Iowa Football Recruiting
- Thread starter CyTexMex
- Start date
You're saying it's ok to have a guy that used the N word on staff?
Also, since it happened under the current Utah HC shouldn't Wittingham have known about it? And since he didn't punish him until it was made public wouldn't Wittingham in turn be a racist also? Isn't that how all this works?
The "well the program he chose might be as racist as our program" angle when losing out on a recruit is a terrible look IMO
So at Utah, if a coach is being racist they get reprimanded for it. At Iowa, it goes on for almost 20 years, and nothing is done about it until it becomes public. And even then, they just throw the S&C coach under the bus and nobody else that was also being racist.
You forgot the part where the black player had to apologize to the racist coach.
Not as bad as pretending to be concerned about student athletes and racial issues.
He was picking between 2 programs that have been in the news the last month for race issues and chose the one that has a member of the coaching staff that has allegedly used the N word multiple times while on staff and you all are rejoicing over that.
There is no program in the country that's as racist as Iowa's. Of course we want bad things to happen to bad people
Okay.... you're right.... so he picked the least racist school of this two choices.... you win.
So suspending a guy with pay who admitted to using the N word means you may not be a racist but firing a guy who is being accused of making a lot of racially insensitive comments over 21 years means you are racist?
I didn’t know any about this so I looked this up. There are a few differences. The coaches took responsibility and is reported that he apologized immediately after sending the text when he recognized what he did. The Iowa coaches made the players apologize and have never apologized themselves. On top of that, they either say it never happened or they had no clue they were racist the whole time.
Did any players from Utah come out and say Wittingham was racist like they did about Ferentz?
I clearly stated that I didn’t know about the Utah guys. But the idea that you are trying to draw an parallel between one incident and harboring a racist and letting him go unchecked for two decades just tells you how badly you are grasping at straws.
Good teams get blown out in bowl games all the time. Especially when they had their sights set on a bigger prize. There are countless examples of this.
Isn't it like 6 of them by now? Joly, Wadley, players rep group guys, etc
Of course you guys didn't know about the Utah story. You only pretend to care about race issues when they involve Iowa.
Also, it wasn't a one time deal according to this former player.
I have to run for a bit but will be interested to see how you all can continue to go in circles on this topic and pretend to care.
Joly and Wadley said KF is a racist? Not sure what the reps have said from pre-postgame or whatever their name is but they aren't former players.
