Ah, since you didn’t get what you were expecting, here you go! Your hate will only burn you inside! This man is loved and what he stood for was great! I hope you find some love and peace! :) 😂

COACH JOHN THOMPSON RIP !!!! This is what I call selective morality ! You can be gifted athletically and academically no??

[@jamescoleman446]

Yeah. Love John but I’m for anything to get athletes educated.

[@redfordreddington8834]

You don't know what that means. One doesn't need to be gifted academically to play sports

[@jamescoleman446]

The only people prop 42 discriminated against is dumb people. 🙋🏾‍♂️
