Yeah, we don’t want anyone to have a differing opinion. OAN has not been found guilty of being racist, bigoted, or anything even remotely like that. The fact is, they are not. If anything , they are one of the few News networks out there that doesn’t traffic in fake news. Russia collusion hoax anyone?
Last I looked, it’s a free country. Even at OSU. If those players don’t respect free speech and the rights of others to voice their opinion that may differ, then they should go to a school that limits speech to the conformed view. I would rather have honest players that respect the rights of others than people making false charges of racism, which is the real scourge in our society.
Saying OAN has a track record of de-legitimizing black issues is a complete lie. They do no such thing. It is just more fake news. Just to set the “record” straight.
I totally agree and good thing your not Boon or Porter or a football coach ext because you would be without a job for that opinion by the end of the day good sir. The hard part of reading or watching on tv is that I know I don’t get an honest opinion from anyone anymore. It’s Hilarious that 90% of white sports analyst and radio host thought that kneeling for the flag was showing disrespect lol but know you won’t here 1 single one of them say they still think it is. This is what social media does and can do in a week. Very dangerous thing we are dealing with here and I don’t think people are paying enough attention.
Note the player bagged on Mike, not the other way around. And if changes players want are based on lies, then yes, it very likely would be to the detriment of the country. You want an honest conversation, it should start with people being honest. Otherwise, it’s just more political witch hunt and nothing of substance will come from it.
Couldn’t tell if this was sarcasm. Nothing about these rules say respect. I mean I’m at a lost for words really! This is what we are trying to fix? These kids will never know the true meaning of respect. So sad man.
Any other points in my response you’d like to address? Because what you responded to is the least of concerns in this situation. It doesn’t matter if I think they’re racist or not and it doesn’t matter you think: what matters is what the players feel, what their experiences are, and how they think a network like OAN invalidates their experience. Again, perception and optics are huge here. You’re being naive if you think those aren’t important and it should be all about “honesty”. If you think Gundy can just run around like a goof and not care what his players think, then have fun cheering for a perpetually last place team in the league.
And we haven’t even broached the comments from former players, which is potentially more concerning than anything else.
It’s not about feelings. It’s about truth and honesty. Chuba is repeating a lie and spreading a falsehood. I’ll bet he has never even watched OAN.
And yes, I 'll cheer a last place team with honesty and integrity than a first place team that spreads racist lies, violence, and innuendo to support their “feelings”.
All things I cannot do in my workplace either. I don’t understand why these are issues or why the players get a say in it. If those are team rules, those are team rules. My wife was a college athlete and in her words, those players are on scholarship to play that sport for that team. Its a job and yes, it pays them, just not with money in their pocket today.
Wait…where did Chuba and the other players spread violence?
And, once again, that’s real sweet and a beautiful utopia you’re describing but it’s not reality. And clearly Gundy doesn’t believe so either, otherwise they wouldn’t have released that video.
Chuba really had me thinking that osu was heavily enriched in racism on campuse. But come to find out after almost getting his coach fired and ruining multiple other guys on the team a chance for success and countless other employees from the university. No it’s about getting to wear earrings and being able to sag your pants And listen to music that can have bad language and offend women ext. this is what Chuba calls real change! This kid is being so counterproductive for his people it’s not even funny. Those are demands from kids that still has milk on their lips. What the hell are we fighting for aging because they lost me. This kid needs to go and I mean in a hurry!
No. I have no affiliation with the Football team. You can believe that a lot of these rules are antiquated and needed to go without being on the team or related to someone on the team.
It also appears that Doug’s reporting is not wholly accurate. I believe there are additional meetings with the team that are going to happen as well, so all of the changes that will happen are probably not hammered out yet. I think changes that make black athletes feel more welcome at OSU are needed. Our recruiting pitch is not working to help us get better, and I think as regards these issues it is pretty telling that we haven’t landed any younger brothers recently.
