The modern day “news media” will run with any story that helps cause racial strife and division. All of our coaches need to walk on eggshells while they communicate with any and all of our student athletes. That point needs to be pounded into their craniums.

The players have to realize that they are only hurting themselves by not working out. I can understand them being pissed off, but why get mad and protest my hurting yourself?

Assistant coach said, "what is this, the back of the bus"
Apparently, she wants him (or her) fired.

Most every team will have players report with positive covid-19 results. Truth is, for young and fit people, it's irrelevant for them beyond the danger of spreading it to vulnerable people. How teams isolate positives, practice, test, etc is going to be huge. How many teams will try to hide positives on game day for their star players? Can schools choose their testing methods or will the SEC and NCAA perform their own tests so that the system can't be worked around? Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out.

I've said all along that this season will be an absolute clusterfrick if they try to play it. Basically none of these athletes are in any danger from the virus, and most will probably be asymptomatic. But given how it spreads, there is a real potential to have someone pick it up and spread it to their entire position group before anyone even knows. So what happens in week 2 or 3 when your entire QB room ends up testing positive, with nobody having symptoms? They're perfectly able to play, but likely won't be able to due to potential public backlash. So what do you do? Forfeit the next 2 weeks? Move a RB to QB and get run off the field?

Does anyone know if Will Anderson's grandparents survived?

It's a concern. I almost just wish they would treat it like the flu. Players play with the flu all the time. They only sit out when their symptoms won't allow them to perform. Michael Jordan's most iconic moment is him playing through the flu and winning a huge game. Who cares if it spreads to other young, healthy, elite athletes who will never even know they have it? Just keep the players isolated from fans, etc and let them play ball.

His grandmother wasn't hospitalized, but his gradfather was on a respirator. I asked Charlie Potter of BOL. Charlie's reply: "I actually talked to Will's mom this week, and she was happy to report her dad is doing much better and is finally in rehab."

Not according to him

And the report made it sound like administration gave it a cursory investigation and blew it off.
It was investigated by 3 different objective organizations: Office of Equal Opportunity, Title IX Programs and the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
By her own admission she was even being alienated by other African-American teammates. Which leads me to believe there's something a little more personal on her part as an individual.

And they really can't do much to an employee for a stand-alone incident like that that was tasteless, but far from harassing or threatening. Trying to paint the entire athletics department as racist because of a failure to come down hard on an employee over an incident like that is kind of ridiculous. It would be one thing if that coach had a pattern of that sort of behavior and had dozens of complaints filed against him/her by athletes or colleagues, but that doesn't appear to be the case.

Yea, it was a poor attempt at humor. Not sure what she’s wanting here.
Posted on 6/4/20 at 3:56 pm to Cobrasize
Agree with all the above. It's just the optics never look good and in the current climate of recent events, you just don't want or need that stuff out there.
Posted on 6/4/20 at 4:14 pm to Robot Santa
Agreed. The punishment and consequences should be directly proportional to the incident.
A tasteless, and yes racist, joke doesn't warrant firing. From what I understand there was some type of admonishment. It could have included suspension for a period, I don't know.
But the aforementioned African-American teammates told her that "we've all moved forward...you've become a distraction."
None of us were there but these were her own words. It seems there was something more there on her behalf. We've only heard her side.
The gymnasts themselves released a group statement pretty much saying no one is perfect but they're tight-knit.
