American-hating Muslim communist? Interesting to learn!

 

(FYI, this was done entirely sarcastically, to hopefully preempt the large number of needlessly political comments that are sure to follow...:-D )

Posting a political comment, even one which you label sarcastic - though I'm dubious if it really was -, is not an effective means to thwarting other political comments. 

This is an outstanding event, a great cause, wonderful that M's football coach is involved.  When they cancelled the Women's Football Academy they said one of the things they were doing in its place was Detroit outreach.  It's critical and it's great to see this underway.

Sarcasm or no, mentioning the topic (particularly from one viewpoint only) is sure to entice others to join in. It is a self-defeating comment by way of being a self-fulfilling prophecy. It belies an inability to think of events through a lens other than the media-generated political concepts.

Yes, this is way too harsh. Oh well.

"Nina Bailey, a spokeswoman with Excellent Schools Detroit, didn’t know how Harbaugh got in the speaking lineup."

Excuse me? Didn't know? I believe the answer is quite simple:

HARBAUGH

I think that we're getting back to the point where our head coach is going to be a larger than life figure. I felt Bo had that aura and Harbaugh seems to be heading there, off the field, thus far. I obviously have high hopes for him on the field but had no idea that he would be such a presence in just about everything off the field when we got him. Despite being semi-controversial on some things, he has been a full fledged asset since he has touched down in Ann Arbor.

With respect to Ms. Kozlowski, the "guess who?" lede is super weak when you KNOW the headline writer doesn't work for Buzzfeed and will actually state the answer in the headline. Not to mention you can guess a headshot of either or both significant personages will be included. Lazy journalism. Eh, maybe I am feeling ornery this morning.

Outstanding way to show a commitment to education. Parents of athletes, many of whom likely admire Obama, will love this.

So there's some knob out there who hates the idea of Harbaugh talking about education in Detroit, but is too much of a fucking coward to actually post a comment explaining why. Drive-by anonymous neggers are pussies.

I'm not surprised to see Harbaugh speaking up on the importance of education. iirc, some of his comments while at Stanford addressed this very topic. As regards politics, I think many individuals agree with the principle of supporting the office of the presidency, regardless of the individual or party holding that position. Showing respect for the position of the President is important, even if you didn't happen to support a particular candidate.
