Players and ex-players going after Gundy hard on twitter now. I predict he will get cancelled

Nah. He'll necessarily grovel and apologize for LITERALLY doing nothing more than wearing a t-shirt of a cable channel.

Like Brees, who pathetically apologized, Gundy has a TON of leverage (unless the OSU brass are just looking to get him out).

1. This "racist act" is even less "egregious" than Brees's;

2. He's the winningest coach in OSU history and there's not even a close second. OSU football was largely dogshit (outside of Barry Sanders and a few nice seasons by Less) before Gundy.

3. #2 makes him unlikely to be fired (unless the boosters just hate him). Assuming the boosters are ok with him, firing Gundy over this would be a colossal mistake. Gundy is an alum. Which makes a job that really isn't that attractive, much more attractive to him. If they fire him over this, then (a) good luck finding a quality HC that wants to come to a program who has never been all that good prior to Gundy and (b) to work at a place who fires you for LITERALLY wearing a non-offensive t-shirt;

Cancel culture only stops when someone who did nothing wrong refuses to be canceled. If Hubbard wants to sit out the season, fine. He has the choice to do so. But OSU football existed before him and it will exist after him.

Look at this situation for what it is. You have a player DEMANDING not wear a shirt because the player, subjectively, makes some completely bullshite argument trying to conflate the wearing of that shirt to racism. Send him on his way if he doesn't like it. OSU will be better in the long run rather than caving to this ridiculousness. This has NOTHING to do with "equality" and everything to do with this:
