Fun interview with Ty at the NFL rookie thing.
quote:
Sports Illustrated: Ty, I’m going to give you a quote that you said at your introductory news conference with the Rams. You said, “I guess I’m like a redneck in Los Angeles.” Why did you say that and do you still feel a little out of place out here?
Ty Simpson: Well, I said that because I’m a kid from rural west Tennnesee, in Martin, who grew up on just hunting and fishing, and wearing boots and jeans, and then coming to L.A., having a different lifestyle. Also, I went to Alabama, which is about as redneck as it gets, and then coming to L.A. was like a culture shock. I feel like I’m fitting in pretty good, but I still believe that I’m a redneck in L.A.

Alabama is not redneck.
Alabama is preppy as shite.
I get what Ty is saying, but lets be real.
Nothing about college is redneck.

I hate, HATE, that he is perpetuating that stereotype.

Yeah I mean, beyond the fact that Alabama is the business/law school with elements of medical it just doesn’t really jive with the reality.
Like even if you want to say it’s the state university of a place that is stereotypically “redneck” UA is majority out of state students.
Ty just says shite though. He obviously doesn’t think of it as a bad thing as he says he’s one.

Half the school is from California, Texas, Arizona, Illinois, and New Jersey/New York these days by the plates I see around campus every day.
