I Couldn't tell, but no worries.

The point here is that there are issues on that campus, and the current story is just part of the picture.

Sir that's clearly Michigan


I don't know if it's the colors they like, but Michigan and Notre Dame gear has been popular among the AA population in a couple of places I've lived. Don't know if it's universal or just something I noticed where I lived.

Sure. But he did say it. Tell me again young SJW- how is stopping use of the N word racist? It’s a dam word.

Totally agree. This should've been dealt with when it happened. Sweeping shite under the rug only makes things worse when it finally comes out.

How about you go say it at work in what you think is an appropriate way, with your boss standing there, and let me know what happens

This is so effing stupid- have you ever been on a football field? As a player and a coach I saw and did 1000 things I would never do or see done in an office. I say a lot of things with my drinking buddies I wouldn't say in the office as well.....you do to unless you are a total pu$$y.

Like it or not he wasn't with his drinking buddies or playing in a game as a 19-24 year old kid. He was at work, making at least a couple hundred grand, coaching at a major university. Right, wrong, or indifferent he is held to a higher expectation and standard.

You can't agree it's stupid that a 52 year old man doesn't know that letting certain words come out of his mouth in front of kids less than half his age could lead to it being misunderstood or misinterpreted? Everyone could have had a learning moment about not saying that and apologized to everyone and more than likely avoided this....3 years ago

Upvote from me. That is what Papa John said happened to him. He was responding to a hypothetical scenario and it was used against him. He got run out of the company he started. I like to bash Clemson as much as everyone else but this has gotten silly. if the word is so offensive no one should say it. It is so easy to call someone a racist when you don't even know them. But once labelled, they are on the defensive trying to prove they aren't. You can literally ruin their lives. So let's save the R word for people that demonstrably are and stop the character assassinations just because we don't like or agree with someone. If this is the incident the two individuals tweeted about they have too much time on their hands and malice in their hearts.

A coach says "I don't want to hear the word n***er again, thats enough". How can he be crucified on the alter of PC for racism when he was trying to stop it? This is crazy land

I wonder how many of you haters are the same people that supports Trump and covers for him every time he says or does something that is consider polarizing?

Hell, even the player that was the target of the coaches slur knows he fricked up because coach was busting his arse for using the very same word at another player.

The burden elite programs have to deal with. LSU, if you keep winning they'll come after you.
