I just HATE when OUR GUYS do this sort of misreporting. The notion that you can just end someone’s career for saying something politically incorrect is bad enough; our guys don’t need to use misleading clickbait to make it seem worse.
Stokes didn’t post a clip of himself singing along to a song. He posted a clip of himself saying one single, three-word sentence, calling someone a n****r (”Welcome back, “n****r”). But it’s hardly shocking that the NCAA would respond so heavy-handedly. The clickbait designers want you to say, “FOR SINGING A SONG???,” not “Well, that was pretty damned stupid of him.”
And on second thought, I’m even regretting immediately my description of “Welcome back, n****r” as “politically incorrect,” since I usually use that phrase to refer to something that SHOULDN’T be considered offensive. My would’ve-been 100+-year-old uncle might not have understood that you just can’t go around saying “n****r,” but how does an 18-year-old?
