You know something is truly shocking to you when you have to tweet about it with a broken hand. Shocked. That must have been how Kevin Love felt, because he did exactly that on the day it was announced he’ll miss 6-8 weeks with a broken hand.
Kevin seems to think that Idaho State wide receiver Derek Graves flopped when pushed by his head coach Mike Kramer.
This story is a hot button topic being reported by many different news outlets: ESPN, Fox Sports, USA Today, etc., which is why it was addressed by ESPN’s Outside the Lines.
The Twitter reaction has been a mixed bag. Some people are definitely opposed to coaches shoving their players, while others are of the position that Graves took a dive.
Graves has since filed a police report with the Pocatello police. The school as well as the campus police have also launched investigations into the shoving incident.
I have a comment, Brumagin: Go back to school and learn the difference between the words “inferred” and “implied.” OK? The lawyer didn’t infer a thing. Or maybe I’m guilty of bullying during “Bullying Prevention Awareness Month.” Whatever this is and whatever weasel company concocted it in order to make a quick buck.
Thank you for your concern, but I stand by my word choice.
Consider the definition of infer and the circumstances (that there was video evidence and witnesses to corroborate the story), it should be fair to say that the lawyer made a conclusion based on the facts that he had available to him. That, by definition is what it is to infer. Also, consider that to imply involves inferring (“to involve or indicate by inference”).
