This is a great show, and I hope it stays on the air. It actually reminds me of my high school days, even the head coach of the football team is kinda similar to the coach at my old high school. Tonights episode was a little bit annoying though, one of the main plot lines was for one of the coaches to have made a dumb remark that was misinterpreted as racist, after being prodded by a television reporter. The comment the coach originally made was completely harmless, but the reporter kept pressing and putting words in the coaches mouth until the coach finally did sound a little bit stupid, but still not necessarily racist.
Anyway, the show ended with the black football players refusing to play, and walking off the field. I guess you would’ve had to see the show to have an opinion, but I just wondered if the show will continue with this small part of the plot, and whether or not they will ultimately portray how the original comment was completely harmless, and if the football players refused to practice because of it, then they are being ridiculous.
I just enjoy seeing how Hollywood gets their social messages broadcast on television.
