I still can't understand what is racist about wearing a t-shirt with the logo of a news website you don't like.


OAN fervently supports Trump. Trump pimps OAN. Trump is racist, therefore OAN is racist.

Unfortunately, that is as shallow as many people think.

Why, because he decided OAN wasn't worth losing his job over? Total pussy


I can't read the shirt, but I thought the news network was OANN, not OAN.

ETA, never mind...looks like it's known as both.

To that end though, anyone (players included) should be free to not want to play for him and voice that opinion, just like Gundy should be free to wear that shirt and say whatever he wants to say. This is America, after all.

The left has totally abdicated their position to the Marxists. The Marxists have won the culture war.

That’s the problem. People quickly start lumping false equivalences together, then suddenly an entire sector of a country is suddenly racist.

The right is racist, so therefore anyone associates or agrees with them on any point is racist. At least, that’s what it feels like. Especially when anyone who doesn’t support BLM is thrown in there as well.

I’m moderate and feel completely ostracized from the current left.

OAN denies the BLM movement exists, claiming it's a Soros funded political action front perpetrated by the left. That's why the black player was pissed and why Gundy needed to apologize.

Folks opened the door to this when they started arguing that college student-athletes should be "paid". This is only the beginning.

F this.

When is someone gonna come out and say, "I met with some players because they didn't like the shirt I was wearing. I told them I'm a man, I'm like almost 60 now, so suck it up buttercup or feel free to transfer. Your choice. Good talk."

That doesn’t necessarily mean that Gundy believes that, though. People have many different beliefs, often some even contradicting one another. Why does a single shirt to a news organization suddenly mean he’s insensitive?

OAN’s entire purpose isn’t to just promote that. This isn’t like he’s wearing a Klan hood.
