still cant an answer as to why black athletes would be hurt by HW speaking at RNC
Monty and Herschel are black.....If you say that towards him, and you aren’t black, you are racist. No ifs ands or buts about that. The word shouldn’t be used at all.
we are very fortunate to have Kirby Smart running our program rather than the total clown show here that wants to bench Monty
These guys could care less about the heritage and history of the university. They’re using it as a vehicle to better themselves. Most could care less about the other because once they’re “used” there is another player in line that the fans will follow and love. I know are appreciative of the opportunity the university gave them but most see it as a way out. If not UGA, the UF or Bama, etc
People make mistakes and this was definitely a big error in judgement. The issue has been appropriately addressed. Let's move on.
I agreed with you saying you’re entitled to say what you want! You’re just not immune to the consequences of it. Wow. How much more plainly can I say that? You didn’t blatantly say “he’s right” but you’re trying to justify it by saying it was a person of color to another person of color, with that second person of color being a famous athlete. Just stop. It’s wrong no matter who says it. Whether it’s Herschel or not.
I Love Kirby for being who he is. While he can definitely educate his guys to use better judgement, it’s not his place to tell a person of color how to handle his emotion. Benching a player for using a derogatory word towards another human being is as asinine as it gets.
Buddy, you did say you were triggered by what he said to Herschel. That’s literally all I’m saying here. If he said that word towards another former player whom you didn’t like, you wouldn’t say a word about it. You can argue with me until you’re blue in the face, but you’ll never convince otherwise. I see it happen time and time again. You are upset that he said something towards Herschel. That’s it!
I'm going to have to disagree with you on this. I understand the problem you have with dealing with this. I agree that some bad actors are being cast out.
But, the Chat has not been a "good place" since the COVID posts got moved there (which I understand, but wish the inappropriate comments would have just been removed instead on throwing up your hands and moving them) and we started moving towards the election. Even with the bad actors being removed, the Chat is not a good place. Racist comments still get left there and insults fly all over the place.
Politics and other events occurring in our country can no longer be discussed in a civil fashion. That's the bottom line and all one has to do is read the Chat for a day. It may represent our country today, but it is not a good look for UgaSports.com in my mind. As we have seen it has even entered sports. It didn't start with this thread.
I haven't read any of the tweets, what issues did Monty bring up?
This x’s 1000 ....the Democrats have hurt African Americans fat more than the republicans .....Jesus just look at majority of dem ran cities ...that’s where the most significant problems lie
go look at other players social media - Lecounte, Nolan, Rian Davis, Robertson, Herring, Brini, Travon Walker, etc
same things that have been discussed all summer
Unless he's used a different forum or something he hasn't tweeted about police reform or social justice issues. His tweet said,
"When we agreed with them on playing it was no problem for us to speak up, but when we speak up on this Bs going on it’s shut up and tackle!"
When he says "this Bs" in response to his original tweet calling Herschel a derogatory name, he's saying, imo, it's BS that Herschel is speaking at the RNC. That's not exactly a social justice statement.
welcome to adulthood, Monty. this is the world that you now live in. anyone that disagrees with your opinion is free to try to destroy you.....
A buddy of mine said he wishes Kirby would have HW come speak very soon.
If you were blacklisted you would not be making a post
The team has been tweeting about this stuff all summer. Tons of examples of what players have been tweeting and the negative reaction from fans. Lecounte had a tweet about the ND BLM tweet that a few guys were reacting to as well.
When a player uses social media to say they want to play, people here are posting those tweets and encouraging them to use their platform. When a player uses social media to speak about political issues, people attack them and say they should focus on football.
All of that is fine. I don't disagree with any of it. It's also irrelevant to the point I was making. I have not seen Monty (himself) make a single social justice post on twitter like the other players have. His post was a picture of HW talking at the RNC and a derogatory label. Then he takes heat for it and then posts the tweet that I linked above calling it BS. I read that as him talking about the blow back from his HW derogatory comment, not about other players who made legit social comments. Therefore I stand by my comment.

His tweet is still up so clearly it hasn’t been addressed.
Welcome to adulthood? Why did he have to put his first post up with the derogatory remark about Herschel ? Because he doesn’t agree with Herschel? Bit of advice along the same lines as the whole adulthood thing .....if you are going to post something negative about a beloved public figure ( at least to our fan base) you better put your adult pants on and take the heat ....why would it be ok for him to post negatives about Herschel yet people can’t post negatives in response to his post? Yeah your right that is adulthood .....like if I posted something negative about Obama .....I better get my adult pants on and be ready for those who admire him to come at me full force - or Clinton, etc. I guess mobs surrounding people eating dinner on outside patios cursing the patrons out because they aren’t participating in their protest ....I guess that’s adulthood too?
you misread me - i completely agree with you....
this is the culture that the radical left has pushed for,, and soon whatever decorum/tolerance for diverse views the right used to exhibit will go away too..
getting attacked for diversity of thought suddenly aint so fun, when its your thought getting attacked!
You’re making ignorant assumptions and obviously have serious reading comp skills, as I’ve never said I was triggered a day in my life. It’s wrong that he said it to Herschel, just like it’d be wrong if he said it to you. Don’t know how much more simple you need me to make it. I know I won’t convince you otherwise, that’s the thing about ignorance.
No worries brother - you and I believe that people can clear things up with talking. No cancelling here.. I guess we aren’t woke enough
yep i thought I gave it away with the running mate comment and the final facial expression..
