I have a friend whose dad hung himself in their childhood home a few years ago. Assuming all nooses are racist is the same as thinking cotton is

Here are some of the #MissState football players who took issue with Mike Leach’s tweet. Feel free to reach out and tell THEM how they should feel about it.



How about I don’t give a frick how someone else feels about something? Why do we GAF about feelings instead of actions?

Is Mike Leach racist? Is the meme racist? The answer to both of those is “No” ... that’s all that should matter

They can “feel” however they want. Doesn’t make them right or any less soft.

Why are you mad at that? The tweet author clearly wants people to criticize the players on Twitter.

It seems like he's on your side of this, but you're mad about it.

Also, caring what other people think does matter. Only raging, selfish douches take the attitude that they'll say what they want and don't care abiut others.

The nuance is that some people are too easily offended. It's ok to note that, but just blanket saying you don't care what other people feel...that's just being an a-hole.

Take a deep breath and calm down. It was a corny jokes on twitter. No need to act like a giant bitch about it

Nice deflection bro.

Black people hilariously overreact to something idiotic.
People point out how retarded it is.
Deflect by trying to make it a referendum on the existence of racism.

You're as pathetic as they are.

You can’t tell anyone how to feel, but you also don’t have to give a shite how other people feel, either.

The meme of Al Bundy tying a noose around his neck is my all-time go to meme in life. I guess I was racist this while time.

Can't say I disagree with his choice of words here, Leach knows the right battles to fight, too early to fight MSU before even coaching a game, we can all learn something from how Leach handles these situations

Probably wants to be able to get recruits

He should probably know his audience considering he's in Mississippi (Most lynchings of blacks happen in that state). Mississippi really does make it entirely too easy to negatively recruit them.
