What's this?

You said he didn’t learn anything at UVA

Just curious what experience you might have had at UVA that would lead you to choose to visit the White House and criticize a student-athlete for not wishing to do so. The University is based on a free exchange of ideas and it seems like you’re pretty dismissive of Doolittle’s. Or perhaps you didn’t go to UVA and would have no first-hand knowledge of the experience.

Yes, I went to UVA. Yes, I know Sean. No, he’s not simply some “typical athlete”, whatever the hell that even means. There are MANY (including Doc) that are more thoughtful, compassionate, and honorable than the vast majority of “fans” like you. They aren’t defined by their profession and that’s a great thing. You’d certainly want no part of him in a debate!
