Mo'ne Davis - asks that Bloomsburg University reinstate the player that shamed her [View all]
Talk about class. Mo'ne Davis, the girl that last year at age 13 took the country by storm when she pitched a shut-out at the little league world series (a game for boys), was recently called a very derogatory word by a college baseball player from Bloomsburg University through Twitter. Bloomsburg University quickly reacted by suspending the player in question from the team.
Today Mo'ne showed more class at her young age of 13 than this college age adult from Bloomsburg has ever known - she asked that Bloomsburg reverse their decision and let the player continue to play. She forgave him.
I hope the player from Bloomsburg learns and others like him learn something from this. If you think you need to be calling women you don't even know words like 'slut' and 'whore' and other derogatory words through apps like twitter - maybe you need to rethink how you use those apps and deactivate your accounts. There's been alot of talk in the media about this most recently from Ashley Judd and Curt Schilling (Judd and Schilling's daughter both where hounded by twitter idiots calling them similiar outrageous names. It's time we women fight back.
