Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[CRcyclone6]

That's absolutely true. I understand why there is disbelief. Sports fandom is a powerful thing. There are just so many players recounting incidents, though. Sharing their stories about how they felt at the time they experienced it, and now. This is so much more than a few disgruntled backups who didn't get play time. The sheer number of reports should make any Hawk fan really think twice before going on the defensive for the football program.

Agree 100%. I just don't get why it took for all of this to happen to get players, even after their time, to speak out.

Who was that racist congressmen that people in the NW portion of the state kept putting in office again and again. And that dude was not shy about his views when it came to white supremecy..

Former assistant strength coach under Doyle. Coach King IIRC

Kirk will do what is right here. Lucky to have him leading the program through this. Go Hawks!

Kirk's obviously hoping he can contain this without it affecting his or Jr.'s job status.

Meatheads like Doyle and bad cops have something in common. Heavy steroid use combined with pumping iron. Makes you say and do really dumb things.

Nobody better at quickly identifying issues of race and taking swift action.

Very few better human beings in the business. No doubt.

It's tough to take the guy seriously.
I mean he went to court over landscaping with neighbors and is playing the "I wasnt aware" card with his players.

Easy there Remo. If that's true, we have a lot of weight lifters on CF (thinking of the Hok trolls, of course).
