Overshown himself RTs a clear example.
"The only thing most of our players get pissed about is when cops kill criminal thugs."

Now the obvious racism here is the characterization of all victims of officer violence as "criminal thugs", but that's not even what I'd point out because that's too easy and it's not directed specifically to the players. The racist attack on our players in that statement is the allegation that this highly racialized complaint is "the only thing" our players care about. This is a racist mischaracterizatioin of our players.

If you want more examples, you need only look at the initial thread here that had to be locked because posters here were saying our players were destined for lives of criminality if it wasn't for their scholarships.

Song Karen's argument regarding the harmlessness of The Eyes would be a lot more compelling if she didn't also pretend racism was fake.

This is such a colossally stupid take. It's fine to have a different opinion on the song but these players twitter feeds have fuck-all to do with their film work, preparation, and results on the field. Every program in the country from the top five powerhouses to the bottom feeders have players on social media. Our team sucks because of lack of talent, no development, and bad game plans.

So no middle ground in your mind.  Got it.

For me, the players staying for the EOT to support the fans, alumni, and THE UNIVERSITY is not a big ask.  

Ricky and Earl along with many others agree with keeping EOT.  Ricky Williams quote:   "I think it's important to understand our history and to understand where the song came from, but I think it's more powerful to transform the meaning of the song and the definition of the song rather than trying to erase our history like it never existed.”

You talk about change.  Agreeing to just give in to Cancel Culture that is misdirected is not change -- it's flat out wrong.

Virtue Signaling - the action or practice of publicly expressing opinions or sentiments intended to demonstrate one's good character or the moral correctness of one's position on a particular issue.

No, you aren't, but not surprising you would think that given you've spent enough time in the CR to get 7,000 rep here. Especially hilarious that you present the definition and still think you are using the term correctly.

Calling the players soft, entitled, primadonnas (or whatever the flavor of the month is) is not an attempt to demonstrate good character or moral correctness - it is in fact the opposite - taking a position regardless of the perceived character or morality that position represents because it is the truth and not something that whoever said it is willing to apologize for. 

Statements are either accurate/true or they aren't. That has nothing to do with the character or morality of the person making that statement.

I cited two of the premiere players in the country have stopped tweeting stuff about social injustices once their respective season started. Yet our guys are still retweeting social justice stuff. It shows you exactly where their heads are vs our guys heads.

This is really funny. Read what I said again, I'm not trying to figure out anything about your personal life. You have an online presence here and you passionately argue for something that clearly care a great deal about. I make no assumptions that you are completely fucking up the other areas of your life because of that. You are unable to do the same towards those players who say things you don't agree with.

But what if it's not actually true?

The reality is that the players are working extremely hard (they are more physically fit than any of us have ever been and are better at their sport than we have ever been, they attend their practices and meetings and their play isn't necessarily marked by a complete ignorance of how football works). They aren't making waves on social media. They aren't doing after-game interviews where they make a divisive show of themselves. They're hard-working and disciplined.

Not just that, why are so many of the critical posts filled with posters talking about what THEY would do and what THEY feel. "I am better than them!" is a constant theme, which is the virtue signaling.

You're focused on that like a pitbull anyway because of the politics involved and you're deranged by those political disputes.

[Newy25 7638]

Being physically fit and being tough are not the same thing. Overshown going over and talking shit to an OU player when a pass sailed out of bounds and he had nothing to do with defending the play only to miss a tackle right at the line of scrimmage is the behavior that most are referring to. Or Chris Brown flexing his muscles when he made a tackle 20 yards downfield that resulted in a first down is another bitchass behavior example that permeates this team. 

Whether that kind of behavior was already instilled in the psyche of the player before they got here or they are emulating the culture created by the coach is for debate but what is clear are obvious signs of mentally weak, me first attitudes in several (not all) players on the team.

I would encourage everyone in this thread to read today’s Humidor posted by RGBIII in the FTH thread.

TLDR: reports that players didn’t realize The Eyes would be played and went into the locker room. Sam stuck around for interviews, then they started playing it over the PA system and he stopped to sing it. This was not a conscious walk-off in protest, most players don’t mind at least standing there for The Eyes, there is a lot of unity in the locker room, and they respect the fans who want to keep the tradition. 
 

Hopefully this can cool down both sides on here about how much to read into the incident, and to redirect their anger at the incompetence of Tom Herman who failed to communicate to his team what would happen after the game, and to the public what really happened as this story was raging out of control all week.

This happens all the time, even on successful teams and it's overlooked because of winning. The 2005 NC team was full of questionable decisions and questionable attitudes and on-the-field actions.

Every game I've ever watched they play the Eyes and the players gather, win or lose, and hold their horns up.

They've made it crystal clear with dumbass social media posts that a large portion of them don't respect the University or give a fuck about the team. They just cemented the obvious by leaving Sam out there. Excuses are like assholes man.

Before you read my post below, if you are sincerely interested in a critique of your opinion, i urge you to read the wiki for Post hoc, ergo propter hoc:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_hoc_ergo_propter_hoc

126 years ago, the lyrics to a folk song were transcribed for the first time at Princeton.  10 years later, 2 leaders in our student government kept the music and changed the lyrics to taunt and mock the then-current leader of The University.  The song was unfortunately performed for the first time at a Minstrel Show.  And it may have been performed in blackface.  Over the following 116 years the song was sung out loud by millions of voices, none of whom ever believed they were singing a "racist" song "celebrating" "racial" anything.  Then 115 years later, Minneapolis cops killed murdered George Floyd, and African Americans attending The University (with no outside influence?) were told, decided, or became 'woke' to their belief/opinion regarding the intent and meaning of the song, which said opinion is not shared by a massive (MASSIVE) percentage of former alumni who, regardless of race, creed, color, or class, have the intelligence to see the false association between intent of the song, and the location and setting of the first performance of the song.  And, understandably, this cohort is pissed off that a piece of their lives has been warrior-ed away from them at a time when stupidity is rampant in the program, and not just in and around this topic.

The intent of the song is not racist.

It's origins are not racist.

Because it debuted at a minstrel show, you INSIST that it's origins are in minstrelsy.  The debut of the Texas version of the song at a minstrel event does not make the song racist just because you say it does.  The music was not composed for a racist cause or with racist intent.  The lyrics to the Texas version of the song were not composed for a racist cause or with racist intent.

There is zero historical evidence that the music or lyrics of the folk version or the Texas version are racist.  You can write a billion gigs of woke rant and it won't change the fact that there is zero historical evidence that the song itself is racist in any way shape or form, an ugly fact which will not be downed.

I can’t break down quotes, but on the first one, your goading of the Pro-Eyes side by saying the team was unified against the song is not helping take down the temperature.

I like how ol bad teammate responds immediately to a quote but disappears for a hour to go investigate Twitter to figure out where the quote came from and formulate his new talking points  to shape his shit narrative  

 

Quan said it best yesterday that essentially these players need to stay off social media and focus on football right now. In their current season performance they need to give every second they have to figuring out how to be better. 
 

Najee Harris last tweet about social issues was before their season started. Same with Trevor Lawrence. Our players are too concerned with shit outside of football than what they’re at the university of Texas to do especially during the season.

We aren’t allowed to multi task?  

And apparently the players aren't either.

Ha. I don’t care if they multitask. I’m of the opinion what they post on Twitter probably has fuck all to do with the seriousness of their preparation.

I still can't believe someone used the term "blackthlete" on this site and tried to pretend it was a harmless portmanteau. 

 

What if the amount of time saved not typing the space and a was used to study film?
