6 on 6 crime

I completely agree with you about how the use of that word makes someone look, and I agree. My argument is how does the use of that word give someone the right to do whatever they want?

touche sir. good point as well. being a dumbass saying dumbass things shouldn't convict you to an injury to that extent.

[Coach34]

Here’s my question. Honestly

I don’t condone the N word at all, what so ever. But when the hell did it become a get out of jail free card when the word is uttered?

It’s perfectly fine (and funny) for black people to call white people crackas, Hillbillies and what not. However, could you see the public outrage if the roles were reversed and Willie Gay had a fractured orbital bone because Shrader punched him in the face after Willie called him a cracka???

Once again, not condoning the use of that word and never will but damn, that can’t be used as means to seriously injuring someone.

I have a hard time believing that happened. Its just a word that isnt used much by the younger generation, Plus, it would pretty much kill his place on a team that is majority black. More than just Gay would have whooped his ass for saying it.

Sounds like they were just jawing back and forth at practice and it escalated. It happens. But I do question Shrader's decision-making quite a bit. Gay is not one of the guys on the team you want to mess with

I personally believe the whole thing is just a symptom of a much larger cultural problem with our program. And the problem is accountability. Just like tutorgate was a symptom of the same thing.

He didn't do what he wanted to with him. People know exactly the extent of the demeaning word when it's used. He deserved to get his ass kicked for it. The reason no one else jumped in was because he got the point afterwards and deservingly so. Jawing is one thing but using the word that demeans a person as scum or suggests your beneath me suggested he wanted whatever that person was willing to dish out.

WAMSU (for the time being)

[confucius say]

Who is reporting the N word? That seems not likely to me. And unless that is well sourced why the hell are we running with that instead of smn like pus-y ass bit-h? Or dumb mother effer.

Jugheads continued culture change. What will be the next shoe to drop ? This is what happens when shit effort management is tolerated.

Then why is he still on team? I would think that this a splinter the could cause a huge rift. If what you are insinuating is true and no discipline is handed down then it's worse than I thought under this coach(clown).

Surely the players are not going to let that stand or is this not as dramatic as you posit?

Not sure you quite get it and you seem to presume the worst on Shrader. No one's words, no matter how bad deserve to have their brain crushed. But we don't even know what actually went down, do we? I'm hoping Shrader's not that dumb but even if he is, no one deserves that type of life threatening response.

Based on all your posts on this thread it’s obvious that you are going to side with gay no matter what and have already made up your mind.

Here are a few FACTS about this whole situation: both players acted like dumbasses in this instance. Gay has acted a dumbass in public (game days) several times this year. IF and that’s a big IF shrader used a racist term to refer to gay it still doesn’t excuse his behavior...which apparently some think it should. I personally have a hard time believing he did say that particular word...I’d be much more willing to believe he used another term and in gay’s mind he took it as a racial slur...as we know a ton of this goes on nowadays. However o have no insider knowledge and am just gleaning from reasonable bits of info.

The bigger issue here, as others have stated is that this is just another embarrassing and unacceptable piece to the jomo puzzle that should have been completed last month.

No one. Lots of conjecture from people who are making assumptions based on zero evidence.

It got asked on Genespage is this was true and Paul Jones said. "We can't report on what was said unless we are 100 % sure in a situation that involved that kind of language". You can take that however you want to take it. If there was nothing to that rumor it would get shot down in a hurry by that bunch I can promise you. Willie Gay didn't break our quarterback's face for nothing. I'm not saying that he is not in the wrong in this situation. I'm Just saying that maybe we should hold off thinking he wasn't provoked in a way that many people would respond similarly, right or wrong. The absolute best case scenario is for this to get swept under the rug if that did happen because we don't need that kind of media attention.

Yes because Willie Gay has a history of being calm, cool, and collected.**

My take on that is Paul doesn't want to report something incorrectly. I'm with Coach34 on this. If he said that it would have been more than Gay beating him up.

The rest of the team was greeting Purvis who surprised them at the end of practice. I would imagine that they all assumed a broke eye socket of the qb was enough no matter what was said. Those guys are well aware of that rumor and have not squashed it. Hopefully it's not true.

Who? The players? Odds are high because of the situation with Purvis probably very few there heard what was said right before the punch. There were probably 100 people there and none were focused on Shrader and Gay at that moment until they started fighting.

Paul also said that a lot of the rumors that he has seen are pretty crazy and not true as well.

Both players are at fault. But allegedly saying our QB said the n word based on what at this point is rumor without 100% fact is irresponsible.

[Todd4State]

But hey! Let's come up with rumors about our players because we don't like the coach because just losing games doesn't get the point across.

I didn't say anything and I'm not make anything up. Try reading my post again. Merry Christmas.

A fight that ends up with your quarterback being sidelined for a game is a big deal no matter how much people want to act like this is normal. It's not normal at all for a quarterback to get knocked out of a future game on purpose by his teammate.
