Tough love

In the news recently there's been quite a bit of discussion on Rutgers Men's Basketball and their coach, Mike Rice. All because there has been videos that have surfaced of this coach pushing, hitting, kicking, throwing basketballs, and shouting gay slurs at his players. Now a lot of people are in uproar and for good reason since this is uncalled for and distasteful. The school's athletic director saw this video back in November, as a result the coach was suspended three games and fined $50,000 in December. Which blew my mind because I figured he would have been fired and suffered a tougher punishment. A few days ago ESPN aired these videos and now this situation is getting the publicity it needs. Now I'm anxious to see the outcome of this entire situation. Especially since there's people like NBA star LeBron James tweeting about what he would do if his son was put in these circumstances.
