Look, Chubba has since apologized, and in that apology he essentially admitted everything I and others complained about. It's hard to know if these apologies are ever sincere, but it does sound like he wrote it himself. 

He understands what I've been trying to explain... they aren't powerless and haven't been for a long time. They're some of the most talented people in the country playing in one of the most influential organizations on the planet. Gundy most likely explained this to him which broke the spell of this social madness going on right now. If they destroy each other, neither can accomplish any of their goals... professional or cultural.

Chubba got caught up in this frenzy, and in that frenzy broke every rule that's ever been created about keeping it in the clubhouse. He also threw an insult at the one guy outside of his family that would be his strongest public defender. 

As I've mentioned before the NFL players could've affected change a long time ago as well. Let's just assume at first it was only black NFL players who spent their offseason in different cities organizing marches, and signing people up, etc. Before you start assuming it was only 'the system' that kept them down, just go ask them all why no one stepped up to that challenge. Kneeling for a few mns prior to a game doesn't count. I'm talking about the hard work it takes to make an actual movement happen. 

So to assume someone like me isn't excited about positive change is an unfortunate assumption. I just don't think we have to destroy ourselves and burn everything down in the process. 
I disagree. I believe from this article that Gundy is the one in trouble.


'It's about way more than football.' OSU football uprising not just about Mike Gundy's T-sh

57% approval for BLM. That's why schools need to listen to their players.

The survey, conducted June 9 and 10, found that the mass protests have triggered a sea change in perceptions of race in America. In 2016, just a quarter of Americans (27 percent) told YouGov that they approved of Black Lives Matter; today, 57 percent say they have a favorable view of the movement.

If you think that apology looked sincere, I don’t know what to tell you. Go look at his body language. Hands folded, stone cold look. Gundy finished and point to him as to say read the script. I do not think he wrote that himself and I again doubt this is over for Gundy because he never apologized. Are you serious?? You really think Gundy broke some spell?? You do realize he didn’t apologize for what he said?? He meant that. He said he should have went to Gundy. Hahaha you think Gundy sold him on we need each other to get things done? 1) Chubba will be drafted no matter what. Gundy ran to the camera because he realized that he cannot keep his job without the talents of African American players. 2) Gundy supports OAN. Chubba obviously knows what they stand for or what he believes they stand for. So you think he is going to believe the man who supports them will be on his side for the change needed? Wow. The one guy outside his family who would be his biggest public defender?? Is that fact?? I mean I don’t know that & neither do you. Man you are really needing to stop talking. NFL players could have affected change?? Every time I’ve seen players step up, they were told to stick to sports. Funny now it’s well you should have seen speaking up sooner. And the nerve of you to talk like you know what these players are doing in their communities. And to try to talk like Kaepernick only kneeled when he as doing so much more in communities years ago, it shows you have you don’t know what you are talking about. 
 

Sorry I gotta say based off previous posts and the ridiculous hot garbage you just posted, especially about what black players could have done... I don’t think you care a bit about what’s going on. Sure you may say it online or when talking to someone. But I will keep my assumption. You are talking about spells and frenzies like these players are too dumb or naive to make rationale decisions with everything going on. And who’s burning everything down? People are just putting people on notice that the status quo isn’t gonna fly anymore. If you want to go into the homes of black families and speak to them to get those young men to come play for you so that you can make millions, those young men have a right to know what you stand for & if it’s something they want to be associated with. It’s that simple. Sometime shows you who they are, believe the first time. 
You tend to judge people a lot. 

 
You tend to judge people a lot. 
Actually no I don’t. With the people I have been going back & forward on here with. I think one person I’ve actually had a private message with. Listen to his stance and told mine. Didn’t really judge him & was open to what he said. Another one told me how he felt. I told him I take him at his word... so please show me where I tend to judge people a lot?? You had the  nerve to try to talk like a player was duped by BLM to go against his coach. The coach had to break the spell. You then talked about players not acting earlier. And how kneeling wasn’t anything. 1) The kneeling was symbolic and it got everyone talking about issues and it was supported by many African Americans, so you don’t know anything there. 2) Kaepernick did so much with his time & money outside of kneeling. So you don’t know what you are talking about there. You’re right I am judging you based on what you are putting out there. The assumption I have comes from your words. Sorry if you did a bad job of representing who you are. But I’m just some guy on the internet so my assumption doesn’t really matter to your life. Just like you’re idiotic stances don’t matter to me & likely not to any of the players taking a stand against the injustices we face.

Do you have me mixed up with someone else? You are attributing things to me that I'm quite certain I never said.

Yes I do have you mixed up with someone else. Kinda confused since you responded to me responding to a person and told me I judge people a lot. But the question still stands for you or him. So me where I judge people a lot?? And if you want you can CC him my response to you if he wonders why I have the assumptions I have toward him. Thanks. 

 
I think saying "they don't understand" is a bit naive.  I believe they are well aware of the history of the U.S.  They have generations that have lived it and have passed knowledge down.  Kudos to the players for requesting changes and kudos to CDC for making a positive statement about it.  At least he is willing to listen.  Reading his twitter, that is a pattern that I've seen from him.
Our youth today have the worst understanding of history of any generation in the last 100 years. We teach the history that makes us politically comfortable these days. We don't just teach it, we judge it as we're delivering it to students. So it more or less qualifies as programming. I'm thankful that shit was never forced on me.

 
 The POTUS has said anti-Semitic things. He has said racist things. 
People do absolutely have that right. But when you draw a line over someone's private political views, you deserve to the laughed at.

Hornsup, I know you will decline my request here because I truly feel that you will fail – but Can You Provide One Instance Where Trump Has Been Anti-Semitic? Or racist, for that matter.

Just one?

Here Are 13 Examples Of Donald Trump Being Racist

Have any of you looked up "The Eyes Of Texas", it's origin and why the players brought it up?  There was an article posted here about it.  I think if you read it you would, at the very least, understand why removing it as the school song is an issue...

Here's the article:

https://www.burntorangenation.com/2020/6/12/21289783/eyes-of-texas-alma-mater-racist-history-texas-longhorns
Here's another article.

For those that read the history lesson referenced above, it's readily apparent that the song was intended as a satire of the UT President and his repeated use of the phrase "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You". There is zero evidence that the song was ever intended or used as a form of racism.
