E.J. would be so proud … Kansas City Teen Boy Suspended For Wearing A Purse To School Via KCTV5 A 13-year-old Kansas eighth-grader says he was suspended from school on Wednesday because he refused to take off his Vera Bradley purse. His furious mother says it is discrimination because girls are allowed to have purses with no repercussions. “I don’t think everyone should be treated differently,” Skylar Davis said. “Everyone should have the same privileges.” Anderson County School District officials did not respond to KCTV5′s repeated efforts to get a comment. Skylar is a student at Anderson County Senior-Junior School. He said he has been carrying the colorful fabric Vera Bradley bag over his shoulder for some time with no issues. “It expresses myself and I think everyone else can wear it, so I wear it as well,” Skylar told KCTV5′s Dave Jordan. He was summoned to Assistant Principal Don Hillard’s office after he wouldn’t take it off. “I went to the office and I refused to take it off, and they suspended me,” the teen explained. School personnel then called his mother, Leslie Willis, to come get her son. “I was a little furious, and I called the school [and spoke to Hillard] to reverify the story, and yeah, he refused to take off his Vera Bradley bag, nothing more to do it,” Willis said. No purse boys allowed. She said she reviewed the student handbook but did not see a mention to bags or purses. She questions the suspension and the timing. “Skylar has been going to school since August with that same Vera Bradley bag on, hasn’t taken it off. What is the problem?” she asked. She said she supports her son and his choices. She said if he wants to carry a Vera Bradley purse or any other type of bag that he should be able to do so without being punished. KCTV5 left messages for Hillard on his office and cell phone. He wasn’t at home Wednesday night. Dakota Haight said the situation with his brother is unfair. “I’ve seen girls wear short shorts. Why don’t they get kicked out? But then he gets kicked out for a purse? That doesn’t make sense. It’s not right,” Haight said. Willis said she was told that the suspension wouldn’t be lifted until Skylar stops wearing the purse, which he says he won’t do. These kids and their self-expression nowadays… Image via KCTV Continue reading →
September 10 will be here in no time; in turn, 2 Chainz has much to between now and then to properly roll out his new album, B.O.A.T.S. II: Me Time.

We thought Janet’s hubby was a good guy , now we’re not so sure! The billionaire businessman reportedly fired an employee who filed a sex assault case against a colleague after an incident during a business trip earlier this year. Via VG.com reports : Billionaire Wissam Al Mana, husband of famous popstar Janet Jackson, signed the letter of termination for Marte Dalelv (24) after she reported being r@ped in Dubai. The 6th of March this year Dalelv reported a colleague for r@pe while on a business trip in Dubai. Earlier this week, Dalelv was sentenced to 16 months in prison after being convicted for having extramarital sex, drinking alcohol without permission and giving false statement to the police. Ms. Dalelv received a letter from her employer Al Mana Interiors three weeks after she reported the rape, informing her that she was suspended from her position, effective immediately. The ninth of April she got a new shocking letter: Her contract was terminated due to «unacceptable and improper behavior». This time it was the company’s managing director, Mr. Wissam Al Mana, who himself signed the letter. Al Mana writes the following in the letter he personally signed: Dear Ms. Dalelv, Further to the suspension letter notified to you on 20th March 2013, we hereby inform you that you employment with Al Mana Interiors W.L.L. is terminated for misconduct and breach of your employment duties, effective immediately. As mentioned is the suspension letter dated 20th March 2013, your employment agreement is termination due to your unacceptable and improper behavior during your last business trip in Dubai, which has resulted in your arrest by the Police Authorities in UAE. The full and final settlement of any outstanding benefits can be discussed wih Mr. XXXX XXXXXX. At the same time, you are requested to hand in any company property given to you on account of company work. The present letter has been given in accordance with article 61 of the Qatar Labour Law no 14 of (2004), and a copy of which will be submitted to the Labour Department, for their records. Sincerely, Wissam Al Mana Managing Director Dalelv is now living in the Norwegian Church Abroad in Dubai because she has run out of money due to the trial. It’s bad enough that this woman was allegedly assaulted — now she is fighting for her own freedom! SMH @ the bogus a$$ backwards laws that discriminate against women in the Middle East! This woman has lost her job and everything she worked hard for because she’s a woman and society there dictates that even if she was forced into sex with someone not her husband — she’s in the wrong. We weren’t there so we don’t know exactly what happened, but this seems so shady! Janet we hope you haven’t gotten yourself tied up with the wrong person AGAIN!

You can’t be serious ! Vanderbilt Football Player Lets Teammates Assault Girlfriend Via Deadspin reports: While Nashville police have yet to release details of a sex crimes investigation that led to the dismissal of four Vanderbilt football players, allegations are starting to emerge through other channels. Former Volunteers quarterback Erik Ainge disclosed some of those details this morning on his Tennessee Sports Radio program, and they’re ugly. Ainge opted not to reveal any names, saying only that four players were involved and that after a night of drinking one player “allowed” the other three to rape his girlfriend. “They were out,” Ainge said, “they were drinking, boyfriend Vandy football player had sex with his girlfriend, then allowed his three teammates with him to also have sex with his girlfriend, and she did not want that to be the case.” The case is being taken seriously enough by authorities, certainly; the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is involved and testing evidence in its crime lab. Vandy recently suspended four football players amid a sex scandal… Vanderbilt announced the suspension of four players for a violation of team rules, seemingly connected to a sexual assault investigation into an incident that allegedly happened at a Vanderbilt dorm, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern on a Friday. The investigation began on Wednesday. That’s SEC speed right there, boy! Even worse: WKRN-TV reports that six other student-athletes are under investigation. It’s another ugly incident for Vandy football in 2013, after one player stabbed a teammate this April. Listen to the full audio of the crimes detailed below… Continue reading →
Here’s a math equation for that a$$! Ms. Wilson + sex with 7 students = $35K bail money!!! Via NY DailyNews reports : A ninth-grade math teacher allegedly had sex with seven students, one of whom was below the age of consent. DaNita Wilson, 32, was arrested Tuesday and charged with seven counts of sexual assault, reported CNN. “Some of the (relationships) had been going on for at least one year or longer,” said Stacy Carson, assistant special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Wilson is accused of having sex with six students who are over 16-years-old, Georgia’s legal age of consent, and one 15-year-old student, Carson explained. Wilson was suspended with pay from her job at Charlton County High School, pending a formal employment hearing, where the school district’s superintendent, John Lairsey, will recommend her termination. “We’re just shocked and disappointed,” said Lairsey. “And it’s just hard to believe. Just disappointed and disheartened that people we put our trust in would violate that trust.” The school district started investigating the claims after receiving a complaint about Wilson, who has worked at the school for a decade. “We received information within the school system,” he said. “The main meetings continued on Tuesday. At that point, we got the sheriff’s office and GBI involved, and (Wilson) was removed from class before lunch.” Lairsey escorted her to police custody just before lunch and handed her a letter that explains her suspension, according to CNN. Wilson’s bond was set at $35,000 — $5,000 for each case of sexual assault. Her court dates have not yet been scheduled. SMH, based on these pictures we’re thinking maybe DaNita suffered from a lil low self este
Was this a fair call?? According to ESPN , Wade’s not too happy and took his frustration out via twitter : Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade has been suspended one game without pay by the NBA for flailing his leg and making contact with the groin of the Charlotte Bobcats’ Ramon Sessions.

More than anything, I think of my boys watchin me be4 retaliating 2ward any player. Im moving 4ward + ready 2 get back on the court in MIL.” The incident happened with 8:12 left in the fourth quarter of the Heat’s 105-92 victory over the Bobcats on Wednesday night.

Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin, ESPN radio hosts based in Washington, D.C., have been suspended for derogatory comments made in a rant about transgender basketball player Gabrielle Ludwig. Ludwig plays basketball for Mission College and was born Robert Ludwig, a fact Czaban and Pollin couldn’t get enough of. “How does this work? You lose testicles and gain eligibility?” one host asks in the following video. Steve Czaban and Andy Pollin Rant About Transgender Player With Czaban and Pollin constantly referring to Ludwig as “it,” they continued: “This whole gender-bending thing, you know, whatever you’ve got to do to scratch that inner itch and quell those inner demons, that’s fine, but don’t go playing sports then. And don’t go playing sports saying, ‘but I’ve go the rights of everyone else.’ “Yeah, you’ve got the rights to live as a human being with everybody respecting you, but athletics is different.” Said ESPN in a statement, announcing the suspension: “We strongly believe two of our employees crossed the line when discussing a transsexual person on their program last Thursday. Such intolerance and insensitivity will never be tolerated by this company. Due to the nature of this conversation, the pair have been temporarily removed from ESPN980′s Sports Reporters program.” Do you think these suspensions were warranted? Yes, absolutely! No, they were just joking! View Poll »
Yunel Escobar has issued an apology for one of the stranger scandals we’ve seen recently in the world of sports. The Toronto Blue Jays shortstop donned eye black for his team’s game against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, scribbling Spanish words across the outside that translate roughly to “faggot.” The ball player was suspended three games for the action. “I feel bad,” he told the media this afternoon in response to the incident. “I’m leaving my team for something I didn’t intend to do. I have nothing against the gay community and honestly I’m sorry… It was just a joke and it wasn’t directed to anyone in particular… “It’s just something that’s been said around amongst Latinos. It’s not something that’s meant to be offensive. For us, it didn’t have the significance to the way it’s being interpreted right now. It’s a word used often within teams. … I agree with the suspension and don’t have any problem with it.” Escobar, who is hitting only .251 this season, will forfeit about $92,000 as a result of the suspension. A portion of those funds will go to GLAAD.
