You're right! There is no place for racism!

Matt Stanford writes about trespassing (twice) and how he felt the person confronting him when caught the second time wasn’t polite enough...

He wrote, "The only difference is what we all know in our hearts. Danny and I are white. We don't get the cops called on us in those situations. We don't immediately get called uncooperative. And even if Danny and I somehow did get the cops called on us, we all know how that interaction would've gone."

I think I understand now why Stafford has never won anything. What an emotional pussy.
Ever think the first time you showed up to the field it was two people and the second time it sounds like you brought at least 5 people...maybe the owner of the field didn’t want you bringing the entire team next time without even asking?

- Matthew Stanford stories
- Jack Frommkins text messages
- Justin Fields transfer
- Jamie Newman leaving
Seems like a toxic tradition at UGAy. But hey, at least they have some spikeys on their new unis!

Don’t try to suppress your ugly ways.

Flowers explained what he does if he is ever pulled over by police and how "he copes with the anxiety" of any dealings he has with law enforcement.
"Trey was explaining that if he were to ever get pulled over in his car -- something that I have experienced many times without even thinking twice about it -- he would roll down his window, put both hands on the wheel and ask the officer if he would like him to step out of the car so he can handcuff him," Stafford wrote.
"Just so that he is not seen as a threat. Just so the officer can't say, 'Oh, he was reaching here, he was reaching there.' ... Just so he makes it back home.
Trey was a hog and I have nothing but positive thoughts of him while he was here. I do hate he feels as described above. But I also think we’ve got to stop perpetuating the idea that the whole wide world of cops are out to get the black man. That’s not denying racism or saying that cops are all fabulous untouchable people but just keeping it real.

Not seeing where he trespassed at all but I don't think the story is complete.Dont see how he couldn't have made a few calls to get the situation resolved
Stafford showed up to the same field with the same permissions, this time with four Black teammates, and was told to leave.

I dont have a problem calling out racism when it occurs.
I'd like to ask, how bad is it when the example of racism is about 13 years old. But call it out. I have no issues with that.

Can someone go find his posts during the Justin Fields controversy to confirm this claim?

Damn, sounds a lot like what I, a white male, do when I'm pulled over.
Although asking the officer if he'd like me to step out so he can handcuff me sounds dumb as hell and I seriously doubt this guy does that.
