"Sports are a microcosm of society. We showcase how a group of diverse people, White, Black, straight, gay, religious or not, can come together united by something bigger than ourselves," McGraw’s statement read. "We are teammates, who are striving for the same goals, sacrificing personal accolades for the good of the group. We role model how to put ‘we’ before ‘me.’ But we are starting to lose the joy in team celebrations because we are being overrun by trolls who never played or coached the game at a high level but are suddenly self-proclaimed experts on what we do."

muffin mcgraw is legendary former wbb at notre dame. but her words are thoughtful and apply across the field of sport and other places.

Not if you read her entire comment. Sure you can cherry pick and some does apply, but the rest of what she said is bs whiny crap.
She can pound sand in my book.
you run the risk of being run for talking politics here.

i remember muffin bringing her #11 irish into bram and completely dismantling deb's best team in the 2003 ncaa regionals. the cats were ranked #4 going into the game. it was no contest.
Are you calling her Muffin for a reason? Just curious if I'm missing something.

Roll your eyes if you wish, but it was a legit question. I didn't know if there was a backstory I was missing since you did it multiple times.

Yea pretty much a dick move on their part, but would you really expect different from that d-bag channel.
That being said they have a point. Big XII has had chances and failed. But no more so than b1g. There's a few teams at top probs. The rest riding conference coattails.

Very unprofessional. Bush league journalism, really. I hope ESPN gets some backlash for this type of reporting.
