Even Maurice Clarett has a blog
Yes, you read that correctly. Maurice Clarett, the former Ohio State University football star, has a blog.
Like most of the people who made comments, I was skeptical at first. But there’s no ghostwriter — it’s Clarett, who according to the Columbus Dispatch, dictates the entries to relatives who post them on his blog.
Here’s an excerpt from a post on March 4:
Incarceration is a huge inconvenience in anyone’s life. It has inconvenienced me in the area of having a personal relationship with my little girl. Instead of sitting back and just accepting the reality of me being locked away as an easy excuse not to reach out, I decided to become creative and write my own words of wisdom to her. I write weekly letters to her describing and explaining specific situations to her that I encounter. Then, I give her specific suggestions of how to potentially overcome the situations I know she will likely face in her lifetime. I describe to her how her mother and I keep our relationship strong from a distance. I enlighten her on the importance of a family structure. I advise her that she should look for friends that are like-minded, positive, and those who really enjoy life. I tell her that those mentalities are contagious. I’m not interested in letting popular culture raise my daughter. It will be a joint effort with both of her parents.
