Mississippi State Transfer's Father ‘Didn’t Feel Comfortable’ With Mike Leach After Controversial Tw

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Mike Leach's controversial tweet last week caused him to lose Mississippi State defensive lineman Fabien Lovett to the transfer portal. Lovett’s father Abdual was part of the decision to leave and here's why his son left...

quote:
“I didn’t feel comfortable with my son being down there with a guy like that from a leadership standpoint — that you can just throw anything out there,” Abdual told the Clarion Ledger on Saturday. “I feel if he can do it, the kids are going to feel like they can do it.”

Man this tweet is so overblown. The noose had nothing to do with African Americans, racism, etc. it was just a tweet about being quarantined. We are way too sensitive as a society.

Don't even try to insinuate that people of other races were hanged as well

Mylsuhat- Seriously, you are not this ignorant of history. Hanging was the number 1 means of execution in America until around 1960. The vast majority of those hanged were whites.

I'm very liberal and still think it's ridiculous anyone would get offended by that tweet. Since quarantining has been a thing, people have made jokes about spouses wanting to kill each other. A noose is not inherently a racist image.

Fake News, a bunch of BS. This guy was leaving anyway. MSU switched to a 3 man front and he was going to be no better than 3rd at NG. His dad is just butt hurt that he slid down the depth chart with the coaching change.

Know why today's kids are sky screaming, victims? Because the parents are sky screaming victims. What a horrendous excuse to quit a job. Just man up and say it was not a good fit and you are moving on.

I was so mad when barack obama nominated a woman named Lynch to be attorney general. You would think he'd be more sensitive to the community. Lynch? Come on man

What's wrong with the tweet? How is that offensive?

Disgeaux Bob•49 months

Anything with a damn noose in it gives democrats the right to play the victim. Guess it’s time to burn all of the old spaghetti westerns.

the LSUSaint•49 months

Well, whites hang been hanged aince the Roman days and before. Why are we not triggered by a noose?

BIGJLAW•49 months

These types of kids never succeed in life.

“I feel if he can do it, the kids are going to feel like they can do it.” Great dad. Teach the kid to be a charmin soft perpetual victim instead.
