They are essentially qanon. They are the people behind the Pizzagate bullshit. People who believe this should not have access to teaching people anything, even football.

Meet the propagandists and conspiracy theorists behind OAN

People are free to watch what they want, it is a right we have in this country.

I mean do people forget MSNBC signing off for 8 years saying things like George W Bush is the worst person on the planet. Personally I stopped watching news media for more than quick check-ins because of how toxic it is almost entirely. It makes real news events like Covid-19 or the current protests harrowing when I need to try to get news. The system in general is broke, not just OAN which is really bad when you tune into it, but all of them are massive problems at this point. Wearing a shirt and watching it though, that is not worth this response.

They have every right to do so. Nobody is saying that. But people need to know who people are that are leading young people and what they believe and let them make an educated decision.

Does Gundy go into the homes of African-American recruits and lie to their families about his beliefs? Of course he does. And now people can know where the lies come from. It's information. He's free to coach anywhere and make the millions he's earned.

There is a difference between being a conservative and buying into conspiracy theories and then having access and influence as a person of power over the very people they are theorizing said conspiracies against. Parents are sending these kids away from their homes and handing the keys to these coaches.

So a player is going to inevitably get his coach fired because of a TV channel he watches? How very progressive of him.

What an insane world this is rn
Gundy is a right wing wack job who is totally misaligned with his team. The T shirt is not an isolated case.

I don't think we will be seeing football at all in the fall. I think it is more likely we get a December through February regular season season, no bowl games with the possible exception of a 4 team playoff.

I don't dispute the notion that it is going to be nigh-on impossible to have a full schedule of college football this season, but are there really treatment/cure indicators that will be ready to go by winter that would allow for a delayed schedule?

He may well be, I don't pay close enough attention to know, but until players transfer out or recruits make it clear his attitudes/beliefs/perspectives are the reason they opted to matriculate elsewhere...

Oh yeah, please note I did say "more likely". I think if it does happen it will be because of some notion of a cooling down period after a fall second wave, and the universities, networks, and NCAA will be looking at their red line budgets and try to scrape together anything to generate revenue.

I also think it is possible that the SEC or some Big 12 or ACC schools go rogue and decide to have football anyway, and that it presents a serious challenge to conference and NCAA power.

Attempting to link a tweet on my phone.

A big deal for the Oregon schools if true, that name goes way back.

Wait does the name Apple Cup also offend anyone?

Yeah, its kind of like the Florida/Georgia game, where they no longer publicly call it "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party", but of course most still do among themselves anyways.
