Durable? Hard no.

Airflow? Probably.

There's also the suggestion in the video that they're going to stink real bad really fast.

i'd assume you do it for the connections with other rich families who woudl buy their kid a spot in kanyes school, which can be more valuable than a high school/college diploma combined if you make nice with the right people

or youre really in the tank for kanye and you dont care if your kid is or not

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Nine vast and trunkless platinum records
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Oz'Yemandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Words, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The long arms of the Jews stretch far away.”

You realize that person went on and wrote a fantasy about those kids parents about how they're all right wingers and how these children deserve to be taught a lesson because of their parents? (But, also, because of Kanye, so, realistically they just wanted the kids punished and reasons be damned)

I guess I hate to stereotype but black teenagers that play basketball/ some of which are blue chip recruits, do not strike me as the prototypical mold for right wingers

Most of the greatest role models they'd have in the sport are notedly invested in social justice and the NBA, all things being relative, is by far the most socially aware pro sports league for men

The tournament they got banned from could have helped their futures and development, and assisted with getting into college.

It seems incredibly easy for me to understand that allowing the literal children to continue and play with their peers instead of lashing out angrily and punishing them would be better than allowing Kanye to gently caress more ppl over. Ban the school next year or something to give the kids time to adjust instead of potentially impacting their futures (because somebody needs to teach those minorities a lesson in why minorities shouldn't be treated bad)

Also donda academy is a joke. NDA or not, If you actually look at the players and the way they interact with the media and answer questions about it, one of them flat out said it didn't prepare people for college and the school would just let you do whatever you wanted lol.

That would have been a reason to be taken out of the tournament and it may have even benefited some people, but it's pretty telling that instead of holding a school accountable for academics they'd rather hold children accountable for the words of somebody they have no control over and would have no reasonable expectation to

E: tldr, I look at the kids and I can not bring myself to feel any negativity towards them. I'm curious how my family feels about it. We're largely comprised of Jewish immigrants and I'm picturing my grandmother feeling sad over the kids being caught in this.

Honestly feels like a bunch of gentile referees tossing out a bad makeup call to me.

I asked myself if I would still be OK with the decision if the kids were from a good school that wasn't a recruiting ground for the Kanye cult and no, I would not be OK with it. So basically, I don't think we should say punishing the kids is good just because they come from a lovely school.

The thing is it's not just a lovely school, the fact that it's unaccredited means there's not even the minimum of basic protections from the owner using it to push batshit insane opinions, and that's something their families were aware of when they chose to go there, so when the owner does go batshit insane, the school may be cut off by reputable institutions. If it was accredited as a proper school they might stay connected because that provides a (hypothetical) barrier between the worst impulses of the owner and the curriculum.

They want crazy they can control and feed lines. This is riding the tiger and hoping he doesn't bite you crazy. Which is especially dangerous because it looks like Kanye fixates on whoever he's dealing with in his life and blasts them publically.

Yeah but that's not why they made the action though

They did it to hold the kids accountable for what Kanye said not because of scholastic reasons

Those scholastic and accreditation reasons were there long before people decided to make an example out of unrelated children and pretending like that has a single thing to do with this is kind of a joke honestly

Don't even get me started on the number of Christian schools out there lmao

Since the tournament let them in unaccredited to begin with, there's no argument to be made for using the accreditation to remove them

Jason Lee was his head of media and a partner in some business venture Kanye was involved in. He's soon to host his own talkshow "Hollywood Unlocked". He has a lot of douchbag energy about him.

I think he may have also have been the person to leak the pictures of Kanye and Candace Owens wearing white lives matter t-shirts.

I’d really enjoy that. I have been wondering why I’ve enjoyed Kanye’s fall from grace so much. Even though he has kids, even though he’s mentally ill.

He’s lived in reality TV so long that I just can’t see him as a real person.

The lack of accreditation means there's nothing stopping a bad person who owns it to use it badly. When he didn't seem so off the wall that wasn't as much of a concern but now he's completely antisemitic the fact that there aren't enough barriers between him and the students means that's become more of a problem.

He has always seemed exactly this off the wall

Accreditation was never a concern to begin with and making it a concern ex post facto at the expense of children is an overreaction in my opinion

As I said earlier, it seems like a lot of gentiles trying to do a makeup call from here.

I don't think there's really an argument to be made that removing these kids from this tournament is actually in their best interest, like I said I think effectively canceling the school for next season and giving the literal children time to sort out their lives in a healthy way is a much better way to do it

I acknowledge that there's room for other opinions, I think this is the way that creates the absolute most victims possible however

E: Also, accreditation being moot as far as a requirement for entry into the tournament to begin with, which it will probably continue to be not required going forward - I think a more elegant solution would have been to have the entire team basically throw on a red or a blue jersey with some numbers on it and no school name or anything.

I believe the Olympics effectively do a similar mechanism for similar situations instead of sanctioning people that are innocent

Without understanding how the tournament itself works, it seems like it's also screwing another team of completely even more unrelated people out of participating? I don't know how the arrange the games now that they are down a team or what the opponents will do without somebody to play against
