Melissa Link comment on UGA players
Ok I hope I do this right but I have to put something out here on what Melissa Link the Athens 3rd district commissioner had to say about the players at UGA football seems in a budget meeting for funding on police she said UGA football players are rapist and murders pluse she doubled down on when question about it and said she stood by her statement after getting backlash from the UGA AD and the Clark County NAACP president
I think all UGA fans should stand up and demand her resignation odd thing is she is also employed by UGA
Again sorry if I did this all wrong and I know I'm not perfect at the way in which to write thus but at least I made a attempt lol
Comments
Ignorant statements on her part.
Curious, what position at uga?
Custodial arts TA
She is employed by
UGA Department of Philosophy as Managing Editor of Ethics&Environment
#kasey i woukf be interested in what u think about this
Ethics and Environment?. I think she sees herself as a white knight on great white steed. She might want to check in with the logic section of the philosophy department, though.
Just read another article where she is again standing by her statement and blasting the Athens State Representative Huston Gains for him condemning her comments said he was young and getting his panties in a **** is she really the kind of person who should be representing the 3rd district of Athens as a commissioner I think Not
Please save us from those who want to be our "saviors".
Jan Kemp 2.0 wannabe?
It was a dumb statement that lacked any nuance required for that conversation and she should apologize
I suspect even more grandiose ambitions. i'm going to check on the definition of megalomania before I do any "official" diagnosis.
3rd District Commissioner? Should be an easy election campaign for the next person running against her......What a maroon!
Houston is throwing stones in a glass house though
Couldn’t care less. Dumb people saying dumb stuff.
A little gerrymandering has already solved that problem. Republicans redrew district lines in Athens and I think she lost her spot. She proved to be less progressive and more progressively racist.
I'll just leave this here : Personal Information: Melissa Link has lived in Athens since 1993 and has resided in five different neighborhoods throughout District 3. She was born in southeast Washington, DC, grew up in Prince George's County, MD and attended Frederick Douglass High. Summer vacations were spent on her great-grandfather's property in rural western Massachusetts, once a stop on the Underground Railroad. A deep connection to this 18th century farmhouse and wooded acreage fostered her passion for the environment & historic preservation and helped to develop her awareness of social justice issues.
She should provide proof or resign. That’s defamation at its greatest and accusing her employer of a grand cover up of heinous crimes. An elected official should not be able to do that without repercussions. Stand by your statements by showing proof. If you are not willing or able she must resign immediately from UGa and as commissioner. I hope UGa attorneys are revving up their engines.
What she said was dumb and should apologize for it, but some of y'all are being a bit hysterical. Probably because the OP and Gaines took some creative liberties in what was said.
