They were never going to just lay down and die so whatever. At least Judd is gone. It’s almost worth it keeping them around for when Kirby treats Chip like the whiny bitch he is on a daily basis.

Not good enough. More heads need to roll there. That worthless jizzrag of a newspaper should have been put out of business after the Richard Jewell bullshite.

By not retracting, they're doubling down.

Couldn’t confirm 11 was a real number but it’s not fabricated?

Very easy…if it’s real then give names. Otherwise it’s fabricated.

I guess we’ll never know who the “11” are but sure as hell didn’t stop that narrative from getting legs

Yep. This needs to be considered a victory.

The AJC won't learn from this. Instead, they will harbor a grudge and come after the school as much as they possibly can. Scumbags all.

I think the AJC will want to move on. They do not want to be put in a position where they have to fire their diversity hire of an editor, too.

Also, UGA doesn't need settlement money. frick you money and an ax to grind is an extremely dangerous combination. I hope they keep putting the screws to the AJC. UGA is probably the only institution in the state with enough pull and motive to really go head to head with the AJC. I want this to end with their reporters and editors begging for food under an overpass somewhere.

Someone on the Rant mentioned they may terminate DawgNation. Anybody know if that’s true? I like Brandon Adams and hope he keeps the podcast at least.

I wish the players would just act like the AJC crew didn’t say shite when they ask questions. Or if they do acknowledge the idiot, ask who the other 11 players are.

Chip Towers is getting trigger happy with the block button on Twitter if you remind him that his boyfriend got fired.

StingTalk has gone full tin foil hat over this btw. They can’t handle it

This is crooked öööö, rather than having any accountability over serious allegations like most large organizations would, UGA jumps to defensiveness and legal threats in order to discredit the story.


quote:

Thank you, Alan Judd, for sacrificing your job to do the right thing and report an important story. It isn't worth working for people who would fire you for that.


quote:

öööö the AJC.

You can’t make this öööö up folks.
