This is how it would go. Bobby puts out statement a and doesn’t use words like Kneel or use the proper emoji. The Karen’s are right there to rake him over the coals like Drew Brees.

I believe it was the Black players on Brees’ team that educated him on their experiences. Are these the Karen’s that you are referring to?

And keeping it in the locker room is Bobby being Bobby. That is why I was curious if he had done something out of character on this issue.

I don’t expect for there to be just social media posts. But the local media just interviewing the black coach and not the white coach is a form of racial profiling. It subtly suggests that this is a Black issue not a Human-rights issue.

I believe that the press works best when it asks questions that are not easy to answer for those that are asked the questions. Whether it was Fox questioning Obama or MSNBC and CNN questioning Trump I like to see hard questions asked. Softball interviews where the interviewee spouts off their views with no tough follow-ups aren’t what I think should be acceptable by Americans.

Sometimes our blind wrongness stumbles us in to an eye opening situation and we realize what it takes to correct our wrongness. That’s what happened to Drew. He’s now a more complete person for it.

You guys will be playing football this fall. With fans. Cats will be doing the same. With the fans.

Every day this virus looks less and less scary. If those that are out there that still may be scared, they should definitely stay home and avoid large gatherings. The rest of us should be in our seats. Very few will get sick. Less will be hospitalized. None will die. Hospitals will be fine.

See ya all in November.
 
Griz football is so big that Covid19 will take a day off. Rumor has it Covid19 will be given the presidential suite so it too can enjoy the game before going back to work bright and early sunday morning following the game. Not sure if Covid19 will get the same treatment at Scats stadium or not.
 
I don't know if Coach Hauck has to make any type of statement addressing societal problems at this juncture in his career. Certainly there are systemic problems we don't need to discuss as obvious as they are built into the conference the school is a member of that are painful to watch. I refuse to accept home court or home field advantage when observing Big Sky, Mountain West, Pac 12 or WCC officiating nor do I just brush it off as poorly trained when there is an obvious bias on the part of many officials. We all watch how bad they are and accept it. It mirrors societies acceptance of the underlying feelings and emotions toward our fellow man. Bias is bias. We can and should do better at addressing the issues rather than put on a phoney facade and pretend we deeply care in front of a camera in a time of national awakening. Actions speak louder than words.
