How do you know the kind of job his has done parenting? What are you basing this good or bad parenting on?
You sound like a maniac.

the burden of proof is on you. youre the one shyting on his parenting. I just see a guy that has raised 3 kids, built a brand off his family name, was around them growing up, etc.. I dont know what goes on in that household, neither do I know what goes on with his decisions. I just think its unfair to criticize these moves when you dont know what conversations have taken place within the family dynamic. basically, you cant tell a grown man how to raise his kids.
I didn't claim he was a bad parent. You said he was a good parent.
I said it was silly to think this is good for Gelo by any measurement.
and youre assuming he didnt want to be there. kids dont value shyt. then they look back decades later and wish they did. how many do-nothing with their lives folks would kill to take advantage of an opportunity like a free education at ucla? pretty much all is the answer. the parent is supposed to be the one that knows the value of things like an education. instead this doofus is removing his kid from that chance because his feelings were hurt. "work in the family business" like something like athletic shoes and apparel industry isnt volatile as fukk, and might not even be around in a decade. then what? fall back on handouts from your brother?

every kid isnt equal. this isnt some kid from a disadvantaged background. he was literally at UCLA to play ball, thats it. education isnt an end be all
youre way behind the eight ball without one inthe current job landscape. throwing away a free education for your kid as a parent is absolutely moronic. keep spinning though. good luck doing much of anything post 2017 without a degree

Lowkey CA has the best public universities of any state and several good options to choose from
This is dumb of Lavar, every one in the family don't have to play ball. LiAngelo could have went to school even got a MBA maybe and tried to be the Maverick Carter of the family. Not sure if Lavar is doing all the business ops for the business or someone is helping them behind the scenes but it wouldn't hurt to have some one classically trained to help run the family business
Race Politics! These cacs didn't want him there. His dad didn't thank "Emperor Trump" for doing nothing for him. so they made him a example. Think about this.. if they allowed him to stay at UCLA then all the black players that were kicked out for drug possession, NCAA violations like taking money under the table etc would come out the woodwork calling UCLA for their BS. Can't have that. If he was white? they would hang his number on the rafters. You don't see Ryan Lochte banned from Florida for what he and his bros did in Brazil.
To keep it 100, I live in LA, alot of black folks was/is mad at them dudes for shoplifting in China as well. Alot of black callers were callin' in on sports radio pissed off at Gelo and the other two when that shyt first jumped off and they were stuck in China. Nobody likes stupid shyt/idiot like that. And yeah them white alumni and boosters are pissed too. They'll never forgive those three for that shyt no matter what they do. This is a good move imo. All three should transfer asap. As for Lavar's plans for Gelo

again. this isnt some normal kid. he the brother of a NBA player on a 30m contract and he's already part of a somewhat popular reality show. education doesnt hold the same value for him as it does to normal folks. you think the Kardashians gave a fukk about education? you think Jaden smith gave a damn about college? it aint the same for everyone.
