Considering the school and where it's located, it really isn't hard to believe. It does though clearly show how culturally divided different parts of this country are.March 14, March 24, and April 20 should be interesting days.

I can't watch the video now, but read about this story. In an email to the recruit, the coach explained that drug testing recruits from Colorado was turning into a hassle that wasn't worth the time. He was doing fine until he added another sentence that basically said "You can think the liberal politicians in your state." Then it turns into a PR issue.

"Thank you for your interest in our program. Unfortunately we are not recruiting players from the state of Florida. Given the high propensity of gun rights laws and the disproportionate number of mass shootings that take place in your state, we have made the decision to not take a chance of putting our students in potentially harms way by recruiting student-athelstes from your state. You can thank your conservative politicians from your state. Best of luck wherever you decide to play."

I read his email as:

"Stay the hell outta Texas you grass-smoking degenerate!"

Weird, considering its legal to purchase in DC.
