I still have my student email. I guarantee you by the morning there will be an email from Young. He sent one yesterday over DACA. I kid you not

I don't necessarily think it's Mrs Sumlin but the letter is weird regardless. If you're crazy enough to write a letter like that in the first place and mean it, I would expect more to it. The correct usage of 'you're' makes me skeptical of it being a redneck racist too but that's just my prejudice thinking racists wouldn't be smart enough for that or even controlled enough for the handwriting.

Maybe it happened here, maybe it didn't. I don't know how you can ascertain that just from looking at what was posted though.


It looks sketchy but I won't say it is fake. I sure as hell won't assume it's real either after seeing countless false flags.

In high profile cases like this it needs to be a damn priority to get to the bottom of it.
People that would do this need to know they'll be discovered, and people who would fake it need to know they'll face the exact same consequences. Both are ridiculous and just as likely, and they drag us all down with them

This.

It seems like the entire purpose was to use the N word. No other vulgarity to be found. "You suck" and "get lost", comes off like a soccer mom

Pointed out in first couple of pages, but wife's a moron.

I'd bet money that every failing coach gets letters like this, and every failing black coach (Charlie Strong) has the N-word thrown at him.

But neither those coaches nor their wives would fricking tweet about it.

Damn, three hours after this breaks, aggy is still spinning.

The damage is done, Daniel! Your only hope is to remove your Confederate statue and disband the Corps of Cadets, both bastions of white supremacy.

Edit: And a Sumlin contract extension.

Ok, which LSU fan owns this alter? This posting style is WAY off script.

The address is from Houston Country Club why? If you are a member would you give this clue to its origin if you are sending this to sumlin? Not likely.

Are board of regents or big boosters from Houston members of the club? Yes possibly, so it would be not beneficial to have the address on the envelope if real, but very much so if a fake.

Seems contrived to me, but will probably never know.

Whether they fabricated it or not, this was done deliberately to frame anyone with legitimate criticisms of Kevin Sumlin's futile coaching ability as racist. This actually makes me respect Charlie Strong a lot more. At least he and his wife didn't go out of their way to make their employer look bad even after they were unceremoniously dumped.

Not going to go down that road. No need to.

1) There are drunken racist idiots in every fan base.

2) They don't represent the whole fan base.

3) This gives the racist writer EXACTLY what he wants.

4) This needlessly makes life harder for everyone associated with A&M.

Tell the authorities, let them handle, and chew on whether you want to tell the world about this for a few days.

Goddamn twitter and the idiots who use it.

People try too hard. If you want it to seem real act like you are covering your tracks.

What does he want?

^ If he's a fan I doubt he wants this.



And if he wants Sumlin gone:

LINK ]Editorial: Forget football, letter to Kevin Sumlin is just racist garbage
quote:

We don't know who wrote it and we probably never will, but without hesitation we say this person does not represent Aggies or Aggie fans. Coach Sumlin and his family are part of the Aggie family. An attack of this nature on them is an attack on all Aggies. We stand shoulder to shoulder with them, football games be damned.



So whoever got what they wanted got:
-we stand shoulder to shoulder with Sumlin, football games be damned
-sparked a discussion that casts a negative light on the white community.
-and as you said, life harder for everyone at A&M


I don't imagine these are things a racist white aggie football fan wants. Sounds like something professional race agitators would want.



50/50 odds? Devote some resources to this and let's get to the bottom of it.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but judging by all the smearing of the ink in the letter the person that wrote it appears to be left handed as they would have dragged their hand across the newly written ink. The person taking the picture of the letter also appears to be left handed as the left hand appears to be darker therefor it's the one holding the camera taking the picture. I'm not saying it's fake just pointing something out that I noticed.
