re: Auburn LB Chandler Wooten has opted to return to football in 2021

I never gave one thought the whether or not my teammates political ideologies were the same as mine.

I bet you would have if they were a complete moron and wouldn't shut up about it.

I agree.

Team sports is where that shite doesn’t matter. Personality means more in a locker room, not ideaology or social status.

Unfortunately, it does matter. We have a guy on the team currently - Tyler Fromm - who was affected by this. If you guys don't remember, his brother Jake Fromm (the UGA QB) was "cancelled" after someone leaked a "pseudo-racist" text message he sent. I know for a fact that that story trickled down to Tyler Fromm, even though it's absurd to implicate someone's sibling.

Didn’t Wooten sit out last year because he just had a kid?

---

He didn't sit out because of a damn virus he sat out because of his support for the BLM ideology.

---

His son was to be born in the middle of the season and he didn't want to risk anything happening to his family RE: Covid.


But sure Corch, go straight for the BLM stuff.

quote:

---

Don't call me out. He's the one that's been the moron on twitter. And he felt more at risk playing football or marching in the streets?

---

Well, considering you're regularly a moron on here and he actually has the balls to put his real name behind his actions, sure, I'll call you out.

As for felt more at risk playing football or marching in the streets, some things are bigger than sports in a person's life. For some, that might be racial injustice. For others, that could be perceived election fraud. And for others, the only thing that matters is football. Does that mean that one is more right than the others? Depending on who you ask, yeah, probably. But no one's mind has ever been changed by a well thought post from a differing opinion online.

So if he wanted to protect his family from a virus he should have stayed his arse at home instead of gathering in large groups of people. Kind of hard to have it both ways.

---

He did stay home. The baby was due in November, right in the middle of football season. His activism in protests took place in June/July. He wanted to make sure he was there for his family when his child was born. And considering that there was a major rise in cases this fall across pretty much every football team at every level, it appears he made the right choice so that he could be there when it mattered to him.

quote:

---

"cheering us on the field and killing us in the streets" ring a bell to you. He should have taken all that time he was posting on twitter about BLM he should have been posting about the virus and information about it since the Drs couldn't even figure it out maybe he could have shared some correct info.

---

There's a lot to unpack here. But I'm not going to change your opinion on anything at all by doing so, so I'll just say this: sorry you don't like what Chandler believes in.

quote:

---

Well I mean per his own words that you posted the BLM stuff played a role in his decision sooo...

---

One sentence about social injustice. The main reason being family.


What do you have against the Bureau of Land Management anyways?

It's the federal government and they frick up any kind of management.

I mean, I'm not gonna disagree with that.

Yeah I'm the moron in this situation. I post so much moronic stuff. I give opinions. Most of the time the turn out correct. Just because I don't follow group think doesn't make my post moronic.

We will see how it turns out for Chandler. I suspect life isn't fair to him in the future.

I am certain I have done more for Black lives in my lifetime then Chandler has or ever will.
