Mike Gundy solves college football's fake injury problems but not coronavirus or BLM

Hard to believe this is anything BUT politics. This thread hasn’t seen a post in 2 months since Gundy was saying stuff during the early stages of the pandemic.

 

the pitch forks and torches didn’t come out until he was seen in an OAN shirt. Hard to believe we don’t see or hear anything for 2 months in between

So now it’s not just trying to listen to recruits’ music on an iPod or honky dance in the locker room, but now you have to promote the politics of 17-22 year old athletes or they will get you fired or blackball you in recruiting?

also that chart is way off. and not whatever... "CNN is actually center right" or whatever thing, I mean that it has OAN totally out of wack with where they are on just the right side of the chart. They are far less of a news outfit than Fox.  If there is a left parallel it's something like TYT, but even that is not fair to TYT.

That chart is old.  OAN has really ramped up the bias since Trump started complaining about Fox.

Huh didn’t know “not wanting to get murdered by the police or Joe Q Badass while unarmed” was such a political stance

When the issue concerns the lives of young black men, and your job is to recruit and coach young black men, then yeah, the players get to decide whether or not you succeed.

Yeah - they were founded to be just a shade more right than Fox, but word is they're angling to get him to do a show on the network when he leaves Washington, so they've gone pure propaganda to make it happen.

Black athletes are beginning to realize the power of solidarity.

Alternatively, a coach could just keep his mouth shut. 

A problem Gundy has had often throughout his career.

Gundy has a closet full of OSU swag, courtesy of Nike.  He's an ambassador to OSU when he is awake, even if he doesn't feel like being one. I'm sure he also has plain unadorned clothing as well.

Yet he chose to wear a OAN shirt, because reasons.

 

 

Nike, huh?   That’s an ethical organization right there.  I mean fuck it, child slave labor is fine so long as it adds to the bottom line.

When someone says, "Keep politics out of sports." what they mean is "Keep politics I disagree with out of sports."

And when people say “keep politics in sports” what they mean is “Keep politics I agree with in sports.”

All athletes and celebrities will someday realize the consequences of absurdity.

Neither this episode nor the responses of Ok St fans are surprising. The information bubble Gundy was raised in and has lived in throughout his life is quite uniform. Within this bubble, he's had authority for 20 years so his outdated views haven't been challenged.

The administration is in a tough spot because Gundy's performance relative to expectations is fantastic. However, basic leadership theory holds that Gundy must go as he can't lead men who've lost faith in him or recruit their replacements.

Hubbard's done Ok St a favor, but he'll be pilloried. And the fans are right, he should've declared for the draft rather than risk injury playing for those colors.

Oh sad, the people whining about cancel culture getting those who disagree with the "mob" will find no joy in this.

Yeah, probably not the best time to replace an entire coaching staff, but certainly looks like that is a possibility here based on all the current and former player tweets. I don't know how either side would be ok moving forward otherwise.

Charlie Strong, Shawn Watson and Vance Bedford are tan, rested and ready.

Wanting equality isn’t political. It’s a human right. He wore a shirt promoting a propaganda organization that is against equality. His players should be pissed. Everyone who isn’t a piece of shit should be offended at what OAN stands for.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Chuba probably didn’t know about OAN either.

Such a freaking slippery slope we’re falling into.

And there it is.

That's nice. He's already fucked now in recruiting. We better fucking win out this year or he's going to take extra heat for the same ol' same ol'. He has said he didn't plan to coach much past 50. Time to start winding down Mike.

Mike Gundy is just proof that some coaches need a "get back" coach on and off the field. The fact that anyone let him go out in public with that shirt on is hilarious. 

In my experience, that's kind of what a wife is for.

3/4 of this whole issue is just the idiocy of it all. He gets paid $5m a year and part of that is not wearing weird political conspiracy shit and making the players hate him and the university look bad. Part of the tradeoff for that salary is that he represents the university pretty much 24/7.

Hubbard needs to go after his blackface prime minister on Twitter next.  

I bet he did on Twitter. He just doesn't have power over Trudeau the way he does over Gundy, so there's no story there.

More like you just have to not go out of the way to show you don't really think of the kids as anything beyond football players, but keep on with that victim complex if you want to.

That's right. Scary cancel culture spins out of control and causes...a conversation between the coach and his players where they are allowed to express their frustrations and they record an awkward video where the player apologizes but the coach doesn't.

This is a spot-on Drew imitation.  Congrats.

It is updated almost monthly.
