re: Why are some Alabama fans behaving like massive hypocrites?

So driving around with a gun is illegal, irresponsible, and/ or morally wrong now?

Better lock up half the state of Alabama.

If the point of this thread is to highlight the fact that some Alabama fans and you and most other LSU fans are hypocrites, then I agree with you.

The funny thing is, the post I made about Kelly that he referenced was to point out a LSU fan being a hypocrite about the Hugh Freeze hire

How was the LSU being a hypocrite?

Everything he said was factual.

Your statement was not factual.

quote:

---

The head football coach is not responsible for the actions or safety of the student video crew.

Safety at a practice is the responsibility of the team trainer and in that specific case, the video coordinator.

---

I disagree. As head of the football team, making sure it was safe to practice outside and also safe to be filming in that scissor lift (done solely for the benefit of Kelly and his football team) was absolutely Kelly's ultimate responsibility.

But (and this is important) I do see this in Notre Dame's internal report:

quote:

---

The Investigation found that Declan checked the weather before practice via weather.gov
and, from that webpage, accessed the text of the wind warning. The warning indicated the
possibility of gusts of up to 60 mph. Klunder, Collins, and Russ did not recall seeing the wind
warning when they checked the weather before practice nor accessing the details of that warning.
Their focus was the reported wind conditions.
Because Collins did not see winds over 35 mph, he did not relay any weather information
to the coaching staff. If he had read reports of actual winds over 35 mph close to the time of
practice, he would have informed Klunder. Ultimately, no one—not Collins, Klunder, nor
Russ—told Kelly or any coach that practice should be held indoors or that the lifts should not be
used.

---

In other words, the people Kelly depended on to tell him whether it was safe to practice told him it was safe to practice. Nowhere in the report does it say that Kelly overruled them.

They had moved practice indoors earlier in the week. This time the wind gusts caught them by surprise. They missed the warning from the NWS.

By the way, this wasn't even the first time such an incident occurred (not at Notre Dame) but it was the first time someone died that I know of:

All of this is interesting but does nothing to change the point of the OP.

Some of y'all thought Kelly should be arrested and now you get your panties in a wad about similar knee-jerk reactions to the news that Brandon Miller transported the gun to the murder scene.

Yeah this sidewalk guy has never been smart. He’s really emotionally invested and unstable on this Miller situation, while also weirdly claiming he’s “fairly impartial on the matter.” I can’t imagine caring this much about any issue related to LSU (or Alabama for that matter).

Regarding your post, I also chuckled that he went back 4 months to find a post that he felt was hypocritical, used that to make some grandiose claim about a whole fan base, and in doing so really just exposed LSU fans for being hypocrites. Just a weird and pointless angle.

Everyone is a hypocrite, sometimes.

I think it's in the Gospel somewhere.

Who hires them? I mean if the president claims responsibility, you don't think Kelly is responsible as well? Ok....

---

The video staff are employees of the university and the athletic department, not football program or its head coach.

That’s why the president took responsibility.

quote:

---

He was never even implicated in any wrongdoing.

That seems to be the Bammer excuse for Miller.

---

Implicated by criminal authorities?

No one was in his death. Not specifically anyway, just the university as a whole was found responsible.

Implicated by the media? Oh hell yeah Brian Kelly was implicated.

In case it never occurred to you...we're all hypocrites.

quote:

---

I've never said Miller was guilty of anything.

---

I’d be moderately surprised if this is true based on how emotionally vested you are in this issue but I’ll take your word as I don’t care enough to check.

quote:

---

I certainly have never said he (Miller) killed anyone.

---

Nor have I ever even referenced the Kelly incident until this very moment, yet across this entire thread you imply that I have when you say blanket shite like this:

quote:

---

They (Bammers) also say Brian Kelly killed a kid.

---

And this is the kind of stuff that makes you a hypocrite, as well as a person who clearly is not accustomed to using written language to communicate in a precise manner.
