During the football team’s championship run and from the weeks since, Auburn has faced many damaging concern from the media.
From converse of owning our name stripped must something damaging arrive away from your Newton investigation to an HBO exceptional alleging Auburn compensated players, it appears there is no accomplish to lengths people will hold to knock us down.
Most recently sportsbybrooks.com, a well-known sports activities blog, ran an write-up alleging the athletic division pays the Tigerettes to sleep with going to recruits.
These reviews have subsequent to no factual backup and highlight the depths salacious sports activities journalism has used in latest years.
While these kinds of “articles” draw readership, it is sickening the defamation to character the subjects should endure.
Jamie Nolen, Tigerettes vice president, goes on to be acknowledged as a prostitute on countless internet information boards and experienced her photo scrutinized with different lewd comments.
This is completely disgusting especially to think her moms and dads should see these comments.
You can converse trash about Auburn and call up our college a cow college. individuals comments roll perfect away our backs at this point.
However, Brooks sports activities ought getting ashamed for sinking to this level.
I may maybe not know Jamie personally, but I can only photo the hell that is known she should be dealing with and wish she does not hold these allegations to heart.
It appears as although underdog testimonies are no lengthier a little something getting appreciated, but instead they are torn down.
We have been offered tiny time to celebrate our extraordinary championship run earlier to the mudslinging began.
I do not anticipate the sleep belonging to the continent to suit our team and college on the pedestal by any means, but I do anticipate a specific level of respect especially from other journalists.
If you arrive throughout fault within our athletic division or spending practices, please provide it to light.
That is your job.
But earlier for you go and ruin a youthful woman’s great name, assure you understand without any a shadow of the doubt your details are in order.
Auburn has invariably been a place filled with ambitious youthful grownup males and women, and I have certainly not felt a complete whole lot more at residence or welcomed anyplace I have been.
That’s what helps make me so furious about these individual attacks on our school, team and students.
I have invariably been one to individual as considerably as any mistakes I have designed and anticipate my college to undertake the same.
If the athletic division says they have achieved completely nothing wrong, I will stand at the rear of them until I arrive throughout a little something to say otherwise.
We should create a proceed back again to good, clean up reporting and quit printing content articles near to the premise belonging to the rumor mill.
I wish Jamie as well as the Auburn family people stay powerful through this time, and stay “All In.”
