And after 50 years it comes to an end. As I expected, the University, the coaches and the team have chosen to be a part of the lie. So long dawgs

quote:

“I firmly stand against racism of all kinds,” Smart wrote on Twitter after his death. “I realize that I feel this differently, but I am hurting for the young black men on my team, I am hurting for the black men on our staff. I cannot imagine the agony, grief and fear that our black communities feel today and every other day.”

Smart says he is committed to being part of the fight for racial equality in America.


Supporting these thugs who resisted arrest and were felons. The last one raped his wife but the Dawgs are going to march for the lie.

This seems like it could possibly be a bit of an overreaction. Giving up on 50 years of fandom because you a disagree with one statement/action coming out of the program is a pretty bold move.

But to each his own I guess.

Unless you end your life (I'm not advising that) you won't be a life long fan if you quit now.

Adios quitter.

Look I don't agree with the narrative either. I think it is way overblown. There are a lot of cops in this country...a lot of them are assholes...some even racist arse holes. That's true. What's also true is they have an impossible job. They have split seconds to make a decision that could change their life forever...sometimes they make the wrong decision. These guys not complying....even if you think the cops are profiling or just fricking with you, are also to blame too. Don't put yourself in that position... should be obvious.

That being said, if these players want to exercise their right to march and protest for issues they perceive as important, who am I to judge. I just hope they don't cross the line of wanting police reform to saying every white dude is racist and needs to apologize. That's the shite that will be a last straw to me. Don't paint a whole race as problematic based on a few cops.

You have to understand that nobody in that picture probably knows more about all of this than the mainstream narrative. They may truly believe that they’re at risk every day they leave the house of getting shot by a policeman.

Smart also has to do the right thing for the University and UGA. I fully believe he’s being sincere...but even if he didn’t believe any of this he couldn’t say that.

Also, he spoke directly to caring how the players feel and nothing overly political. He may have elsewhere but nothing over the top I’m sure.

I don't see anything wrong with Kirbys words.

And I dont support BLM the organization.

There is (and should be) a lot of nuance to the discussion. Publicly claiming that one is against racism of all forms is a good thing.

I bet you excuse kids as being impressionable kids when they get caught riding mopeds without a license, drinking underage, driving while intoxicated, etc.

This is no different. And you think the coaches have any choice? If they stand against any of this, they will be crucified and our recruiting and program as a whole will take a major hit. They are playing the long game. This shite will pass eventually and they know this. Until then, they have to publicly toe the line.

I’m still in until I see the name of a rapist or someone who held a gun to a pregnant mothers stomach plastered on that red and black uniform. Then I’m frickin out.

If you can’t in good conscious watch the games I can’t talk you out of it. But let’s be honest, if you’ve been watching football for this long you’ve tolerated a lot of things worse than BLM.

UGA has a better track record than a lot of teams on this stuff but there is no doubt over the years you’ve rooted for people who have been violent toward women, driven drunk repeatedly, cheated academically etc.

Seems like you’re putting politics on too much of a pedestal if you tolerated all the other stuff but are just now not ok with the behavior of college athletes.

Either way, I’ll still be getting fired up for America’s oldest state school playing ball in America’s finest college town. How sweet it is!

Like the other guy said, later gator

54 years here. They want to support those who will burn our flag and cities. It seemed appropriate to burn everything I owned with a G on it today which I did. I'm done with UGA and everything they stand for. It was a long time coming, but this was the last straw. I only hope I live long enough to watch them reap what they have sown.
