Don’t hurl insults at teenagers on the internet. It’s an impossibly simple, reasonable rule; one that should be so deeply embedded into everyone’s moral code that it doesn’t even bear mentioning. Alas, we don’t live in that world.
Joey Hauser made his college choice Sunday, committing to Marquette instead of Wisconsin. It’s natural that Badgers fans would feel disappointed; the two schools are rivals, and Hauser is an incredibly talented in-state player. Nobody’s arguing that fans shouldn’t care about recruiting or the future prospect of their programs.
What’s not okay is commenting on the Twitter status announcing his commitment to trash his choice.
