The Fab hate is sickening.

It's okay to be disappointed, and even mad. To direct your frustrations at a 22-year-old, born and raised in Brazil, is just stupid. When you rest your hopes and dreams on kids you have to be prepared for things like this.

Huh??

Not saying the "I hope you fail at life, Fab" posts are justified, but when he decided to wear the name of my alma mater on his chest and he's involved in making it a national joke...ya, I might not be thrilled with him.
 
I'd love to see any of us go to university in a place where it's our third language. I wish he worked harder, but it's at the very least understandable with Fab.

Family, Family, Family, Family

I keep saying it in away these players Coach Boeheim and this team become a part of our own family. And even as the players come and go the time that they are hear and root for them they do become a part of our family in away

Sorry he ruined your life with his decisions, but the two years he had here will be great for his future in basketball.
 
Look, these kids are NOT a part of your family. Do you honestly think Fab Melo gives half a about you? If he doesn't care enough to work hard for his teammates, who SHOULD be like his family, why the hell do you care so much about him? Have you ever met Fab Melo? Have you ever seen him anywhere other than on the basketball court?

He's a guy who has played for a team you support. That's as far as it goes.

Your failure to grasp the elementary concept of hear vs. here is mind boggling.
 
Hate is a strong word but Fab really let his team mates down. They have every right to be negative about him. Fans like us are another thing, not being always rational. I'm assuming that Fab just did not bother with going to class. Fab could easily avoided this by doing the minimum but he, apparently, did not even do that. He showed a total lack of respect for everyone associated with his team. That's what's most disappointing and is, perhaps, a glimpse into his character.

Agreed with this. He let his teammates and his coaches down. He didn't let me and you down.
 
Fab is not a quality person for multiple reasons.

Aren't you dramatic?
What does "ruined your life" mean? He didn't ruin my life. I hope he goes on to have a fine life.

I don't know the 22 year old MAN. I know he screwed over his team and his school, which happens to be my school.

Well, there WAS that time he slept with your wife and then framed you for murder and got you a life sentence.
 
No. Have you? If the answer is no, don't judge. You don't know isht.

Thanks you, Some ppl have just an emotional connection to the team its self and not the players. I have a emotional connection to the team and its players
 
You can have an emotional connection to the team and its players, but you don't have to blindly believe them to all be saints who deserve your forgiveness regardless. Do you still consider an like DeShaun Williams a part of your "family" too?
 
Toga hit the nail right on the head. While here, Fab harassed a girl. That was okay here. He destroyed someone elses property. That was okay here. He couldn't keep his grades up to a meager level. That was okay here. Now this. Well, it isn't okay.

Perhaps I'm not fully aware but... in the few interviews I heard with Fab, he seemed more than conversant in English. Irregardless, he had plenty of help and assistance at hand if he wanted it. I think he made his choice some time ago to stop doing anything academic and get ready for the draft. It's not understandable to bail on your team and your responsibilities- which he signed up for the minute he came to campus.

You got me on that. Deshaun you look up the term ass whole in the dictionary you a picture of him.

Who says he didn't work as hard as he could? You don't know what he put into it.
