Niko tweet

Not surprising but hilarious nonetheless.

The pitchfork folks are all calling for his head on Twitter, shocker. I am actually surprised at the number of people who are saying "he corrected a kid to not use the word and is now the bad guy?"

Not sure what to make of this since Muck hasn’t weighed in...

Take it easy on the Muckster...heck, he's got gazillions of other people's tweets and posts to cut and paste into what he'll stick his byline over. Takes time to do all that.

My sense is that this will not have any legs beyond a day or two.

Also, it's honestly nice to have a thread which deals at least in part with actual football practices as a part of the driver.

That's until next week when Muck decides to do a follow up to the story to bring it back into the spotlight

There is no room for debating things nationally anymore. Once people have their mind made up, that is it. The same people calling for racial equality and racism are in turn the same people calling others names. Just a sad world we live in.

Let's face it, the human being is a pretty sorry-ass animal.

GP was calling him out for breaking a rule and saying the word in meetings. He quoted the word. Now the word is not acceptable, but GP quoting him as for why he was sending him pit is not the same as GP saying the word on his own.
Player does not like that he is not getting playing time so he went down this road. But players who were there are coming out to set it straight.

Niko's former teammate calling him out.

If LHCGP said that, then it was dumb. There are consequences for dumb things.

he called a player out for using the word, as reasoning for why he was getting downed. and the player went and told people he called him the word. two different things, and other players back GP. Whether GP should have used the actual quote of what the kid said is a debate item. But this is not something GP should be in trouble for. Looks like Niko and some others ran with something that was not fact. Which is why they are deleting it.

The kid is soft and a brat, work him. Call him out for breaking the rule.

I think Patterson survives, the amount of players supporting him is a very good sign. If he had done something egregious, he would already have resigned.

Open question: Is it culturally inappropriate to bar the use of that word by Black players in the course of football operations?

I'm no lawyer, but is it right to think that 1st amendment protections don't apply in employment settings (presuming football operations are employment settings)?

Enquiring minds wish to know.

So, nobody cares that he seems to have used the "F" word too? That would probably get him banned on here.

welcome to football.

Team Rules are Team Rules.

I know Charlie Strong prohibited his players from using the word "[ hundin]"

don't believe 247 or the other site are pushing an agenda, but instead pushing the idea of a story to generate clicks.

they don't give a [ Cumbie’s red zone playcalling ] if the story is right, who gets hurt, or the damage done. merely do they get attention

to some extent it has always been that way as tabloids and yellow journalism isn't new, but social media where any idiot can repost a story and spread it around the world has spun this all out of control.

guys like niko who have a beef are the one's that bother me the most. you can't move forward living in the past.

Did JC at 247 run with this without all the facts or something?
