If I'm Tom Herman I'm sending every black  recruit over to TexAgs, where they will find about 400 threads that go along the lines of this one:

https://texags.com/forums/16/topics/3117215


Seriously, they are collectively be biggest group of racist assholes on the planet.  Every single thread on this subject has the same "BLM is just a bunch of people trying to guilt you into paying them"  tone.

Kinda figured that's why the 'Bama grad xfer popped up, plus hadn't seen word or image one about Eagles in any of the tweeting.

That guy hasn't sniffed the lineup there, and he apparently isn't going to sniff it again (hence the transfer). Are we sure we want that guy? Kinda depends on how WR is going next year.

On the 1-0 podcast Joe Cook mentioned that Eagles went live on Instagram working out with Sam and a few others (this was post-tweet). 

So maybe he is pulling a Costanza.

Outside of the LSU game and the KU game he has been a non-factor in most games played in. I like him as a player and think he can be a valuable piece but not someone that couldn't be replaced if he opts to leave.

I do believe that he is making a mistake if he leaves the team as the audience for his message shrinks considerably.

Brennan Eagles the Longhorn football player who lets say has 75 catches this year and a great season - huge audience

Brennan Eagles former athlete now just a UT student - next to no audience

Who knows his potential? Maybe he will find an avenue for an even larger platform. He deserves our support regardless. 

 

I for one believe the young man. I think he wants to try to make a difference outside of football. The fan in me hates having to game plan for the season without him, but the realist in me knows he has taken his last snap in burnt orange.

Well, crap.  I can't believe they took it down.  Doesn't matter.  One of the threads over there says that Brennan Eagles is "virtue signaling."  Jimbo has a bit of a problem because he can't let his players "virtue signal"  in the same way without pissing off 65% of his fan base. I have to say that I'm proud of Herman for letting his players talk about this if only because it's morally right, even though it may cost Texas some fans.

What exactly is he supposed to do?  I don't know, maybe put on risk and trial his very livelihood and future as a professional athlete for a cause he believes in.  We call that conviction where I'm from.  How about this then haters, put up your job or business.  Your future source of income on the line for something you believe in then?  Or are you content to bitch out behind a keyboard and throw stones.

Well, it seems like we want some body at WR, and while he hasn't shown much in Tuscaloosa, he was apparently the top-rated WR in Texas out of HS in a group that included Reagor and CeeDee Lamb, so he wasn't a complete stiff. If Eagles flies, this guy might be worth a look...

Are you reading the same thread I am? Not seeing a lotta hate in here, me. I see a range of concern about Eagles potentially not playing, and the effects thereof on both himself and the team, from "meh" to "oh, nooooo" on both issues.

Why would he be a UT Student? Is he going to pay for school at a place where his deep seated moral convictions won’t let him play football and attend class for free?

How about No. I’ll keep my livelihood and politics/religion separate, thank you. I don't see anything noble in this shit. I actually like the secret ballot and think the country and the world would be way better off without all the virtue signaling and shaming and labeling. Try effecting change positively instead of calling people out who do not agree with your position. That is what creates meaningful and lasting change, not this socialized cock measuring.

I'm in 100% agreement with this - my only point is the conviction of Eagles and the skin in the game to risk his future and possible livelihood...to me, this is more than a signal and more a matter of actual conviction.  Something severely lack these days.

Looks like he may have learned one of the greatest lessons in American Life:

You can try to change the country for the better then you realize just how many miserable, racist, irredeemable pieces of shit are in this country and it's just better to go make your money and GTFO when you can. 

That's the 21st century generation American dream. Make enough money to live in a better country.

Lol, you guys need more black friends. You'll be shocked how many align with @Wanker Bob post at this time in history. And yes, there's definitely a return to the motherland movement brewing. I have a friend I talked to yesterday who moved to Ghana. I have another friend who's looking to reschedule his trip to Cape Town to look for properties. They both grew up in inner city Houston/Dallas and are generational Texans.

Ironically, the letter of demands sent by the student body and athletes was written primarily by an Asian student.

Cape Town is touristy too.  Try visiting Johannesburg to see the conditions there.  I visit SA a couple of times a year.  Visiting is enough as I would not want to live there.
