I read another article where former players are coming out with stories about how badly they were treated by him. Looks like it’s going the way it did in Iowa.

“What is OAN?”

Think of CNN that tells the truth.

We been giving and giving and helping and paying back since the mid 60’s and their are many blacks who have taken advantage of all the many advantages and good for them! But too many keep drinking the DEMon cool aid of the big inter city crap that whitey owes you more and more and is guilty of ‘something’! Well this whitey is not and is not bowing to anyone!and there are many balcks who feel the same! DEMons are guilt of taking most of the monies allocated to the blacks for 5 decades and pissing it away to their buddies and screwing their own people - that’s whose guilty and many blacks were finding that out this year or since TRUMP which is why we have this big damn charade going on now, but will anyone recognize that, big bus, big tech, gov, MSM - F NO! Some one is going to piss some ones off to where there is the big CWII and that’s not going to be PRETTY!

This is the Cultural Revolution that we now live in.

Apologize or be fired.

For what?

Fore wearing a conservative news network T shirt !!!

Not for being racist, not for daring to oppose BLM, not for giving a racist gesture.

For daring to wear a news network shirt.

No apology from the coach, just a statement about meeting with the players, which why wouldn’t he do that? The player did apologize though.
Gundy is one of the biggest IDGAF coaches out there. Standing toe to toe against the like of T Boone Pickens and the OSU administration for years. Winningest coach in OSU history. This time yesterday everybody thought he was all but fired before he ever made a statement. Today he hasn’t even apologized and still holds his job lol. Win.

One America News - center/center-right view of actual news stories.

Not left leaning as CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, and even Fox has become.

That player gave OAN probably more notoriety and advertising than they’ve ever had. In spite of exactly the opposite that he was going for. Myself and most of the folks talking about this on sports radio had never heard of the network, think I’ll check it out now.
That backfired on the player.

We had a player call out racism on Twitter here at the University of Iowa One of the coaches lost his job as a result. You can be guaranteed that these issues will run through every major university athletic programs in the next couple weeks. Doesn’t seem like it could get any nuttier, but it will. And for awhile.

It’s channel 347 on my DirecTv guide.

Look up Liz Wheeler, as she has a segment “X Things the MSM Won’t Tell You”, among several others.

She’s been “ridiculed” by John Oliver and the rest of the late night “comedians” cabal.

And Gundy promptly caved in. The player has a right to end his scholarship at OK State for any reason and move on (he’s got an NFL future). It’s a sham

Because all their teams going forward would be as white as the Washington Generals and just as successful. No blacks would play for him. It's all about winning.

Are you kidding? For wearing a shirt of a TV station? We are so lost.

Yup. For wearing a TV News station shirt - on a personal fishing trip with friends.

I suppose he should have just blurred out the OAN logo, but jeez Louise, this is now honestly in the Twilight Zone.

Supposedly there was some other stuff that had been bubbling for a while too, and this was the final straw so to speak, but I’m not sure I buy that. This player is far and away their most talented and a top nfl prospect. And he chose to come back to school in Jan instead of go pro. So did a lot of stuff happen between Jan and now? I doubt it. If he had big problems with the coach then why’d he come back?
More than likely he realized what a dumbass he was being about the shirt, and to save face he concocted that there were some other issues.
So to help him save face, the coach met with him, accepted his apology and they both did the photo op reconciliation presser.

*** Gundy should have not backed down. Course it would have cost him his job, but he’s likely done regardless. ***

Probably would have cost him his career — as in never employable again in his chosen profession. The “Red Guards” have claimed another apology at career-gunpoint. Gundy could always phone Drew Brees to commiserate.

To be fair, Gundy partly does it to himself. Most coaches have some slime about them and can navigate issues before they arise. Coach Gundy has made a career of saying highly volatile things. He just wades right into the sh**. Doesn’t care. Like George Costanza when he’s trying to get the Yankees to fire him.

They don’t know, someone had to tell him, and then tell him to act really mad.
