Not football, but wow very mature move!! Adults could learn something here

Mo'ne Davis, heroine of the Little League World Series, said the college baseball player who was dismissed from his team for posting offensive tweet about her should get a second chance at playing.
Bloomsburg (Pennsylvania) University's Joey Casselberry, a junior first baseman, was thrown off the team after tweeting: "Disney is making a movie about Mo'ne Davis? WHAT A JOKE. That sl-- got rocked by Nevada."
Davis told "SportsCenter" on Monday that she wrote an email to the school asking officials to reinstate Casselberry.

"Everyone makes mistakes," Davis said. "Everyone deserves a second chance. I know he didn't mean it in that type of way. I know people get tired of seeing me on TV. But sometimes you got to think about what you're doing before you do it.

"It hurt on my part, but he hurt even more. If it was me, I would want to take that back. I know how hard he's worked. Why not give him a second chance?"
While Bloomsburg says it respects Davis' opinion and praised her for being incredibly mature about the situation, the school told TMZ Sports that it will not reinstate Casselberry, saying, "Right now we're standing firm."
Davis, from Philadelphia, was the first girl to earn a win and pitch a shutout in the LLWS last summer. She also appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Last week the Disney Channel said development is underway on the biographical film titled "Throw Like Mo."

undefeated Fairmont


Fairmont's JV team remains undefeated and one of the only bright spots this year for the Fairmont program. From the best I can gather from talking to a few people is that Fairmont has a weak senior class that provides very little positive leadership. I hope that the young group coming up can bring back that winning attitude that the varsity is missing. Any thoughts or opinions on this group and or Fairmonts future?

It strikes me as genuine, too (I guess I could be wrong about that, but when you hear things like "Everyone deserves a second chance. I know he didn't mean it in that type of way. I know people get tired of seeing me on TV", it just shows a level of introspection that's hard to fake...)

Re: undefeated Fairmont

I haven't actually seen a Fairmont JV game nor have I been to an Orrum Middle School game but I have heard about how good both teams are. I do know that the QB at Orrum has a ton of potential and could be very good. Fairmont will have athletes but most of them concentrate harder on basketball than football. If the kids can bring it on the football field like they do on the courts, I really love the future that Fairmont will have!

Re: undefeated Fairmont


One of Fairmont's biggest problems is keeping kids on campus. This past year around 25 have transferred to Lumberton High.

Re: undefeated Fairmont

Good to hear about the Orrum QB. 7th or 8th grader? Can't wait to see him.

Re: undefeated Fairmont


From my understanding, he's an 8th grader but he lives NW of Hwy 74. But you never know how that will play out.

Re: undefeated Fairmont


Interesting, that's what I was told by the guy over Parks and Rec. he's from Orrum/Fairmont. Saw this kid yesterday vs Prospect and he looks great. With the right HS coach, he can be an outstanding athlete at that level.

Re: undefeated Fairmont


Saint Pauls was clearly the better team. Not sure they had any more talent. Props to the coaches and players. It was clear they have put on alot of work. Great energy and discipline.
