2020 Non-Big Ten Offseason Thread

95 percent (or less) of conservatives are NOT racists. I only know of one racist in my circle of knowing people (a big number).

No, I know.  But OAN is beyond conservative, it's far right wing.  And whether or not it's fair isn't even the issue, it's the perception when your job is literally convincing young black men to come play for you and then do what you are telling them to do, it's incredibly stupid.  I work in the energy industry.  I wouldn't wear a Greenpeace shirt to go jogging in.

I mean, come on. Do we really think Hubbard and his teammates said, “Coach, it’s important to us that we are allowed to listen to music that is demeaning toward women.”

My guess would be they have asked for rap music to be allowed and someone who doesn’t like rap music has editorialized the request. 

I'm guessing they asked for a specific song or album?
of course there aren't many rap hits that aren't demeaning toward women

Apparently Gottlieb is already walking back what he reported.

Gottlieb is a complete douche.

I haven't seen one second of OAN, but from reading about it, it seems that its "news" portion is pretty straight, but then its "opinion" section is near-lunatic-fringe.
Giving Mullet-Head Gundy the benefit of the doubt (which I am loath to do, as he is a dumb-ass), maybe all he has seen is the "news."

That's the deal.  Listening to rap music by definition means "probably listening to lyrics that demean women."
