Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[CyTwins]

He just cherry picks what is considered evidence

I mean KF suspended a player for sticking up against racism

 

[Brodie0]

Current player seems to indicate that players’ voices are being heard.

They need to clean house.

 

[CyTwins]

What about the other concrete evidence against Kirk?

Bump for @Brodie0

We don’t know how it was handled. Phelps said he “brushed it off,” but we don’t know how he handled it behind closed doors with Brian.

And again, another in a line of incidents that resulted in zero change...that is the issue here...a culture on insensitivity and inability to change.

But, by all means, keep tilting at your windmill.

Thank god clone fans know exactly what should occur. This thread feels a lot like the outrage clone fans had with Rhabo. The gap between Iowa and isu grew wider since that took place. If that occurs with this, isu will never catch up.

@Brodie0 what are you hearing about the upcoming press conference? Seems to me a little odd on a Sunday afternoon.

 

[Cyforce]

Amazing how far Covid has dropped from our attention.

I mean, from a strictly ISU fan perspective, if we wanted the worst for iowa we'd advocate you change nothing and let the recruiting disaster hobble the program.

The one where you should have fired the guy that is still the problem today? Looks like ISU fans were right there.

C’mon man. The “pencil rolled until I was throwing up blood for no reason other than I was black” and “spit at us because we were listening to rap music” stories are such obvious BS.

 

[cyclonestate]

Yeah, I guess if putting 13 of your own players in the hospital is no big deal, having racist coaches can't be a big deal either, right TheBear? Wow.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Theres a reason that Kirk and Gary didnt communicate electronically during the Jane Meyer situation. They knew the freedom of information act would be pulled on them.

Exactly. Never put anything in print.

 

[CRcyclone6]

I just think using the race of starting QBs as a metric for this is stupid.

Pete Gales, Brad Banks, and Jason Manson. Manson wasn't a regular starter, but started a few games, so I included him since the data point was black QBs who've started more than one game.

Manson was phenomenal as a back up in 2005 vs ISU. There's a reason he didn't play much.

So clone fans take comfort in being right while their football program lags behind Iowa. Right or not it didn’t matter isu still lost ground on Iowa.

Calling the victims liars? Wow

 

[CRcyclone6]

So a 4 oclock press conference on Sunday is apparently happening.

The weight room custodian is terminated.

 

[IASTATE07]

The weight room custodian is terminated.

Stood by and did nothing. Such a pos.

Yeah, because that's what really matters. We should follow in iowa's path, let players and the general community be abused, let racism flourish, etc, all in the search of wins.

Yeah, no. Id rather burn the whole program to the ground

Neat. As long as we never have to choose between justifying abusive behavior within our program or believing victims of abuse, I’m cool with never “catching up.” For the record, if this happens at ISU, it won’t be a difficult choice for me.

 

[Brodie0]

Calling the victims liars? Wow

No, I’m not calling the victims liars. I’m saying the individual who told those two stories is obviously exaggerating them or not being completely truthful.
