THIS is the America we need to strive for!!

It's from the Kentucky Wildcats basketball coach John Calipari and he seems like a class act! He posted this on his instagram ↓↓↓

My family's American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home.

From what I've been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son & watch our team. Don't know who this is, but I have tickets for him & his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!!

That's a class act to me. Many times, people look down on other people just because of the occupation they have and/or the way they dress. It's not that he didn't care. It's that he hurried to make it to the game on time for his kid. And the coach did a beautiful American thing!!

You might oughta use your favorite search engine to review John Calipari's various and sundry misdeeds, both personal and professional, over his coaching career before singing his praises . . .

Well, in my defense, I don't know this guy and I don't even watch sports anymore.... maybe some Olympics or a soccer game here and there, but that's it.

I saw what he posted, and I commend him for it. We need more of that, even if we sometimes disagree with each other.
 
It was indeed a kind act, but Calipari has a lot to make up for . . .

I will admit I know nothing of the coaches background or history but it does make me think….

When a "good" person does a bad deed we we rightly defend them and recognize human weakness.

When a "bad" person does a good deed should not we also not recognize it with the same human understanding.
