Bosworth was a kid when he did that. While it is likely the thing preventing him from being honored, his coaches are as much to blame for that incident as he is. They should never have let it happen. Kids get ideas about making statements all the time, but they don’t always get to go through with them because a rational, intelligent adult is there to guide them. Also, when kids DO get to do something stupid like that, it is on a much smaller stage. That is even more reason why the coaches should have had a better hold on his actions. Of course, back then, they got away with anything with guns and rape and drugs, so I'm not sure why they would care about a kid wearing a T-Shirt against an organization that had rightfully busted him. That and Bosworth’s arrogance, plus the outlaw perception of the whole program at the time is probably, collectively, keeping him out. A shinier personality from the same program in the same era would not be in the same boat.
