He said playing for Iowa was like a living nightmare. Any truth to this or is it just a bunch of bullshite? If it was so bad why didn’t he leave?

Sounds like he is crying on social media just like the okie st player. Grown arse men crying because a coach got on their asses.

You know how many times a coach screamed profanities at me. A BUNCH

My high school basketball coach threatned to slit someones neck. Exact words:

"If I had a knife right now, I would cut your throat"

We all laughed after the fact and went about our day. Good times. Of course this was 20 years ago.

Was he the only one who was given community service hours? Waiting for the rest of his team mates to speak out.

Lol, a living nightmare you can willingly and voluntarily walk away from and escape literally any minute you choose to.

He also alleges that Iowa targeted him and other Black players for not gaining enough weight during the season, which led to him bingeing on shakes before workouts and becoming sick.

So let's break down Mr. Wadley's "oppression" at Iowa.....

1. Coach makes a joke about him wearing a beanie at practice.

2. He parked in an unapproved parking spot and got yelled at by a coach.

3. Coach Ferentz makes a comment about distractions during bowl week after being asked a question about Wadley being back in NY

4. His school therapist whose name he can't remember left the school.

5. He wasn't allowed to be on Twitter

6. Ferentz gave him prepared statements for press conferences.

7. He never drank alcohol before college but playing football at Iowa forced him to become an alcoholic. It wasn't college partying that made him drink.

8. He couldn't make weight so Ferentz cut off his meal plan. Wadley proceeds to get Domino's pizza to show how dedicated he is to his body and the team.

9. Coaches said mean things about black players.

10. He had to do 20 hours of community service.


Am I missing anything?

Wadley and his mom were begging Iowa coaches to offer Wadley's younger brother last fall too. I wonder what has changed in the last six months for them to do a complete about face?

Also, Wadley had to go back on his Twitter and clean up a lot of posts. Here is one of them where he basically misses the days of his Iowa football career and drinking shakes and stuff, which is one of his main complaints now.

Treating everyone like a team is now being racist.

What's next basic training?

I had to call from mother from New Jersey at 10 or 11 pm at night because I was hungry so I could order Dominos Pizza for me


The horror.

Also if calling the police comes from a place of privilege then calling your mom to order you a pizza must too right??

It's crazy how pussified the younger generation is these days.

Had similar arse chewings but I sure didn't whine and cry like these babies are doing. Like you said, we laughed about it and moved on.

So to summarize, anything you ever said, in any manner in which you said it can years later be deemed racist and posted by idiots online.

Got it.
