Easy dismissal ....slow clap. How did you come up with those percentages? Are they truly accurate? Or is this what you hope the fan base reflects?

Do you have to be so hostile and sarcastic? It isn't a dismissal. They are investigating it. The story does sound odd, so let's see what they find out--"One young white male...surrounded by black students." 100% of the Dawg fans, and I know a bunch, love the kid and think he is going to be a great QB. Great athlete, smart, comes from a great family...Dawg fans are excited about him. That is just my experience, but I think it is typical.

Not a typical young white male. He is actually one of the best baseball players on the UGA team. Yeah racism is always odd .

So what does he say to his African-American teammates?

This is unfortunate and unacceptable and unfortunately, still a reality in society today.

“Who wants to bet he wouldnt say that to Justins face. Who also want to bet Justin is probably a better baseball player than he is as well. I dont care if my qb is purple, if that man is balling and can take the Dawgs to big time, then sir you need to sit your ass down and hush. If it upsets you that bad why are you not on the field yourself?“

PerroGrande

Ok, just read Chip's story. While we are betting, who wants to bet that he is a soon to be--former UGA baseball player?

Look, I'm African American and the most overt discrimination I face daily comes from people who look just like me. I'm routinely ignored by members of my own race as I wait AWKWARDLY at the counter waiting to b greeted in fast food places or other retail outlets. They (ESPECIALLY BLACK FEMALES) seem to revel in my discomfort as I await a greeting that was never forthcoming. My people (AFRICAN AMERICANS) r absolutely r our own worst enemy. I've experienced racism, oppression and police brutality in this country and it's not right. But what's perplexing to me is that the same people (African Americans) that complain about injustice and oppression at the hands of the American authorities r all too willing to practice that same oppression on each other and if u left them (us) in this country all alone we would committ mass genocide against our own people and when u came back we'd all b dead. But the minute a Rogue Cop kills one of us and gets away with it we wanna march, sing, dance and preen for the cameras. What do we do when the PARTY, oops, I mean protest is over? Glad u asked,we go right back to throwing each other under the nearest freight train. MESSAGE TO THE BLACK MAN. CLEAN UP YOUR OWN HOUSE BEFORE U START SEEKING HELP FROM OUTSIDE cause u should know by now that that has to come from the inside.

How might he do that? If he did, what would it mean to you?

This thread is probably on a fast track to no where.

MeR3htid

So Black people can't b thoughtful and articulate?

JimWallace

This is the worst thread ever. I'm sorry to have put any attention into it.

Go, Dawgs!

So who will you be buying instead? Adidas? Reebok? New balance?

Anything but Nike, that’s for sure. Even Payless cheapies before Nike now.

So you feel that way about Nike now just because of Kaepernick? Wow some of you people are truly something else
