Top Oklahoma State football player done due to

Coach Gundy pictured wearing OAN shirt. I cannot post the link to the oklahoman but this just shows how much racism can hurt a sports program now. Good for Chubba Hubbard for using the power he has to make people listen. You know how much these racists love their football. The loss of Hubbard will cost OSU games no doubt.

Mon Jun 15, 2020, 04:36 PM
Jun 2020

it can get especially bad if the Head Coach gets on his soap box and leads the attacks. See Mike Leach at Texas Tech

The average college football fan is a blinded homer who just can't handle attacks against "his" university or its popular coach. His school is NEVER wrong-the NCAA or the Player is always out to get "his" team

It can be one of the more troubling aspects of college football-a game I love.

This kid though was probably a leading contender for Big 12 Player of the Year so this will reverberate around the region

This will quickly become a racial thing. Their coach is one of them so backing his views is easy. Not all OSU grads for sure, but this is the ag school, lots of rural fans who never set foot on campus to learn, they just come for the games.

I read a lot of sports message boards. A lot of white fans are calling for boycotts, saying they'll walk away, etc. Now, whether they actually do it is another question but I wouldn't put it past them. I know my RW brother in law has turned on a couple of teams he's followed all his life. That's not to say AA recruits shouldn't do it, but I don't know if white sports fans would automatically fall into line.

I'm just saying southern good ole boy fans are quite capable of cutting off their nose to spite their faces. In the same way the talent pool has leverage, so does the audience in terms of ticket sales and TV ratings. Black lives dont matter to most of these people and if confronted with it they may turn their backs. I'm not saying Black athletes shouldn't take a stand. Not at all. Just that you can't lead a horse to water and I think it's optimistic that they'll change the attitudes of white southern football fans overnight or maybe at all.

It will be interesting to see if NASCAR takes a hit or if the fans don't really care that much about the confederzte flag.

Black players that are highly recruited should chose schools that value educating them. Kids should have a plan if they end up hurt so bad that they can no longer play. I can't count the number of times that I read about former LSU, Alabama, Clemson Black former players that didn't make it to the NFL and had no life skills, college did nothing for them. Those players were four and five star players in high school, with NFL dreams, I wish their parents had pushed their education in high school, so they could get into schools like Stanford or Harvard (H doesn't do scholarships, but if a blue chip high school player who qualified academically wanted in, the school would find enough financial aid). Those kids are going to be used as gladiators anyway, why not be at a school that is also educating them for a real economic future?

We need more parents like the parents of Senator Corey Booker (athletic scholarship at Stanford).

Players band together and refuse to play for Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, basically the entire SEC and in a few years this shit would stop.

Big10 and PAC12 start winning championships and the SEC and Southern Schools would get it together quick. Bear Bryant integrated Alabama teams because USC went out there and kicked ass.

White coach telling black players

“You’re a hood rat”
“I’m gonna send you back to the hood”

Gundy is done. OSU will get a new coach soon.

As an OU fan and alumnus, this doesn’t surprise me in the least. OSU is not exactly the progressive school in the state.

OSU’s Chuba Hubbard on Mike Gundy’s OAN shirt: Won’t participate with team until things change
By Kelly Hines

Read here: https://www.tulsaworld.com/sports/college/osu/osu-s-chuba-hubbard-on-mike-gundy-s-oan-shirt-won-t-participate-with-team/article_25425f02-ea2d-52bf-9d83-60070478ebb5.html

(snip)
Gundy, who was photographed wearing the shirt on an apparent fishing trip to Lake Texoma, referenced OAN during a memorable April media teleconference. The network is widely considered a far-right news source.

“I tell you what’s funny is, I was flipping through stations,” Gundy said. “I found one — I don’t even know if anybody knows about this — it’s called OAN. It’s One America News. And it was so refreshing. They just report the news.

OSU football: Cowboys linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez announces he tested positive for COVID-19

(snip)
Oklahoma State senior linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez announced Sunday on Twitter that he has tested positive for COVID-19. Rodriguez is the second known OSU player to test positive for the virus since football players began returning to campus two weeks ago.

“Upon reporting back for testing and prior to training at OSU, I have tested positive for the Covid 19 virus,” Rodriguez wrote on Twitter. “I have been completely asymptomatic.

“This message goes to urge that even though you may not exhibit symptoms, you may still be a carrier per the guidelines of the CDC. Please continue to use extreme caution when presenting yourself to any group gatherings that exist beyond the confines of your own home and surroundings.”
