PhatMack19 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I guess I haven't read what the President did wrong. Also every thing I've seen says "black football players" which could mean 1 third stringer or every black kid on the team which I doubt. Adding football players to their narrative just gets them more press. Quote
baddog Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Actually, the university should revoke their scholarships and send them packing. Blackmailers should never win. RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 I put this in the Ncaa News thread, might wanna go read. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 Actually, the university should revoke their scholarships and send them packing. Blackmailers should never win.I agree depending on what the President actually did. We don't really know the whole story. What kind of precedent does this set? Every time someone isn't happy, the football team just boycotts and gets their way. Quote

baddog Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 They were given scholarships to play football. The university is living up to their end of the deal. Players can protest on their own time. RETIREDFAN1 1 Quote
baddog Posted November 8, 2015 Report Posted November 8, 2015 What did the president do? A key part to this story that is being left out. Quote
TxHoops Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 What did the president do? A key part to this story that is being left out.From what I can gather, and the details appear sparse, there have been overt acts of racism on the campus. I think the discontent is over how it has been handled, or not handled perhaps. Inaction seems to be the complaint? Quote

PhatMack19 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Sounds like they might need to forfeit some games. I'm sure BYU doesn't mind them not practicing all week Quote
PhatMack19 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 I did see an article yesterday that made me laugh. It said that the president should be charged with murder if the guy not eating dies. I can't find the article or I would post it. The comments supporting the murder charge were numerous and pretty hilarious. It's hard to believe people actually think that way. Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 I'm all for social advocacy. Take a stand.People just need to know that it may impact their employment status if they don't go to work. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 There must have been a lot more to the story than what I got out of it.from what I gathered this morning was that he was being accused of way more than what the national media is putting out & there were students that had been protesting about incidents there long before this hit national headlines, and that came from media ppl in Missouri. Whatever it is I hope it gets fixed for the students sake anyway. Quote
