Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[Gitwitit]

While impossible to ever really know, what would have happened in his development had he been in a more inviting culture.

He developed well enough in 4 years to grad transfer to WVU and start.

 

[CyTwins]

So do you think Kirk should be fired for what he did to him?

What about the current S&C coach who heard Doyle use the N word and didn't do anything about it

Bump for @Gitwitit

 

[Gitwitit]

That's still does not justify Kirk trying to make him stay the way he did..

Allegedly

Which makes the young man even more impressive IMO. To go through that abuse and come out the other side stronger would be hard

Wait now Fleming isn't credible?

 

[knowlesjam]

If his Wiki page is correct, the furthest he got on an NFL roster was on the Buccaneers practice squad.

And so you denigrate the athlete by saying he wasn't good enough to make the field to deflect away from the fact that Iowa basically discarded him...and not because he was a good football player.

I wasn't there and I can't confirm any of this is true. Not my place to make that call. it's entirely possible the AA S&C coach said something to Doyle...we don't know.

Did I say that?

I'm not denigrating Fleming. He played at Iowa but had good players in front of him so never got to start. Obviously, there was an easier path to playing time at WVU and it looks like he did well there.

You were acting like Iowa kept a kid on the bench behind players he was better than.

Big 12 doesn't play defense

I mean you're choosing not to believe him

Imagine if he had been a environment where he was allowed to learn, develop, and remain black. Maybe one where he wasn't mocked and verbally abused AND subsequently develop PTSD. Crazy idea eh?

It's amazing any of the dozens of African American players that were drafted could succeed in such a hostile environment.

Woof

They're gaslighting the **** out of this kid. Pathetic.

He wasn't fired. He was forced to resign and paid $1.2 million.

You're really starting to come off as part of the problem

It really is. Some of those dudes were able to tolerate the racism. Much stronger humans than the racists that abused them. You genuinely are a puke.

Do you agree he should have been forced to resign?

Odds that KXNO 2-4 pm show will mention this?

15 mins in so far.... and nothing.
