As a Falcon fan, I was extremely disappointed when the Academy announced that Donald Hammond had lost his good standing as a cadet and is unable to play football until he regains his status. I want to add however that I am not disappointed in Donald Hammond. Yes, whatever he did that brought this about has resulted in a blow to his team’s chances at achieving its goals for the upcoming season. However, the standards of behavior at the Academy are very high and even the best of cadets can stray away from those standards. There will be no announcement about what happened to precipitate the loss of status.
