Sports: Mo’Ne Davis Asks Bloomsburg University to Reinstate Baseball Player Who Called Her a Slut

 

Mo’Ne Davis is a rising star and an inspiration to young girls everywhere.  The Little Leaguer made headlines as many watched her throw fastballs throughout the playoffs.  She then dazzled us again during the 2015 NBA All-Star Celebrity game where she put a nice spin move on Kevin Hart.  She appeared in major magazines including Vogue and the cover of Sports Illustrated.  With her growing celebrity Davis also collaborated with M4D3 (Make A Difference Everyday) to start a sneaker line to help eradicate child poverty which mostly affects young girls.  On top of all that, Davis also scored her own Disney movie, a biographical film titled “Throw Like Mo.”  Apparently not everyone was happy about her big moves as a college baseball player called her a “slut”.  He was immediately thrown off the team.  And although he didn’t show kindness toward Davis, she showed she was the better person.


Mo’Ne Davis told “SportsCenter” on Monday that she wrote an email to Bloomsburg (Pennsylvania) University asking officials to reinstate Joey Casselberry, a junior first baseman.
“Everyone makes mistakes,” Davis said. “Everyone deserves a second chance. I know he didn’t mean it in that type of way. I know people get tired of seeing me on TV. But sometimes you got to think about what you’re doing before you do it.
“It hurt on my part, but he hurt even more. If it was me, I would want to take that back. I know how hard he’s worked. Why not give him a second chance?”
While Bloomsburg says it respects Davis’ opinion and praised her for being incredibly mature about the situation, the school told TMZ Sports that it will not reinstate Casselberry, saying, “Right now we’re standing firm.”
