According to The Lantern on Wednesday, an LGBT group and Ohio State alumni society, Scarlet and Gay, told Urban Meyer that it doesn’t approve of the Buckeyes’ football players earning lavender jerseys for “loafing” in practice. Meyer sent them an apology letter...

quote:
“Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding the purple mesh pullovers,” “The use of purple was never intended to be used to offend anyone, but since it has, we have taken steps to change the color.

Please accept our sincere apologies. We have core values of respect and honor within our program, and these are two principles that are central to my personal life, my coaching and to Ohio State and its athletics programs. Bias has absolutely no role in how we think or operate.”

OSU athletics spokesman Jerry Emig told The Lantern that the program has changed the color of the jerseys to an unspecified hue.

- But also we take great pleasure in humiliating anyone that we feel is not putting out by making them wear some gay looking pullover.

Yea the crooked ones are too soft - that's why they're crooked aint it...cause they're not hard? But Meyer is a double talking fool. Down south we call it lying.
