Thats more or less been my point. You couldn't turn on ESPN today and not see people talking about Gundy, so it really takes a special level of dumb fuckery to say that today of all days. Shit exists outside the sphere of football. Even their coach eventually realized it, but nope, anyone with an issue is mad because a school in the middle of a cornfield has had five or so years of success.
He was referring to the Calhoun Honors College. "I knew the basics, but not the details. But I've learned. And I've listened." He didn't realize the strong feelings some had against the name Calhoun. He mentioned Hopkins and Watson. "They brought us a lot of joy. We should not expect them or our players to hear our cheers if we do not hear their cries."
Pretty telling the silence coming from Saban with this issue. A canned response through social media. All the bama posters in here pile on Coach Swinney while their coach sit silently complicit.
See when you're not a racist or a racist empathizer, you don't have to release a bunch of statements apologizing or clarifying what you previously said.
Its almost like a coach's first response worked and he didn't double down by mocking a movement with a t-shirt and have to admit fault after. Amazing what not being a dumb fuck from the get-go does. Jesus titty fuck do all of you have to be this fucking stupid?
Victim culture is sad. This upset over an innocent shirt that happens to be for a benevolent cause. What a joke. Dabo is as good as it gets as far as being a good human goes. We all know and agree black lives matter. No need to attack anyone and everyone not wearing black or a blm shirt. He was not wearing a shirt to the pool to make a political statement. This constant victim shit is pitiful
This whole forcing people to apologize who never realized they were doing something wrong (they weren’t) has gotten ridiculous. There’s plenty of people actually doing bad shit. There’s plenty of actual racists. Time is being wasted on those that are not which is a detriment to the movement. If you want to attack do so towards someone that deserves it.
Per Dabo In his 14 minute video, he told his players to be careful about attending protests because of the perception that their attendance could present, yet he wears that shirt with thinking about thinking about how it might look to people? That seems quite hypocritical.
I can see your confusion, but let me help you. It’s 2020. Latent racism, even when done unknowingly, is still as much of an example of “actual racism” as patent racism. Once you understand that, maybe you’ll see that is what “the movement” is all about, and you might just understand why those “ridiculous” apologies are appropriate.
Considering his past insensitive and ignorant statements, I felt I was giving him the benefit of the doubt that his decision to wear that shirt at all, but especially after recent events, was latent. But if you want to argue it was patent I could buy that too.
Started doing a farm-to-table type meal prep service for lunch this week and had meatloaf and sweet potatoes. Honestly, the meatloaf is some of the best I've ever had.
Saban is like 2,000x smarter than dabo. That's not a knock on dabo, god bless him, I guess, but he's not a deep thinker.
Dabo has fallen behind Fleshlights, pornhub, and Insane Clown Posse in terms of moral clarity and responsibility
I'm enjoying watching this hawk fella desperately try to somehow make this about Saban and Bama and it repeatedly fail to take off
There’s a faculty committee working on it so I expect something to get done. The J. Marion Sims dorm is changing imminently I’m pretty sure
Thurmond is a tough pull because people who are in power and would be involved with changing it probably voted for the guy, many even meeting him.
