re: University of Alabama spurns Deontay Wilder

B/c summer camps are not just for local kids. You've got kids from all over that attend these camps - many of which stay on campus. They've planned the what, where, and how of these camps for months. It's awesome that Wilder is from T-town and loves Bama, but the activities already planned don't just stop b/c he wants to fight on campus.

I'm sure if there wasn't a conflict it would be given more consideration.

Wilder is a guy who has stayed committed to Tuscaloosa. He trained for his title fight in Tuscaloosa when many put pressure on him to relocate.

The problem here is that Bonner didn't call him back to say "thanks, but no thanks." I know she's busy, but a local hero is trying to bring a heavyweight title match to Tuscaloosa. Coleman would sell out and it didn't have to be done during the week of the camps. I'm sure if he would have heard "do it on a different date," he would've changed the date of the fight to be able to hold it in Tuscaloosa.

Coleman handles transitions from gymnastics to basketball every now and then during the season. This garbage about summer camps and being too busy to call the guy back is complete bullshite and Wilder deserves more respect than that.
