Bosco’s English Department Chair Paul O’Connor (poconnor [at] donboscoprep.com) and ask him why his 12th grade student can’t string together a coherent sentence.
I’m going to put some trust into our coach on this one and assume that he knows what he’s doing. I really hope he does. I’m willing to go the “he’s a kid and kids do stupid things” path with this, because G-d knows I have (and that was less than a year ago). I’ve seen plenty of kids to very stupid things only to turn out to be very upstanding adults. But Yuri, if yo pops rolls by and splashes my Jewish ass with mad water, I’m gonna be seriously pissed off.
