I'm sorry.
I would never disrespect you.
Never, ever, your children

My son is 6'3 235 though. I'm trying to get him to walk on next year somewhere at DT. He'd need to convert to DE, LB or gain weight.

Good luck to him for football
But the education is the best

I don't watch the news at all anymore, only sports and my shows, so forgive me if I'm getting this wrong.

Someone painted swazi's with their own shit, school does nothing, players protest, and you guys want to make the story about the players and coaches being scum here? If one of my kids painted swazis with his shit at school, I'd have his ass far more than anything these players are doing. Maybe some of these college kids don't think the rules of civilization apply to them. Though maybe I can't relate because I didn't go to college. I do know that had I done this in the military as 17 year old kid, there would be consequences. Hell if I worked at Mcdonalds and painted swazi's with my shit in the break room and Mike B didn't fire me, he'd be out of a management job.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they have an idea who the perpetrator of the shitty swastika is. So, they are protesting because an anonymous person did something.

All I know is what I read here so I don't know any of that, whether there was non investigation, or if it was handled as kids being kids, this is non story for me and why I don't watch the news. College kids not playing football just isn't a big deal to me. As a parent would you be more disappointed in your kid if he didn't play a game out of protest, or if he painted swazis with his shit?

Well, obviously I wouldn't want either but I definitely wouldn't want my kid trying to end a man's career over an anonymous shitty swastika.

Isn't the Swastika an anti-semitic symbol, representing a hatred of Jews? Guess they skipped history class.

Erm nope bud...

The Swastika (also known as the gammadion cross, cross cramponnée, or wanzi) (as a character: 卐 or 卍) is a symbolthat generally takes the form of an equilateral cross, with its four legs bent at 90 degrees.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP] It is considered to be a sacred and auspicious symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism.[SUP][3][/SUP]
It has been used as a decorative element in various cultures since at least the Neolithic, and is found on a man's tunic depicted in a Roman mosaic at the Villa Romana del Casale in Sicily. It also appears on a mosaic floor at the Lullingstone Roman Villa in Kent, England. It is known most widely as an important symbol long used in Indian religions, denoting "auspiciousness." It was adopted as such in pre-World War I-Europe and later, and most notably, by the Nazi Party and Nazi Germany prior to World War II. In many Western countries, the swastika has been highly stigmatized because of its use in and association with Nazism.[SUP][4][/SUP] It continues to be commonly used as a religious symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism.[SUP][3][/SUP]

I live in a middle class mostly mexican neighborhood. My wife's mexican and my kids are German/Mexican. Their elementary school is also mostly mexican. Anyway over the weekend a few years ago someone or group broke into their school and spray painted huge swastikas literally on every door and every wall in the whole school. I remember dropping them off on a monday morning to swazis everywhere, and my kids wanted to know what it was and why people did it. I guess I could have told them that it was the buddhist just spreading the Buddha love. My point is calling these kids stupid or uneducated in history because they saw it as motivated by racism and not a symbol of love is some bull shit.

There has to be more to the story. It doesn't make a bit of sense.

I would have also had all the 30 something players that threatened to sit out next week police escorted off campus and scholarships revoked and had a restraining order on all of them baring them from being within 500 feet of school property .

Unless again there is something that we have not been told.

You never let the tail wag the dog under any circumstance.

Also better to take a short term loss in favor of showing them who's boss.

You can look for several copy cat boycotts at other universities due to the pussy way this university handled this situation .

It has been reported that one of the major complaints is that only 10% of the students are black.

This is one of the saddest examples of poor leadership I've ever seen in my life
 

L5Y, USC is 4-0 vs SEC, outscoring them 167-48!!!

there's got to be more to this. I would think it has to do with dollars. If the football team doesn't play the university (or athletic department) loses millions does it?
