It's probably because it seems as if Barta and Fran are trying to ruin Dolph's reputation because Dolph was caught being critical of Fran. I don't think he's a great broadcaster, but trying to paint him as a racist is shameful.

He was being critical of a student athlete in the first incident this season but ok.
 
That has nothing to do with ISU fans weird obsession with Dolph being suspended. Probably a good idea to deflect though since it's a really weird look to be so obsessed with Iowa's radio announcers and the wives of Iowa coaches.
ISU? It made AP news.

What's obsession is the number of usernames you've had.
 
Yes, there are multiple threads on the ISU board about Iowas play by play guy.

You don't get it. Of course it's an issue for Iowa fans to discuss. The fact that there is multiple threads on an ISU board about it is really odd.
It was the biggest story in the state yesterday. Sports talk shows only talked about this.
 
1. Stop trying to make this a political thing. Nobody at all was talking about this before Iowa made it an issue today. It wasn't about snowflakes getting pissed off. Literally nobody was saying anything. This is completely about Barta and Fran wanting to get rid of Dolph.

2. Instead of being a man and just canning him, he had to go and be a total coward and slap the racist tag on him. Without getting too political, of course racism is still a problem, and obviously more of one than I realized 5 years ago. However, "King Kong" is part of the lexicon describing a total badass. When Denzel yelled "King Kong ain't got **** on me" at the end of training day, he wasn't saying he was blacker than King Kong. He was saying he was the ultimate badass. That's how Dolph was using it.

3. You guys know I've defended Iowa and McCaffery on this board many times. Many, many times. But let's call a spade a spade here: if you are trying to drum up racist charges against somebody because you are too much of a coward to fire them, that is evil behavior. It makes you a bad person. I'm honestly going to have to take a break from talking about Iowa basketball and probably sports in general, because IMO I can't separate what is going to happen on the court from this situation. I've enjoyed good natured ribbing in the past but I just can't here. I hope Fran loses every game by 100. And I can honestly say I rooted for them when we didn't play them before now.
