Dabo has won the ‘ship multiple times in recent years. In regards to his “fakeness”(All other controversial statements aside), I’m good if kirby say how bout those “flippin“ dawgs if he is holding a trophy...tired of the 1980 chatter From rival teams, notably Florida. We have the talent. Time to bring it home. Let Dabo shoot himself in the foot while we get busy winning titles.
FSU says looks to Dabo and say, "Hold my beer..."
Chaser.
Chaser.
Here's Rival's article about it.
If you think that Dabo has not openly expressed sanctimony just like Freeze did, you have clearly kept yourself ignorant of the actual words that have come out of Dabo's mouth in the past. The evidence is clear and unambiguous if you have taken time to actually hear and read what he has said publically. If you can't find sactimony in Dabo's words you either aren't paying attention, don't understand what sanctimony means, or you're in willful denial.
It’s out of control....expect more.
Ok
And ALL OF IT IS ACTUALLY PRODUCTIVE!
Everytime somebody - one of these high profile sports figures - says something **** or tone deaf, the conversation gets louder, and more frequent, right now.
Conversation is taking place. People everywhere are talking about race, culture, oppression. That's great!
I challenge everyone to just listen.
Joel Ostarine and Mike Norvell make me VERY appreciative of Kirby and the entire staff. They make me proud to be a fan of this team
and the next one hits close to home....
It’s lasted a lot longer than my comments, censorship at its best. Just saying. You know who you are.
You really should just stop
Lil ol' Dabo update
Kind of an awkward defense Dabo had for his assistant. To paraphrase, "He said the word, but didn't directly call anyone the word. So it's not that bad." How I interpreted it, "please go away media, I don't want this to linger. Please leave me, the good ol' boy, alone. I love Jesus, remember?"
I didn't flip you off. I merely raised my middle finger in your general direction with an angry expression. Completely different.
I don't know how to address the issue properly, but I think a good start would have been being more public about the incident instead of trying to stay private about it.
I didn't take it that way at all. I could be wrong, but what I perceived was that the player used the N word and the coach disciplined him and told him to knock it off. They got into an argument about it and the coach said how would you like it if we all used that type of language and he demoed it. IMO, the whole point was stopping that word's use, and it exonerates the coach. Dabo said he would immediately fire any coach who used that word. I hope we don't suffer from jealous fan syndrome where we would trash anybody just because they are winners and rivals on the field. I think we can beat Clemson this year with their whole team and coaching staff in place!
Deshaun Watson and Deandre Hopkins felt oppressed at Clemson.
"I felt this oppressive figure during my time at Clemson and purposely do not mention the University's name before NFL games because of it"
@PerroGrande the coach has already apologized for using the word, and several players have stated he used it. So, Dabo clearly won't fire anyone who uses it. That's why I mentioned it was an awkward defense... I think a better defense for Dabo would've been, "he should've never used the word, but he didn't personally call anyone that word, but instead was trying to use it as a teaching moment."
@Teddy I agree with most of that, but the key point for me is that the coach was trying to teach the player that the use of that word is unacceptable. Surely, people don't want to fire a coach for trying to eliminate the use of that word, do they? I thought it was clear that what Dabo meant was what you said, but I agree your language is clearer.
That sounds worse to me. White men shouldn't dictate if the use of that word is unacceptable.
