Chris Webber deserves apology from Michigan, NCAA for disassociation treatment

The disassociation worked well in pushing the spotlight of blame away from the system or the coaches or the administrators or the circumstances or even Martin, and right on the players. It’s all Chris Webber’s fault!

Never mind that the university has numerous buildings bearing the name of Alfred Taubman, a billionaire donor who actually went to prison on antitrust charges and it never disassociated from him.

This was the NCAA! This was bad! And besides, isn’t Webber sort of unlikable and aloof? Didn’t a lot of people hate that hot-dogging, baggy shorts-wearing team of his? And didn’t he once complain it wasn’t fair that he couldn’t afford to eat at McDonald’s while the school sold his jersey in the bookstore when, in fact, he was flush with Martin’s money? What a liar.

It all fit nicely in a box, wrapped in a bow. Come back and apologize C-Webb, and we’ll even show you how to forgive and forget. How magnanimous of us.
