Honest question regarding the fractures within the team:

How much of this has to do with Ryan Clark and the political activism of the offseason. Covid and the media gave these players plenty of time to get involved. It galvanized some teams, but that doesn’t appear to be the case with ours.
Is it completely unrelated to the suckage on the field? Is it simply a footnote? Or should we have seen it as a bigger issue?

I still stand with the sensible faction of fans that argue no young man would put a small political squabble in the way of a potential future NFL contract

Everything this year is bothering everyone, weather it's background or up front in your face.

No factor when they win but all important when they lose.

I highly doubt it’s any issue at all within the team.
Fans are more pissed that Ryan has the fricking audacity to come at our program and try to hurt it.
He’s still butthurt that they didn’t want Jordan, his son.

I see no correlation at all. What we're seeing is a coaching issue combined with the effect of opt outs that resulted from this pandemic. Politics has nothing to do with the product that we're seeing on the field. Ryan Clark has nothing to do with the product that we're seeing on the field.

Is there even one shred of real evidence that there is a fracture working the team over politics other than idiotic speculation from the rant?

Some of the players from the last year are probably wondering why they aren’t in the NFL and in my opinion aren’t giving it their all. The pandemic is furthering their lack of engagement. It’s just an opinion.

I really don't think that's an issue at all.
Just put it in the simplest of terms: Who's teaching them? Are the players improving? Are they regressing?
There have been no adjustments and players that lit it up last season look mediocre at best this season.
There's some disconnect between them and the DC.
The OL needs improvement too. But I think the focus should be on the defense. We look lost. That's on Pelini. O earned my trust after last season but it's definitely shaken now and I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels like that.
Pelini has proven to be not a good coach. Look at the games. The results speak for themselves. If O sticks with that, he's really making a bad decision. In my opinion.
The Alabama game is going to be horrible, Ole Miss has a good QB, even Arkansas, they have a better defense than us and we have more talent. That right there is a fact and it's insane to say, "let's give it more time." A&M? Florida? Really?
I don't understand the Pelini defenders and making up excuses like "we're young" and blah blah.
We have the talent to beat these teams. I don't think anyone will disagree with that. We don't have the right coach to coach the guys we have.
I expected a drop off from last season but no one expected this. This is inexcusable.
No such thing as bad student, only bad teacher.

IMO I think a coach should have kept his political opinion to himself. It’s a polarizing issue. I didn’t see Saban or Dabo revealing their choice for president. It was a stupid thing to do. The fans may like it, but many of the players may not have.

It’s a huge issue w this roster. We can only hope the ilk gets runoff before next year.

IMO the politics and social justice advocacy fractured the locker room. Not just Clark. The margin for error in the SEC for a team with 17 new starters is very very small. Getting beat in every phase of the game.
There were some IG messages from players earlier in the summer asking racists to unfollow them.

The linebackers are the weakest link on defense. Pelini is the linebackers coach. The defense looks awful, Pelini is the dc. Ryan Clark is not the issue.

We lost 19 starters:
Joe Burrow - NFL Rookie of the year
Clyde - NFL rookie of the year runner-up
Jetts - NFL rookie of the year candidate
Chase - Future NFL All Star
Moss - Record setter at LSU
Saahdiq - Started a game in the NFL before injury
MaGee
Cush - Day one starter in the NFL
Damien Lewis - Kicking the piss out of NFL linemen
Rashard Lawrence - Made NFL Roster
Tyler Shelvin - Sitting out; expected top two rounds in NFL draft
K'Lavon Chaisson - First round NFL draft choice
Patrick Queen - First rounder; AFC defensive player of the week!
Jacob Phillips - Made NFL roster
Grant Delpit - NFL Injured reserve; 2nd round draft choice
Kristian Fulton - Kicked arse in NFL before injury
Why do you continue to look for other reasons? Let me ask this; what do you think caused Abe Lincoln's death?
