Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[aauummm]

Clowns are out in force. Love it!!!!

Hey Einstein, this is a CycloneFanatic board. I think that I would expect it to be full of Cyclone fans.

So, the guy taking over the weight room saw it all and said nothing.

How's that work?

Circling back to the Kirk video...what kind of investigation are they doing?

If UI is smart they'll commission an independent investigation.

They are.

 

[Brodie0]

Advisory committee—-flailing.

What should they have done? Just fire the entire coaching staff? Disband the football program altogether? How do you propose they make changes to the football program without listening to the insight of current and former players?

Replacement is African American. Bet he has a few things to say now.

Treated players of color equally....

I mean if Doyle is the only one fired after all this that's pretty bad

At minimum Brian, Doyle and Kirk should be fired and you know me I selfishly want Brian to stay

 

[Rabbuk]

If Brian goes Kirk is going. Kirk can't claim plausible deniability if that happens.

You are losing like usual.

 

[CyTwins]

You are losing like usual.

Seriously how can you defend anyone in that program right now. If this came out about Campbell I would want him gone immediately

There's no plausible for anyone involved.

He did deny knowing where Brian lived at one point, so maybe not.

Kurt is screwed. He either knew what was going on and ignored it or created a culture where players of a certain skin tone felt they couldn’t take their concerns to him.

This T.D. WIlliams guy is straight savage

Pretty sure they call it, "The Iowa Way".

 

[Cydkar]

Iowa is nothing compared to south of the Mason/Dixon line. Not even close.

I do know that but I also don’t think they tout themselves as “Tennessee nice” or “Alabama nice”. Maybe they do and I’m not aware though. Just something that always rubs me wrong. I think we are beginning to see why. Just look at the responses to some of the tweets. This is all old news.

Strongly disagree with that. He was given an ovation because he helped raise millions of dollars for the childrens hospital to help children with cancer. And retweeting a Tosh joke as a teen doesn't automatically make someone a racist.

 

[Beyerball]

Have to understand that for 40 years Iowa football has basically had 2 regimes and really 1 as KF was an extension of Fry..

Some Iowa fans and even media cannot fathom anything negative happening with their precious baby that is Iowa football..

I’m guessing this is just the tip of iceberg..

Monday and Tuesday are going to be brutal for U of Iowa..

 

[Cydkar]

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.

This is why the protests are working. they are giving people a voice. It’s hard to speak up when you’re being oppressed and you don’t think anyone will have your back. Only recently do people know that others will have their back and their voice might actually be heard. Now we have the proverbial flood gates opening
