Florida withdrew the scholarship of committed 2023 quarterback Marcus Stokes on Sunday after a controversial video of Stokes stating a racial slur surfaced via social media on Friday.

In the video, Stokes can be seen in a car and heard saying "welcome back," followed by the slur.

If it’s that offensive then they should pull scholarships of all players who listen to those songs. After all, silence is violence.

Leaves me SMH.

Not defending him (though he really did not do anything wrong) but to lose a scholarship over this is just ridiculous.

Just my opinion though.

The fact he broadcasted it is probably the main reason, these kids don’t need to live their lives on Live

Pull the scholarships from all UF players who use that word.

I’m an open minded person, but even I think that’s absurd

Would not have happened if they had not flipped Rashada.

Surely they’re pulling the scholarships of all athletes that use it in the locker room too or during games, right? Right..? No? Didn’t think so.

Slippery slope here for the gators. Not the hill to die on, I don’t think.

Sure that wasn't just an excuse to pull a scholarship after his senior season?

Stokes has accounted for 1,127 passing yards, seven touchdowns and eight interceptions on 50% completion during his senior campaign

Meanwhile, they have a basketball arena that was named after an admitted segregationist.

I’m sure he’s heartbroken to not have to go get beat by Vandy now.

Ironically a quick Google search tells me this kid is doing everything possible to join the Black culture, if anything his offense is that he's trying too hard.

I get that it’s different circumstances, but how many times/players say that while rapping a song that is blaring in the locker room every single day before and after practice?
