First half of the article in which she recited facts was pretty solid. However, rather than researching real opinions, she got lazy and set up a bunch of strawmen to fit into her piece in which she clearly just wants a reaction. For example:

quote:

I'll bet some of the same people who think Henderson is just a free spirit probably called Allen Iverson a selfish punk. Or thought Tyrann Mathieu never deserved to wear an LSU uniform again.

I'll bet some of the same folks who vehemently argue against college athletes being paid probably applauded Henderson for his honesty when he said he was tired of playing for free.


I mean, "I'll bet..."? Why not just do some research and find the reactions? Just lazy, poor journalism. I can't stand the straw men. Main reason I find it hard to listen to Cowherd.

She was on the money until she started with the race crap.
