This opinion sounds like the accusations are a fait accompli and has me feeling some kind of way...

Nothing in this article made this professor's signal accomplishment of writing a non-fiction book, which won the National Book Award, seem illegitimate, or completely a cautionary tale. He, like most professors I suspect, wasn't able to handle the administrative challenges inherent in getting 40+ millions in donations. So his 'reach exceeded his grasp'. He still wrote a seminal book on institutional racism, an accomplishment not now rendered illegitimate.

I get a real kick out of your switching seamlessly between correcting a factually challenged troll, and MLS fandom. 👍
