Former University of Tennessee head football coach Jeremy Pruitt claims he was influenced by the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor when he made payments to players and their families.


quote:

According to records obtained by Knox News, Pruitt cited Floyd and Taylor when explaining to investigators why he gave a player’s mother $300 in a Chick-Fil-A bag.

“Then you throw in George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, OK,” Pruitt said, “so you sit there as a white man and you see all of this going on and you can see these kids suffering … (It’s) pitiful when you sit in a room and you hear grown men, and I’m talking about our coaches too, when they talk about growing up and the circumstances that they’ve been under, because it’s hard for a white man to understand, right.”

Pastor Pruitt was merely doing the Lord's work for equality. CAN'T YOU RACISTS UNDERSTAND?

So his not racist response is, "hey you're black, take some money so I feel less racist." He cared about wins, and if those players were not good athletes he'd have locked his doors and ran red lights to keep from having to look at them on the street.

Poor lady thought Pruitt was handing out free chicken sandwiches. I bet she was pissed when she got back home, and realized he only gave her money to buy it herself.

I mean, I doubt he's carrying around empty bags, I'm sure there was some chicken in there.

Pruitt is taking a stab at the Penny Hardaway "I give money to a lot of people" defense, I see. Sorry Pruitt, but that only works for Penny because he doesn't know the rules.
