Alright. I know that I should probably just ignore them, but holy shite these OM commentators are fanning the flames with the CLK situation.

Between Neal McCready and Chase Parham calling Lane "obsessed" with OM, Steven Willis just calling him an awful human being, and everywhere in between with a show in MS, it is all about Lane Kiffin.

You would have thought Lane said that Oxford is the most racist place in the country with Col Reb dancing on the Lyceum to Dixie.

No. He just said there is a historical stigma around MS. For the black grandparent living in Chicago, I'm going to guess they don't have a high opinion on MS based on their lived experiences. They don't keep up with week to week SEC football and know that OM has come a long way to distance themselves from their past, no, all they know is their experiences. Out of let's say 1,000 kids he talked to, it may have only happened twice, but it's not zero.

One thing for sure is that Lane Kiffin sells. Whether it's the MS guys still bringing him up daily or the national guys in "outrage" for his comments, CLK gets clicks.

BREAKING NEWS

People don't like hearing the truth if it isn't what they want to hear.

Why Lane agreed to an interview with Vanity Fair is unfathomable. Its a self induced error.

I seriously doubt it. All that it has done is bring out the drama queens.

VF will always be controversial to drive engagement; Lane played right into their hands.

And vice versa. Lane thrives on clickbait controversy

Furthermore, our athletic director used it as an opportunity to boost our profile even more, and throw shade on our douchebag ex coach. No publicity is bad publicity...

Hardly. Lane is pissed at OM for not letting him coach in the playoffs. He is on a calculated mission to destroy them

Sports media typically leans pretty left until lane kiffin says something they know is true apparently



The witch hunt for this guy and LSU is just insane

The media loves to build you up and then tear you down. It's what they do. The situation Lane found himself in and the decision he had to make aligned perfectly for the media to make him a villain. Once that die is cast, it will take awhile to reverse it.
I can understand OM and OM fans being p!ssed about that comment. But for sports media to be upset over a comment that wasn't untrue. He didn't slander them and call OM racists. He just said it was a challenge to recruit at times with kids not from the south and their family seeing the symbolism at OM.
That same media in the past had clamored for OM to get rid of the flag, Col Reb, etc. So they are a bunch of hypocrites.

All this stuff is just noise. Wait until the season starts. It’ll be amped up 1000X.
