Dream date will escort Broad Ripple senior to prom

[z0sa]

If they were 30 and 35 no one would care. I assume, though, if they were 11 and 16, then people would. The difference between a high school girl and a 23-year-old man who spent 4 years in college and played professional sports is vast.

you wouldn't want your 18 year old daughter going out with a university graduate who's playing pro sports?

lol, no one will ever be good enough for your kids

[sprrs]

People are making too big a deal about this. It's prom, something you only (usually) get one chance at. It's not like she's starting a relationship with Hill. It's a one-time thing and it will be more then adequately supervised.

She wasn't planning on going which means she couldn't find a date. As someone who had the same problem, I can tell you it's not a good feeling. Do you know how great it would be for her self-esteem to go to such a special event with one of her idols?

[poop]

how , why are you still pinked? You must have committed the ultimate sin.

yeah i PMed kori ellis about it and so far shes just ignored me.

heres what i did to get pinked: first, i kept supporting POPS MB and saying he brings just what the spurs need so bad. many people did not like this since they automatically hated POPS for some reason. so i was already a hted poster.
2nd, i kept calling out popovich for his horrific rotations and benching of key guys etc.. one day i log on and im pinked. i never attack people unprovoked, i never post anything inappropriate, never done anything wrong actually. there is no real reason for me to be pinked.

No- I know too much about what goes on in professional sports. That is not a place I would ever want my high school-aged daughter to be involved, especially with a 23 year old man. And not that it matters, but I do not recall George Hill actually graduating from college. Maybe he did and I missed it.

I guess you missed your repeated racist comments about Manu that caused multiple complaints about you.

Anyway, I didn't Pink you. timvp did. So you'll have to state your case with him.

Sorry to get in the middle of this... but do you remember when you started opening 5 threads per hour with stuff that was more a post in another thread?

[poop]

ive never done that, in fact ive probably only made about 20 threads total since ive been here, and besides its an internet message board, thats what its for.

I can understand not letting your high school daughter DATE a 23 year old, but a special prom thing like this? I don't see any downside. Its not like Hill is cruising for easy high school girls, lord knows NBA players, even semi-obscure rookies like Hill, can have all the easy groupie tail they want. He's just doing a nice favor for a girl. Plus, his assistant is going as a pseudo-chaperone. I don't see anything wrong with it.

I think its sweet and classy. It would be like Ashton Kutcher or Shia LeBoeuf taking a fan to her prom. Not a big deal at all.

+1

I think everyone is missing the point. It's a special favor he's doing for this girl. It's not like they're actually together romantically.

Just as an aside, she is 18. I wonder what the cut off age is for all of those people who are opposed to an 18 year old dating a 23 year old.
