The University of Oklahoma's renowned football team has suspended practice for a week in protest against a racist video linked to a fraternity and called for punishment of its leadership, team members said on Thursday.

"It is our passionately expressed desire as members of the football team for the leadership of SAE to be expelled, suspended or otherwise disciplined severely," a statement from the football team said, adding that leaders of the fraternity helped foster a culture of intolerance.

The football team, with the support of its coach, said it will hold a demonstration over the video during normal practice time on Thursday.

If they were sincere they would suspend their whole season.
Good for them, it was just a few short years ago that Barry Switzer was remarking about how he was taken down by “”the dopin’, the rapin’ and the shootin’”
Not enough; we need to admit more illiterate students of color (free of charge, of course)...
Are the Black Football Players going to be Thrown off the team and expelled if they are caught listening to RAP Music??
seriously?
So, not only are the people who sang to be expelled, but people who had NOTHING TO DO with the incident are to be expelled as well.
What ELSE do the little darlings demand to soothe their bruised egos? Shall we allow them to execute the whole fraternity?
At this point, my attitude is "screw them, they should grow up, it's just some words".
What about Palestinian agitators?
La Raza or Atlan?
That pc word LOL!
Yeah there is growing evidence they hear in locker room Barry Switer really lay N word on
It was on ESPN Outside the line sound like to me they just mess with OK Universary they are in headline right now pile on the person while they are down
Can someone tell me how this video got out into the public? I am guessing the frat boys did not put it out there
Yes, I think every person who has ever been a member of SAE including children, grandchildren or people who have worked for SAE including cooks, housekeepers, painters and yard maintainers and all bankers who have ever loaned SAE any money and all wives for sure should all be lined up on the 50 yard line and let the football team execute them by firing squad upon command of Obama and Holder!
Then, if there were still not enough blood for the jackals, let them start on all surviving relatives in of George Washington until all bloodlust was satiated by The Left. Then, there’s the producers of Gone With The Wind, let’s execute all their relatives and then.............and then!!!!!!!
Where do we stop?
s/
Yes. It is just a word. It’s use means various things, but it is, after all, a word.
Wait....is this the song they are upset about?

NOT SAFE FOR WORK...OR POLITE SOCIETY....
Anyone still interested in 2 seats on the 50?
I would agree; from the pic it looks like there are far more black athletes then one would expect from a representative sampling of the student population. Diversity officer needs to get right on that!
I think OU is about to jump-the-shark on this.
Aren’t they on Spring Break during that week?
Which people? Its important.
