Starting to hear rumors it’s over the police interaction and a lot of the black players on the team(which is most of them) are not happy. they feel like Pittman didn’t have their backs when he should have or something. I know there’s more to it than that because I don’t see Pittman as being that guy, but does anyone have more info?

Imo, comes down to if he saw the video or not. I doubt he had the video when he suspended them.

He was wrongfully arrested and Pittman punished him. Body cam footage showed the bullshite nature of the arrest. Tough position for Pittman

He probably didn't. But if he saw the video and still didn't have their backs or didn't support them despite the bullshite arrest, then yeah i could see where he would want to leave.

Agreed. I feel like he'd be the type who would. He definitely keeps things close to the vest.

Pittboss should have waited


Innocent until proven guilty, and I'm not suspending my kid until you can show what he did


the cop who ran up on Anthony is a fricking piece of shite, and his other cohorts (supervisor, chief, whoever) who tried to coach each other into getting their bullshite story straight are pieces of shite


the "Slusher deal" is I'm rooting for Slusher 100% and I hope he gets a lawyer that jerks a fricking thousand knots into the Fayetteville brass who did this shite

watch the fricktard mayor come out and apologize, only after the heat gets too hot

If your standard is to suspend anyone who is arrested for anything, then you suspend them… you don’t say wait, he is a starter and black like 99% of the other starters? Let’s not do anything.

Alabama player smashed a girl after the UT game, on live tv, how many games he get suspended?

All Saban said was we are gathering information on the facts of what happened.

Never got suspended.

Had Pittman said the same this never gets this far because as we’ve all seen, there are two sides to the story.

So once again Arkansas gonna Arkansas, we can’t help but step on our own dicks. Hopefully the kiero small hire helps us not completely lose all the brothers on the team.

Cool. Is that Sam’s policy? To wait or is it to suspend?

Looks like it is to suspend.

Cop was a dick for targeting slush but at the same time if a cop tells me to stay off the street I’m going to stay off the street.

Pitt didn’t have to suspend him but at the same time you don’t want some Goerge Floyd bullshite distracting the team either.

so you didn't even see the video

don't say you did, because you didn't



the cop targeted Anthony


if a cop tells you what, you're going to what? really?


there were 50 kids in the middle of the street and the cop went after Anthony for being two feet from the curb

I don’t think so. I don’t think the cops technically did anything wrong. It just should have been handled better. Don’t think it had to be escalated like that.

Exactly. The cop went hands on and escalated the whole thing to a level it never should have gone. Then they overcharge because they went hands on when they didn't have to.

As far as Pittman's part in it, I see him between a rock and a hard place. look at the heat Saban took for not suspending his player. He probably shouldn't have suspended them, but had he seen the video? I don't know what Pittman has said about the episode, but I don't think an apology is necessary. he could have made a statement saying had he seen the video, he would not have suspended the players.
