Otis Reese says he was 'manipulated' by Kirby Smart; details experiences of racism

With no word from the NCAA, former Georgia defensive back Otis Reese is appealing to the court of public opinion for his 2020 eligibility. His case includes some explosive accusations regarding Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart and the campus environment at UGA.
Reese, now at Ole Miss, attached a lengthy note in a Tuesday night tweet.
“I have learned recently that UGA has opposed my waiver which is unfortunate considering what I was told when I attempted to leave last year,” Reese writes in the opening paragraph.
Reese said he transferred from Georgia because his time in Athens “took a devastating mental toll” on him, citing multiple instances of observed racism and harassment by police.
As for leaving the Bulldogs football team, Reese shares the following:
“[W]hen I chose to leave the team, I was led to believe by Coach Smart that if I finished the season and not ‘Let my team down’ as he requested, he would support both my decision to transfer and my request to be immediately eligible. (The NCAA has a text message from myself to Coach Smart which verifies my intent to leave on Oct 4th of last season, in which I was manipulated to play the very next day, when I truly was at my darkest moment.),” Reese writes.

Odd place to go if racism is a worry for him.

Cade Mays' lawyer also said UGA had a toxic environment.

Clarke County, GA is one of the most liberal places in the Southeast. Mental toll my arse.

Very likely the case.
But not sure I disagree with his point about pre-COVID transfers having to sit out when the NCAA has already declared this season will not count towards eligibility. This season is already effed up, let the kid play

Interesting how both Mays and Reese are transfers who only said that once their eligibility was in doubt.

Seems like these athletes stories of racism is the male version of #metoo.

Yeah, like anyone won't read that and not think...geez self-serving topical accusation that he figures will be bought hook line and sinker.
He might as well say he was at LeBron's house the night it was spray-painted.
And what is "observed racism?" College Profs told you it was happening from afar?

Welcome to modern day football. Your family either files a lawsuit which you abuse to support your case or you cry racism to be ruled immediately eligible

Is he a person of non-color? Must be if he observed racism

At some point, the race card will lose all value, right?

Both things are important. Racism and sexual assault are awful, awful things. People using a movement is a cop out hurts these movements and it’s a real shame because there are times when people do receive racist treatment or are assaulted, and get dismissed because of false claims other people made in the past.
