Dwyane Wade

[harryp]

I have never been as proud of a MU alumnus as I was of Dwyane Wade today.  He was interviewed by Ellen DeGeneris on her show. He spoke out for and defended his young transgender daughter. Obviously an extremely intelligent man, who exemplifies a MU education, he showed as a parent how to respect and raise a child and pass along to her/him the values and sensitivities that I would like to think he acquired along with a Jesuit education. I, as a parent of 5 children, and as almost all parents, have had to accept their children with values and lives that may differ from what they expected. This is done with love and I hope that I have done so as well as Dwyane Wade has.

Very well said. Thank you.

This is week plus old news

[skianth16]

The thread title feels like trolling...

[harryp]

Actually I'm a VERY old alumnus, I don't know exactly what "trolling" means or how to do it. I meant what I said and I said it sincerely. If it's old news, so be it, but I first knew of it this afternoon.

Think he just was referring to your misspelling of Dwyane's name.

The weird poster that's always trolling here.

[GooooMarquette]

I am a long-time spelling and grammar Nazi who has been in remission. But I will go out on a one-time bender for a misspelling of the one name any MU fan ought to get right. D-W-Y-A-N-E.

Okay, now back to my twelve steps....

[tower912]

But yes, DWYANE Wade has shown high character recently.

[IL Warrior]

Lots of good MUBB press lately. Duane Wade on Ellen, Marcus Howard in the running for NPOY, and Juan Andersen making his NBA debut.

I wonder what Luke Fisher and Devante Gardner are up to...

Or Dominique James and Gerald McNeil?  Or Samantha and Jolie Hoser?

Haha, however you spell it the big man was one of my favorite 2-star to finding a way to be a real contributor - and talk about a guy who may have saved MU some really bad press by stopping teammates from doing something really awful.

the company line...

and what's amusing is that in previous versions it was someone else who allegedly stopped it (but actually didn't) from happening.

His defense was much better in games as he let enough of the rest of the team do really awful stuff

FIFY.

Damn.  Guy posts some well deserved praise for one of Marquettes finest and he gets ripped for spelling and "old news".
Thanks for the post Harry!

[nycwarrior]

Totally agree with the OP's sentiment about Wade's bravery on behalf of and acceptance of his child.

I did not see the interview...obviously this post gets away from basketball and into Faith, Social and Moral (notice I didnt say Political) values. Thats ok, an important topic. I don't doubt DWade is a thoughtful and loving father. But I think you can still love and accept your children and see transgenderism as a dysfunctional path that needs the love and acceptance of a parent to help steer them clear of. We should always love our children...what does love look like in situations like this? Can you envision a life choice by your children that you would help them avoid? Is everything ok?....is everything relative?  I am a Christian and see transgenderism as dysfunctional.
