Does it send the wrong message to student-athletes when Dabo
Jul 20, 2016, 11:29 AM
|
|
disgraces the English language by saying things like, "he ain't back yet"?
What if parents of prospective recruits read that?
C'mon Coach, you can do better!

No. Didn't miss these either. 
"ain't in senses 1 and 2 is flourishing in American English"
"Our evidence shows British use to be much the same as American."
"Most people who use ain't use it especially when they are talking in a casual way"
Flourish:
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/flourish
: to grow well
: to be very successful : to do very well
: to grow luxuriantly : thrive
: to achieve success : prosper
: to be in a state of activity or production
^ Which would mean it is widely used in casual talk (like an informal media day), not uncommon.
Then there's this point:
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/ain-t
"As a substitute for am not, is not, and are not in declarative sentences, ain't is more common in uneducated speech than in educated, but it occurs with some frequency in the informal speech of the educated, especially in the southern and south-central states. "
Considering he's from Alabama...now lives in South Carolina...

Of course not! It only takes 10 seconds to realize that Dabo is a very smart, well spoken individual. One of his greatest qualities is that he is a player's coach. He knows when to speak proper English and when not to. If that is your only gripe then I think Clemson football is in excellent shape! Go Tigers!
