What is screwed up it should have gone to double OT. But for some reason they declared the white chick the winner for some apparent tie breaker they conducted yesterday.

The problem is it looks like they awarded the white chick the 100k when the tie-breaker rules were not transparent to the audience. It looked rigged.

I was looking for this thread. What a load of crap by Dr Pepper.

No chance they do this if the roles were reversed.

I don’t agree at all… if they had not tied TWICE… I don’t think anyone would have minded had it been straight up.
Stop adding drama where there is none.
Everyone at the party I was at wanted both to be awarded the scholly… had nothing to do with color or political affiliation.
No one saw the “tiebreaker” they both agreed to before the competition.
Just stop.

Agree. I didn't like the outcome because I wasn't aware of the tiebreaker rule. Maybe they need to have the ref's give the rules if they have them. Don't publicize a contest by putting it on tv without showing us the contest.

"Dr. Pepper"?!!

It's actually Dr Pepper, no period involved. Y'all engaged in the soft drink equivalent of misgendering!

To avoid these kind of issues in the future only like races should compete together. Segregate us.

That is how I see it. Despite the MSM’s obsession over the issue, most people don’t view everything through a racial prism.

With that said, certainly I think it is possible that the woke PR agents at a massive soft drink corporation advised to ignore the agreed upon rules and declare both contestants winners over fear there would be claims of racial favoritism. And lo and behold, because of such woke culture, claims of racial favoritism are what we are left with just the same.

So something as culturally benign as a goofy football toss becomes controversial and racially toxic. Everything progs touch turns to sh*+.

We have had this kind pandering shoved down our throats since 2020 and we are sick and tired of it.

The rules were agreed upon by both participants.

Right when the second round ended in a tie, the black contestant pointed to the other player as if to say “she won.” She probably would have been elated with $20K for just tossing footballs at a comically large cold drink can. I don’t believe she personally had anything to do with the rule change.

The rules are clearly spelled out with a simple google search. Isn’t that how society gets their information these days. I guess not in this case. Hmmmmm. Libs gonna lib.

It's only 100k that's not a huge deal for Dr pepper.

That's not the point. It’s the obvious double standard where the woke mafia holds America hostage with the race card.

I personally don’t care who wins those things. White, black, brown, yellow; it doesn’t matter. It’s cool for someone to be blessed with such an opportunity and the race or skin color doesn’t matter. The problem is that the rules were ignored due to an attempt to be sensitive to a vocal group of people that see race and injustice everywhere they look.

Anybody who watched that live came away wishing both gals got the $. The UGA fans were booing bc it was so shitty that the black girl lost that way - they were both fantastic and it was a really compelling competition.

This isn't worth being upset about - I honestly think Dr. Pepper might have done the same thing if the girls skin tones were reversed and I'm happy they both got the money. I get there's a double standard sometimes but let's just be happy on this one.

Nothing wrong with it working out for everyone.
