Longtime OU WR Coach Resigns

[du Lac]

Reminds me when a Chicago City Councilman complained that the budget being contemplated was too niggardly and he was impeached from office.

This reminds you of that? How so?

I certainly hope not. This is football, not Candyland. That player is being gifted an education to pay attention to coach and he also has a responsibility to his teammates to do so.

Doesn't give the adult/leader license to be an asshole. You can facilitate teachable moments without embarrassing someone and or motherfucking them up and down.

Football isn't the military.

I have no issue with motherfucking people as long as it’s consensual.

Ask Urban Meyer how treating professional players this way worked for him.

Spoiler: it's not like fingerblasting some Barbie doll at a bar.

 

[GATTACA!]

I don't say that word under any circumstance. Period.

I won’t even think it.

Lol. My college coach can’t say a prayer without Mother F’ing something. We all turned out ok. I get your point though.

Kind of apples to oranges. A lot can be said about Urby but I guarantee his college players listened when he spoke. On the pro level it’s typically your Dan Marino, Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady’s who hold their teammates accountable, not Tony Dungy. At least that’s my perception.

I'm sure they listened. You can listen while tuning someone out. At a certain point the act just gets thin.

NFL free agents hear things. College football recruits hear things. The junior high and JV players hear things. If you have a culture that embarrasses and humiliates players as part of your process, good luck with that. The short and long term ramifications have consequences. So does using the N word.

It’s possible this was far worse than what’s reported and OU is just trying to hide facts to save face in recruiting. If that’s the case, shame on them.

You cannot be reasonable and woke. It is an all in proposition. If you are not full woke you eventually pay the piper. Eventually wokeness eats its own.

BS

They might be protecting him regardless. He's an alum and has been an assistant there for over 20 years.

Thread was started by saying it's sad and interesting. I don't give a wet elephant fart's worth of shit about OU Football or Cale Gundy for it to be either of those things, quite frankly.

Hope they enjoy the SEC.

If there is anyone who should not speaking up for a moral compass would be Joe Mixon.

Soon you won’t be able to say you want oil and vinegar on your salad…

My first thought as well, though I will say that was quite a thoughtful and thorough statement by Mixon.

That would depend on your definition of woke and whether it must be absolute or not.

Reasonable folks draw a line somewhere. Or will draw a line where they are willing to punish people for not abiding the "rules."

 

[Irishdrunk]

Because anything close to this word makes people lose all sensibility. In the case I stated, the word is actually an old English type word and has nothing to do w the N word. But once felt, there is little environment for clarification. Baby gets tossed out with the bath water type deal.

This was a Mayor's aide in Washington DC in 1999. The guy resigned, but after an investigation into the matter, he was offered his old job back and refused it. He took a different position in the mayor's office instead.

The fucker must be a human thesaurus that he couldn't have just said "stingy" or "not generous." Must be an asset at parties, though.

That would be my guess. Reading a kids Ipad from what the kid had written on it I couldnt imagine being a terminal offense for a 25+ year employee. Seems pretty harsh.

Yep. Totally stupid episode - but that is Chicago for you.

Yeah, but it didn't happen in Chicago.

 

[ACamp1900]

We needed this as a board.

We lose the gentleman’s club but gain this,……. Freakin woke bullshit

 

[Irishdrunk]

Yep easy to get them confused.

 

[Jiggafini19Deux]

Good thing for maps.

I hope no one ever hears me rapping alongside Big Pun in my car on the way to work.

 

[IrishLax]

OK if he said it three times in a row then I wholly retract my opinion

I’m a DMX Man, myself…

 

[DONTH8]

This is like the Kelly Kapoor break down of the 5 dots.

"1 slip up is a mistake. 2 times the guy is a slow reader. 3 times means boy if you heard me speak in my daily life this isn't the first time I've said this word. Dot dot dot dot dot."

Me either. He's been dead for 20 years.

Guys, you could be reading Huckleberry Finn out loud to the Klu Klux Klan child care center. It doesn't matter. Don't do it.

People get more bent about not being able to say this word yet can't figure out there and their or where and were. FFS
