Time For The Truth


The news has officially been leaked to the media. The news that a certain player was part of the Duke basketball team has been uncovered as a complete hoax. He was too busy running his mouth over his accomplishments that soon people started looking into the truth. Research was done and the truth was unveiled. The player, Mitch Dubin, could face laundering charges that could result in up to two years in prison. The likely outcome will be 100 hours of community service on the low end to 90 days in jail on the high end. His court date is yet to be announced.

Dubin, a “freshman” baseball player at Beloit College, claims that he played a year at Duke before transferring to smaller Beloit College.

“He sports that [Duke] jacket like he went there or something. Then he told me that he did. I had no idea.” These words came from sophomore utility man Michael Eastburn about Mitch’s Duke jacket that he wears everywhere. “Not only did I find out he wasn’t on the basketball team at Duke, I also found out that he didn’t even go to the school at all.”

Dubin is just one of many players who have a dream of playing at a big-time program. Unlike other players, he took the process one, or two, or three steps too far. By announcing he played for Duke, people started digging for facts. When it was uncovered that Dubin lied about his Duke experience, he lost a lot of credibility among his Beloit teammates. Although Dubin evaded the media, I’m sure he doesn’t have much to say on the issue.

We’re hoping for an official apology from Mitch in the near future. Until then ladies and gentlemen, Mitch Dubin is a complete liar and disgrace to the game. Let this be a lesson to younger players to have a dream and go for it—not make it up.
