I usually abstain from commenting on Wilson articles, but there is a line in the Freeman article that strikes close to home so I have to bring it up:

I personally choose to believe the Golden Tate story, as do most people I've talked to about it. I have no proof that this true, and the people I know that are closer to him than I am have been close lipped about it, but it makes for the best story at least.

I went to highschool with Russell, and I can say from that angle it is unequivocally NOT OK to hate him. If I did, I think I would be disowned by everyone that I know. He is the GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN in the West End of Richmond, VA.
