Wow! WTF?
I really don't know what to write. On the one hand, I want to be funny. But, on the other hand, I am seriously pissed about this.
Funny: Can the Griz look at going the SEC route and just assign a girl to each incoming football player?
Serious: These incidents are no longer a just "a one bad apple". Regardless if there is actual legal wrong doing by Jordon Johnson, it is quite clear that the culture of the UM football team is one of power, control, aggression, and narcissism. Frankly, I am sliding closer to the thought that the UM football team should have one or two years suspended from all play. Yeah, you read that right. This is just a game, these players are negatively affecting people for the rest of their lives. Real people.
Preemptively, F-off Player and Growler.
Last year I took my two three-year old girls to a few of the games, and I was looking forward to trying to make it to all of the games with them this next fall. But now, I am thinking that I will find something else to do with them this next fall. If even a fraction of what has been alleged is actually true, then still the Grizzly program still has a serious problem. I am with you, it is hard to root for players when just can't trust that they are decent people. And I surely don't want my girls to grow up admiring these boys when there seem to be such a large collection of creeps in their midst.
And I need to hear outrage from the fans, not a bunch of excuses. This cannot all be the fault of the girls, or Gwen Florio, or anything else other than the football team. There is no way there is this much out there, and not some blame to be had on the part of the football team. And maybe Pflugrad didn't create, or in any way cause this problem, and likely he never even envisioned it, but if he wants to be the leader of this team he had better figure out a way to solve it.
