Before I say anything, I just want to
congratulate this young lady for being a role model for fellow young
women of color everywhere. It's a great thing to see a young woman
break some barriers with her performance in the LLWS, which was
lights out for most of the tournament, but it's also great to see
her actually keep being a positive influence out there when there
aren't that many floating around this day and age. She's handled
every single bit of adversity and new found fame in stride as best
as she could, and it's been refreshing. I know there are a lot of
influences when it comes to money and fame, but I'm glad that she
has a solid foundation around her that keeps her grounded and well
aware of who she is and what she represents.
Clearly the most awesome thing to happen to Ms. Davis is that fact
that
Disney has announced she's having a movie made.
That is the most exciting thing that can happen to a young woman in
a life, to actually become a living Disney Princess. To my
knowledge, I don't think that has ever happened before. Regardless
of who you are or if you like Disney movies or not, for a young
woman to actually get a movie made after her by the one movie studio
that supports the dreams of young women everywhere, you have to tip
your hat to her. But of course there are those people don't agree,
and that's fine, not everyone is going to agree with anything 100%
of the time. And of course, you have those people who don't know how
to voice those opinions in a proper way. One in particular actually
made it to the news:
Don't you just love when social media
is used to actually expose people for who they really
are? I mean how stupid can you really be when 1. you're
a scholarship athlete and 2. You know you're being
watched because of you being said athlete. Then you play
the same sport she does so you know someone is going to
pick up on that tweet quick. Well his school wasn't
having it and they quickly kicked him off the team, he
even issued a half assed apology. I just find it crazy
that you would call a young woman a slut in the first
place, and then criticize her for getting a movie made
about her. I could say that everything in this tweet was
just as misinformed as the player was, but that would be
an understatement.
Now most disagree with Ms. Davis and
her move to ask Bloomsburg to reinstate Mr. Casselberry,
and I'm one of them. But I do commend her for going out
of her way and trying to show forgiveness and take the
higher road here. I'm just glad Bloomsburg stuck with
their guns and kept Mr. Casselberry off the team. But
it's just crazy how someone could launch and unwarranted
attack against a young lady being good at a sport she
wasn't meant to play. Sadly this is just one of many
tweets directed towards Ms. Davis and the abundance of
ignorance plaguing this country. But none the less, you
can't stop the achievement of joining the Disney
universe for Ms. Davis, and I applaud her for being that
young role model out there, I am proud of her. Now I'm
just ready to see if she actually made some advancements
in that pitching arm of hers and see if she can go out
and win a title this year.
What do you think about Mo'ne Davis
getting her own Disney movie and being a role model for
young woman of today? Leave it in the comments below.
Until next time guys!
