Does this have to do with the HW post?
Yeah, players have the right to speak up. Others have no problem voicing their opinions. Although Monty could’ve disagreed more appropriately.Talking about the fan backlash, because grown men feel the need to “educate” these kids on why their politics are better than theirs via twitter
We’d all be better off.If Twitters shut down for good, I would be more than ok with it

Maybe it isn't. Maybe how you comment on things matters some too.Seems like a legitimate complaint to me
That is the allegation. I have not confirmed that was his account. Regardless, I won't have that used here.So he did in fact use that word in a social media post?
Totally fair. Just trying gain clarity as to what happened.That is the allegation. I have not confirmed that was his account. Regardless, I won't have that used here.

Politics and free speech are one thing, using a derogatory racial slur toward someone you don’t agree with shouldn’t be accepted by anyone, regardless of skin color.Talking about the fan backlash, because grown men feel the need to “educate” these kids on why their politics are better than theirs via twitter

Can't say for certain. Seems likely. It is a tricky spot as this is a current player but it is also political (so move all discussion to the Chat?) and an attack on another player (although former) so should it be deleted? Tough call.Totally fair. Just trying gain clarity as to what happened.
Once or twice on the Chat. They were banned.people really using the N word in here?
dear lowered
So it was a negative post directed at Herschel Walker?Can't say for certain. Seems likely. It is a tricky spot as this is a current player but it is also political (so move all discussion to the Chat?) and an attack on another player (although former) so should it be deleted? Touch call.
Yep, it’s accelerating the downfall of our society.If Twitters shut down for good, I would be more than ok with it
He's not getting backlash for any political viewpoint or speaking out - he's getting backlash for posting a screenshot of Herschel speaking at the RNC with a banner of a racial slur above it. (Presumably because he takes issue with HW speaking about his own political viewpoint - how ironic).
Monty needs to grow up. He's getting a lesson in being an adult in the real world right now so maybe he will.
YesSo it was a negative post directed at Herschel Walker?
In my opinion I really isn’t. We are talking about 2 of our players from our beloved university. Moving it to the chat would decrease the amount of conversation and also debase its. Here it gets more “eyeballs” and discussion which is needed.Can't say for certain. Seems likely.

Basically now people just want their words coming out of your mouth.Monty believes he can say whatever he wants and not have anyone question him even when he does something that disrespectful.

The majority of the problem is social media, in all its forms, isn’t a balanced forum on any side. It’s a look at me forum.Definitely not advocating for what he posted. Agreed that people have the right to voice their opinion to them, but how many times has someone actually had their mind changed by someone on twitter leading off with “let me educate you”.
The bottom line is the majority of CFB fans care about these players on Saturday afternoons (provided they perform well). Anything else that is going on in their lives or how they feel about certain topics doesn’t matter if it doesn’t match up with their views.
Yeah, but it is mainly political and thus belongs on the Chat. Look at the responses so far. And some of the topics on the Chat get far more eyeballs thane ones here.In my opinion I really isn’t.

He has an absolute right to his opinion and there can also be consequences for that opinion.
Time to call in Herschel and ask any players who have a problem with him to say it to his face. Would be a tremendous learning experience.
