  1. We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted downSo we grabbed an alligator and we fought another roundWe filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behindAnd when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind
  2. Gotcha. Shut up and coach. You cannot be an advocate, mentor or friend of POC unless you support BLM. Preferably visibly and actively. Listen to or support any organization and you are beholden to every one of the or beliefs. Without question. To the end of time. Seriously, apply your viewpoint to any other aspect in your life and see how preposterous it gets. Are you in lockstep with everything your political candidate supports? Your job? Family? Even if that’s true is your history of being a good person or treating those around you well all for naught due to differing beliefs from someone else. Is that enough to publicly call out, shame and endanger the livelihood of yourself or people you disagree with? That’s the problem. Even more so than police brutality or the racial issues of today. Because, as much as we want to solve those, we can’t have a conversation with people of differing beliefs to get to a resolution. Life is reduced to a series of either/or choices and labels, hypocritical, empty virtue signaling and and attack on others up to and including ruining their lives and careers. How many people are cowed into silence who might otherwise want to help because some woke asshole will dox them or bring down the mob for not towing the SJW line? It’s a bunch. Can you believe that inequality, police brutality and racial barriers exist without buying into the totality of systemic racism? I know this will cause apoplexy and some posters to start shitting through their dicks, but the answer is yes. If a person believes in that vein and wants to redress the issues are they still an enemy of BLMs? Where can someone wear something they want, particularly a public figure since that is your concern, without fear of the mob? If Gundy was photographed next to his pool in an OAN shirt is he still at fault for not being wary of his public status? What about if someone catches a shot of him in his living room? Or we can quit all the nonsensical rules of woke social etiquette, accept that Gundy appears to be an acceptable human being with those young black men in his charge, and not give a F is his beliefs don’t completely align with all of his players.
  3. I’m sorry, but there are equally egregious propaganda platforms posing as news outlets for the left. Most of which have been caught flat out altering or editing footage and recordings, reporting partial statements to shape narratives or flat out making up their own shit. And people buy into them hook line and sinker. They’re entitled to without fear of being publicly and socially ostracized and possibly have their careers out in jeopardy just because someone disagrees with them. Just like Gundy. But it’s antithetical to Hubbard’s beliefs you say. So the F what? Does Gundy treat him appropriately and with respect is the only thing that matters. A whole life of work can be flushed away because you don’t support x activist organization of today? F that.
  4. A little bit of both. Whatever happened between the two of them was enough for Hubbard to walk back his stance. It was BS to handle it like he did. And it’s BS to go after someone over differing political beliefs like that on social media. If Gundy has to be wary of his choice of fishing shirts then Hubbard needs to understand that his platform can destroy a coach’s career. The coach doesn’t have to endorse some movement or else. Does he treat those around him respectfully and appropriately is all that matters Gundy has had something like 550 scholarship athletes in his program during his time at OSU. I’m sure some guys do/don’t like him as is the case in any program, but we’d have a pretty good idea if Gundy had racial issues or otherwise before now in a world of constant monitoring of all things social media. I don’t care that he’s goofy, dislikes scissors but loves hair gel or has a tendency to talk out of his ass. And I LOL at the people saying he was making a statement. To who? The fish? Think his family doesn’t know what he believes? Get a life.
  5. No, I’m saying it’s a chickenshit way to handle things with people you know and interact with, and doubly so when you consider the possible implications for the man’s career over a fishing shirt. Not a even a shirt with something incendiary on it.
  6. Having some experience with three letter identifiers it’s usually common practice to drop the first letter with the understanding that the last three have the truly relevant information. I know WBAP is a Dallas stationer. I know KDFW is a Texas airport. But no one uses the first letter. Which is why I thought of a radio station.
  7. No, no. Something perfectly legitimate that Gundy had a problem with. Say wearing a shirt supporting a party of platform that Gundy disagrees with. He’d be leveled in short order. Yes. I’ve been on a sports team. I didn’t stalk other people, keep in mind that Gundy didn’t publish the photo, and then try to shame them publicly for wearing a pretty benign tee shirt in public. This whole attitude that you must immediately and publicly destroy anyone you disagree with over even the pettiest thing is out of hand.
  8. You're greatly overestimating how many people use twitter or spend their days hanging on every word of the president. May first instinct was a radio station when I saw the letters.
  9. Oh Hubbard has a right to express his opinion. But trying to publicly shame someone for wearing a shirt you disagree with politically while they were fishing in their free time? Reverse the circumstances. Imagine Gundy taking to twitter to highlight something he disagreed with about one of his players. He’d be crucified. Do you go hunting down people on your social media over tee shirts? Would you want someone coming after you over something as simple as that? WTFO?
  10. So nothing anyone cares to air in public then other than one player being threatened justly or unjustly to be sent home? Ok.
  11. You’re gonna have to forgive if I haven’t been reading twitter all day to see what some Okie St players thought of their time there. What were their specific grievances?
  12. Or players can respect a that a coach can have political beliefs and stances different than their own, and the only thing that matters is whether that coach treats them with dignity and respect otherwise. It’s asinine that anyone has to completely support the political bent of college kids or be publicly excoriated for it.
  13. That’s BS imoho. I think thou protesteth too much of his great sin is wearing a shirt with the logo of a conservative tilted news network most have never heard of to go fishing on his free time. That’s out of hand.
  14. I’m pretty sure they’re not tracking them down and publicly calling them out every time they do something the coach disagrees with or is stupid. Which is a lot for 18-21 year old kids. Btw, they’re getting paid.
  15. Or, people can get a life and respect his personal free time.
  16. That’s BS. And having interacted with several very well known and successful coaches in their off time I can tell you that your idea isn’t remotely adhered to.
  17. He wasn’t bragging on anything. The fishing service posted his picture and didn’t tag or identify him. They pulled the picture after the mayhem started. Even money the fishing service didn’t know what the shirt was about. I thought it was a radio station when I first saw the news break.
  18. He wore it to go fishing. I dunno about you, but I usually wear something I don’t mind getting dirty when I decide to toss a line. It would probably be perhaps a step above something I do yard work in. Maybe.
  19. The Free State of Stoned.
  20. I’ve always been fascinated by the cycle of retreads in aviation.
  21. Well, exactly 0 people saw a pandemic leading to worldwide economic shutdown as a credible scenario. Btw, I checked and if you were scheduled to come in to get landing currency before the exemption was given then you will still come in and do them even though the FAA has extended grace to August 31.
  22. What’s the point of an empty middle seat when someone is sitting directly in front of and behind you?
