Players and recruits read this stuff. I know the standard answers are: all fans do it and the players can't be so thin-skinned. But these young people use electronic forms as their primary means of communication. They are more conscious and sensitive to the underlying message in these post. MSU is not Bama...we don't have the luxury of losing good players/recruits due to some fans living in times past. And I know for a Fact that some tweets costed a football recruit this year.
THIS BOARD ATTACKS WHITE COACHES AND PLAYERS ALL THE TIME!!! gtf out of here with that "any criticism of McCray-Pinson is racist"

A large percentage of this board wanted Mullen fired after '16, and he's still criticized.

A large percentage of this board wants Cohen gone

A large percentage wants Howland gone

A large percentage referred to white baseball player Alexander as "Foam Bat" due to his lack of power.

The ENTIRELY of the board wanted JoMo fired and a lot of anger was displayed about it.

A large percentage of the board is still saying Leach wont' work here, and many literally wanted him fired after game 3.

BUT, when a black coach publicly supports left leaning politics AND the on court play is far worse than we've grown accustomed too, then any criticism of her is motivated by racism alone?

If this board really is racist against her then we're 10x as racist against whites, because the VAST majority of the hate is thrown at white employees. Most hate at players is towards black players, but then again most players are black, so what do you expect? White players get crapped on too, and black players get loved on.
