What's odd is this whole "we've never walked in his shoes so we can't judge him" attitude sounds far more UC-like than Stanford-like. Whatever happened to uncompromising standards? Would Sherman have been admitted to Stanford if that post-game rant were part of his application?
There are many good people who do bad things, but just because people to a lot of good, we don't as a society let bad deeds go unpunished. There many people in prison who have done many good things.
I was defending Winston's post-game interview against similar inane accusations. I just don't think this is a big deal either way.
Also, I've definitely previously posted that I'm ambivalent about him, but I think this reaction is seriously overblown.
