Kinda funny how neither one of them noticed all the transfers! Shouldn't the principal be on top of that? And the head of security didn't notice his former players in the hallways until they showed up in his weight room? Was he even doing that job?
To be fair, he was too busy hiring coaches who would later offer drugs to minors to notice all these new kids on campus.
The coach you are talking about was an ex division 1 football player, with a decent job, and reputation in the community before that incident. He could have gotten a volunteer coaching at at any other high school football program in the state. He was well qualified for the position.
So, to confirm...in your world someone who tries doing drugs with minors is "well qualified" for a position that involves being around minors? Maybe, just maybe sit this one out.

Good thing no one cares what you think!
Literally 99.99 percent of white people think this.
Fixed it for you
Thank you for showing you're racist.
Completely unsurprising that one of the knuckle draggers who allowed this to happen, Abe Kamarck, started a change.org petition in support of the Hayfraud kids.

What's the rock and the hard place? I don't see that at all. In fact, I truly don't understand her motivation. Can someone explain it to me? Why did she go along and put her neck out to defend a bunch of people clearly cheating? What was in it for her? Just why??
Reid was hired not that long ago by a 12-0 Democratic School Board who saw in her someone equally committed to their equity agenda and commitment to progressive values. Do you really think she would put that on the line by challenging a Black principal and a Black coach at a school already known only for its athletic (basketball) rather than athletic success? No, she acted entirely how she thought a progressive White woman woukd act under the circumstances by defending Hayfield and refusing to conduct a real investigation. It is very much the bigotry of low expectations on display.
She needs to resign or be fired. She is a completely incompetent waste of taxpayer money.
BS. She behaved like a closeted white supremacist throughout this entire ordeal. She did no favors for the Black staff or the football team at Hayfield.
Is this the new narrative the Hayfraud families are using, that Reid is now the White supremacist? This is an interesting straw to grasp at.

If the "rock" is her tacitly supporting Overton/Hayfield etc. and a "hard place" is her lies, I agree with you 100%.

Wait, what are the "federal crimes"?
At least two violations of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. And, as the two individuals in question were likely minors, illegally leveraging the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act to gain entry into Hayfield likely automatically green-lit them for federal assistance like SNAP, meaning they likely committed welfare fraud as well.

What wasted food? The football team meal comes from the "team mom's" fundraising account, not the boosters. Chips, candy, cokes, etc is all prepacked and will keep for basketball season.
Whatever the case, they shouldn't let the homeless student athletes go without during Thanksgiving.
Are you really that obtuse? They are not homeless. They have perfectly good homes in PWC.
That hasn't been proven. You really want everybody to believe that they commuted on the daily from PWC to Hayfield? No less at the whim of whatever their schedule was?
I drive 50 miles to work everyday. 15 miles is nothing.
There's long been a rumor of a hired van driving those PW kids to Hayfield every day.
It isn't a rumor. There is videotape of the Hayfraud kids getting in and out of a van at the 7-11 outside of Hayfield every day. It was given to Reid et. al. They ignored it.

A Nike contract?!? for a public HS?
An exclusive deal is highly unusual for a public high school. Possibly illegal? Maybe. But not 100% sure.
Lol
I think the students at the St. John’s Academy in NW DC (independent high school) are only allowed to wear Under Amor gear due to the exclusive deal with the company’s CEO who is an alum. That’s one of the problems with these exclusive athletic sponsorships at the prep school level.
The UA deal with St. John's College High School (that's the name of the school you are referencing) doesn't forbid kids from wearing Nike, Adidas etc. If that were the case the school uniforms would have to be UA and I am almost certain they are Flynn O'Hara. The UA deal is specific to the sports teams and the school store. The school store is only allowed to sell UA clothing unless UA doesn't make the type of clothing being sold (e.g. ties) and the athletics teams are only allowed to wear UA uniforms, warmups etc. It makes sense for a UA to make a deal like this with an SJC as SJC is, to HS sports fans, a national brand and good at many sports (and it doesn't hurt that UA's founder is an SJC alum). I would be shocked if Hayfield got a deal that looks even remotely like that. Nike would keep an Overton at a very far distance.
Thanks for the explanation. Looking into this more, Nike has sponsorships with public high schools, especially in Oregon where the HQ is. But both girls and boys sports should get equal treatment, and it appears Nike is only providing uniforms for Hayfield’s popular boys sports at the moment, with the other sports in the back of the queue.
Welcome. Penned the prior comment on my phone and not logged on to my account. That said, I would be surprised if what you wrote is true. Not saying you are lying, but knowing the whole picture, this is likely a Hayfield thing and not a Nike thing. I've known of very few arrangements in which a sneaker company, clothing line etc. states, for high school sports programs as insignificant as a Hayfield, that they will provide X to certain programs and only Y to others. Usually, because the "sponsorships" are really only discounted uniform deals, it is the high school making the purchasing decisions. So it's safer to assume, if what you are saying is right, that it was Hayfield that made the decision to upgrade the boy's teams uniforms first.
Following the thread from my phone like you. I don't have time to reread everything, but it appears the Fairfax Times / WSJ reporter who broke this whole story has uncovered a deal with Nike that doesn't appear to be above board. Other parents on here are saying that popular boys sports at Hayfield are getting the Nike gear first.
This is the one area in which I think Nomani might be wrong, but if I am wrong so be it. I think she conflated Fritts' text messages ("I like money") with the claim that Nike now sponsors Hayfield and came to a conclusion that might not be there. I write this not as an expert but someone who has coached for decades (never as a FT job as an FYI) at every level from D1, to competitive HS sports, to AAU and competitive club sports. As I have noted in another comment or two, sponsorships like this are typically just of the discounted merch variety. Nike doesn't do shady deals with nothing high schools. There is no value add for them to do so. As to the claim by other parents that popular boys sports at Hayfield are getting the Nike gear first, again, based on a ton of prior experience, I would have to assume that would be a decision by Hayfield and Nike.

Does anyone know what a “Nike contract” means? Did they just provide uniforms, or did they pay the team/coaches/players? And how did Hayfield get a Nike contract when the team had a brand new coach and no accolades?
It depends on the school. Stu Vetter was legit getting paid by sneaker companies when he was still coaching HS sports. But a Hayfield, almost certainly not, especially with an Overton circling around. This contract was likely just discounted uniforms (barely discounted) and some free swag for coaches.

Maybe Nike could make orange prison jumpsuits with the swish logo for Overton, the AD and everyone who had knowledge of the welfare fraud?
This. Is. Gold.

And this still isn't the second shoe dropping. I don't know what is more damning in this article: 1. That Reid knew they cheated, still negotiated for a one year playoff ban, and then encouraged Hayfraud parents to go to court to challenge the ban; or 2. That we now know (at least) two players committed residency fraud and in doing it in the manner in which they did also committed welfare fraud. I look forward to charges being brought against anyone who played a role in those violating federal law here. I also look forward to Asra's next article.
In other news, the Hayfraud parents have gotten awfully quiet...

You don't have to be politically aligned with Asra to appreciate her investigative reporting skills.
Dismissing her because she is not team blue is not very smart.
I don't think this is a case where team blue is dismissing her. This is team Hayfraud dismissing her. They've been doing it throughout and taking petty personal swipes at her as well throughout. I am as blue as they come and I have really appreciated her journalism throughout.
