As far as paying players, professionalizing college athletics, that's where you lose me. There's enough entitlement in this world as it is.
Oh we’re back rehashing Dabo’s comments from around 2017 that he walked back a few years later timeisaflatcircle.gif
Coach Swinney is happy with the new NIL policy. After reviewing all of the information and data, Coach changed his mind. Not entirely different from how Kirby Smart changed his mind about being a member of the KKK. The coach at Notre Dame, for example, no longer forces students to die so he can get practice film. Change can be good.
Last august. I posted it in another thread. Now he was always for the full cost of attendance scholarship
Let’s face it, most college coaches are pretty horrible human beings. Dabo is one of those humans. It’s a group that is similar to billionaires. Show me a good one and I’ll show you the other 99%. Don’t take it personally Clemson fans, he is going to get more shit because he is at the top of the college football world, a religious weirdo, and also appears to be fucking stupid. Makes him an easy target for everybody else.
he also thinks very highly of himself/his takes. he could just shut the fuck up for once. just the worst combo
yea, Saban is a jackass as well, but everything he says seems to be calculated with some ulterior motive. Dabo just seems like an idiot. Either way, my coach is a gross human being and likes to party more than coach so ...
No, I don't think so at all. If you wanted to make the point that saying Dabo does "good" things is irrelevant to his "bad" things, that's easy enough to do. But you just changed tyger's defense and substituted a situation where a defense is unthinkable because of moral monstrosity with one where (whatever you think of Dabos position) that is not the case. It's just a bad analogy. Nbd Now if some of you do think the NcAa is a moral monstrosity but a just a few tiers down, that's fine, you just might want to stop supporting the evil system
I did this. You're about to get specific posts on wh your coach is worse because again, they sometimes lack nuance
Oh , did you just wash your hands of college football now or did you do it a while ago? I can't tell you what you should do but I would need something for my winter Saturdays.
I mean let's be honest. His being this much of an evangelical leads me to believe he has at some point participated in some terrible shit. I don't trust any evangelical
Oh an ethical consumption argument. Leaving that aside, is it your position that you can't criticize something you consume? It's a stupid argument usually thrown in to muddy the waters. Like what if I lied and said I don't watch college football, would my opinion mean more to you? Or are you just flailing for anything in here?
Sorry got very busy and aborted first attempt at reply. To answer your questions: Of course you can criticize something you can consume, never said otherwise. But if you are saying something is an atrocity and mocking someone for saying that supporting it is not in the same moral universe as covering up for an abuser, then yeah I'm gonna give you some shit if you are yourself a supporter. Basically calling bullshit.
Ok so yes you are saying you can't criticize it and this reads like a defense of what he said which I guess is always where we were headed
"What he said was bad but you shouldn't point it out. You should also stop watching cfb because what he said actually wasn't that bad."
If you make cloud berry think about more than one thing in the simplest form his brain locks up like he ate ice cream too fast.
People say Saban is a pos but the only thing I’ve every really thought he did that was shitty was give that UGA DT a chance to transfer after domestic violence issues. He was promptly kicked off the team after one strike, I think saban thought he could help the kid but still I don’t think that was a good decision. otherwise saban is pretty strict on the players and his expectations of them
Definitely. I was especially impressed at the restraint in waiting to do nothing to Courtney Upshaw until everybody decided his girlfriend deserved to be beaten up in public.
"This is as fine a young man as we have in the program," Saban said. "Really a great person, really works hard academically, we couldn't ask anyone to be a better representative of the organization. "He was put in a compromising situation and didn't handle it very well. He obviously made a mistake in how he handled the situation. I think nobody feels worse about it than he does. We'll obviously handle this internally." According to documents filed in court around 10:30 a.m., a UAPD officer was on patrol in the parking lot of the student recreation center. He saw Upshaw chasing Gryzb, who turned around and yelled at him, the officer said. "At this time, Upshaw grabbed Gryzb by the back of the neck and hair with his right hand, and pushed her downward in what appeared to be an attempt to push her to the ground," Officer Rusty Romine wrote. She freed herself from his grasp, the officer said, and tried to hit his face. Upshaw grabbed her by the forearm and pushed her away, the officer wrote.
