Christopher,
I have responded a dozen times to refute the lies in this article. Concerning the treament and death of Greg Page, not one word of it is true! Read my comments and watch the documentary if you want the TRUTH.

Angie…there is ZERO truth in this article. You can hate UK for whatever reasons, but if you hate them for the treatment and death of Greg Page as its described by tis author…then you’re a victim of a lie. There is not one word of truth in what this article says about Greg Page and Nate Northington. I know, because I was their friend, teammate & roomy. If you want the truth, contact me at my email and I’ll send you facts and a documentary done by a black journalist about the tradegy. Don’t form your opinion on a lie.

Thanks for being objective and critical thinkers! The author of this article has perpetrated a complete lie regarding how Greg & Nate were treated by teammates and put forth not one word of truth about the practice session we were going thru when Greg was injured. Not one word is true!

I was Greg Page’s friend, teammate, roomy AND pallbearer. I was 30 ft from the drill where Greg was hurt…and nothing the author says about is true.

If you contact me at my email, I’ll send you some other things that will give you what you want…TRUTH.

This article is blatantly false as it describes Mr. Page. As the author of The Thin Thirty, I’m no apologist for the UK football regime in this era.

This author cites no evidence. He is making up facts. The best evidence is that Page suffered a spinal cord injury in a tragic accident. To suggest he was targeted is shameful.

I don’t have any opinions on the author’s larger points. But an author that starts with a lie is suspect. There are hard truths in UK’s racial history. This isn’t one.

The description of events regarding Greg Page is completely false. And as the author of The Thin Thirty, I’m no apologist for the football regime in this era.
Page was not targeted or abused because of his race. Suffered a spinal cord injury in a freak accident at practice. I’ve interviewed numerous players about this incident.
This author cites no evidence regarding Page. He can’t. His version is fabricated.

The 21st century………….Young people have to look beyond the
dollar sign. Our forefathers came to these shores against their will. They did not sign up for a vacation cruise from Africa to the U.S. Those who survived beyond the civil war taught their children to get an education FIRST!! and this mantra came down the genera-
tions until it met the INSTANT GRATIFICATION DEMON…….AND EVERY AA MALE WANTED TO BE ANOTHER (star athlete) Michael
Jordan……… . Michael Jordan reached and surmounted his “sports” goals by hard WORK and self mastery , at something he genuiinely loved; and he entertained the World who was dazzled by his athletiicism; and who also had a college education.

Come on, is anybody really surprised? This is a nationwide problem. Maybe not as obvious as UK, but certainly noticible if you pay attention. You’ll rarely find a school with enough tenured minority professors that resemble the schools student body.

How disgusting is UK. I grew up in Lexington, Kentucky and I have a sister that currently works there which she constantly talks about her racist boss. After reading this article I will NEVER again be a UK fan. I have a nephew right now in Lexington, Ky who plays on the JV and Varsity team who hopes to play for UK one day but I will see what he thinks after reading this article. Shame on you UK…UGH

The civil war was not fought to free the slaves. And Abraham Lincoln did not free them either. “The Emancipation Proclamation” simply transfered ownership of slaves from citizens to the “State”.Hence the rise of convict leasing after Reconstruction.
