Fair enough
Im about done with all sports and just everything in general. UGA is one of the most liberal/progressive places ive ever been, so i dont really believe the racial bs. With the current social climate itd be an easy way to get a waiver. NCAA doesnt have the backbone to deny it. Doesnt matter what you say or do anymore. If you disagree with someone, youre a racist bigot. Im done with people. This country sucks and i regret serving it. Bunch of selfish pricks and ignorance from all sides.
Not sure what to say or think
This is what you get when the waiver process becomes a circus sideshow, run by the spineless NCAA, lawyers working for their clients, and mercenary coaches. Accusations that can’t be refuted....Racist accusations that people are scared to touch with a ten foot pole, much less challenge. Playbook was established by our former player.
If “many” of Reese’s teammates were falsely arrested, wouldn't there be a record of that?
All of this info would’ve been in his original waiver request. Seems like the NCAA and SEC didn’t find enough merit in it, so he’s trying to publicly shame them.
You have to wonder if he is using the stigma around the University with the Fields and Newman situation plus everything happening in the world to try and get a lot of attention to his waiver to let it go through.
Im not saying some of what he said isn't true, but i have a very hard time believing 100% of that statement is true
What are current players saying about this? Seems like they would be tweeting something to defend their coaches. Players staying silent on this is probably not a good look. Not saying the players are responsible for disputing Reese’s claims but they would be the most credible defenders of our coaches.
So im guessing this is just the cool thing to do now? Because you want playing time you claim you experience was toxic and coaches manipulated you into something, whats next gonna make a Penn state type claim 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
This. Poor baby. The campus police were rude to him...some random student said a bad word to him. Boo-hoo. Grow up and get over it. He's taking advantage of the current hyper-sensitive political environment we live in to get that waiver. How does leaving UGA because of "racisim" and transferring to Mississippi make sense to anyone? Just give him his dumb waiver so he can enjoy playing in the Outback Bowl and be done with it.
You can agree with this or not, but at the end of the day, this is not a good look for UGA and Kirby! I highly doubt CKS addresses this to the media, so you know Kirby will have some explaining to do via FaceTime.
Just to be clear, his claims of racism are by students on campus and by police officers and not against Kirby smart/the football team. Right?
also while kiffen has spoken out against racism, so has smart. Smart has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to increase diversity and diversity education on georgias campus. Smart helped lead a march on north campus and has given multiple public speeches To speak against racism
and if Reese doesn’t think he is going to experience racism on campus at Mississippi or any other school he is a little crazy, it’s everywhere. Now I will admit I wouldn’t want to deal with Athens or Clark county PD as a player
Shame on Otis.
I didn’t read anything that led me to believe his decision to leave had anything to do with the actual football program. What did Kirby lie about? If you quit the team midseason, you ARE letting your team down. That’s a fact, not manipulation.
But go on... Say what you got to say to get to play. Everybody else is doing the same thing.
So Kearis Jackson was involved? Assume he’s talking about a police incident.
