You all have clearly not paid attention to the press conference that MRI just held. He made clear that he's not focusing on police.
I think the point of the protests is against a societal and institutional racism.
You sure it's not a really good look for the school and the fans for us to give audience for people to say that racism is made up and if you try to combat it that's just a victim mentality? Maybe you just haven't had an opportunity to hear about some of the times that a person who wasn't white did something bad.
Oh man, you're so right. But don't stop there, are you sure it's enough that I just "look the other way"? Maybe you should suggest that I actually like it. That's the assumption, right? I like it when some people die but not other people?
Completely irresponsible of AA in his post. Directed at "Husker Nation?" Really? As if this is how "Husker Nation" thinks? A handful of idiots make these comments and it is "Husker Nation?" What a dolt.
OK - A few red necks make idiotic comments and now I Husker Nation is/are to blame ? Seems unjust to me .... Stereotyping ? Generalizing ? Guess this is why Mike Rose took a knee, but yet here we are... I Coached inner city kids in football, you should have heard what some african americans yelled at me, vile and racist.. I didnt condemn everyone for pete sake...
Maybe dad can tweet this to AA, might remind him of the endless support I can only imagine he received while he attended NU. I would like to know all of the terrible things AA heard as a Muslim African American.
Yes, and I'm quite sure none of that would happen anywhere else, especially the South. I mean, we all know just how sensitive white fans in the South are to racial issues.
Bottom-line is AA is ashamed of us... OK, I will say he made that comment out of frustration. I'll turn the other cheek and say he's a good guy and was glad he came to NU...
There, you've completed the playbook. You went from, "Oh yeah well here's a bad thing that happened to a white person" to "I bet you secretly like it when bad stuff happens" to "black on black crime" in two posts.
Bingo. Part of being a coach is being protective of the player. It is quite possible to be empathetic toward MRI and his feelings on the shootings, encourage civic engagement and action, yet absolutely discourage, and even disallow, for his own sake, a manner of protesting that will make him a target for people who overreact.
And I ask again, if MRI feels he isn't being given a way to express his feelings and that engenders hard feelings from him towards Coach Riley(and maybe some players who agree with him), how does that help the program? Shutting his way to protest down is how you divide the team.
Oh, stop it. People like YOU are the ones encouraging it. If you don't have anything to complain about on the field right now, let's help perpetuate a faux controversy off the field, why don't we?
Great take, it's not the people who n-bomb a player and tell him they want him to hang who did something wrong here. It's the media and the people who were upset by those people lobbing n-bombs and making death threats. WE'RE the ones who made it a problem.
Man, somebody should start a conversation about that. About how it's not right to treat an entire group of people a certain way because you may not like the way a few representatives of that demographic have acted in the past.
If I understand MRI's message correctly, he's letting us know that the shit storm never stopped for some. He just put down his umbrella.
