Their silence in this thread speaks volumes. You know those obsessive weirdos are reading it.
I guess at least no one has been here to blame the parents of the kids for Kirk’s racism yet. So there’s that

With any luck we will be there by Tuesday.

The optics of that look fantastic when you remember that program is getting sued in Federal Court by former players citing racism.

For some reason I found myself in the replies on a recent Register article on this topic and whooowee were there some interesting ones on there. I guess Kirk, like any good politician, has a good understand of his constituency.

Considering people treat some politicians and political parties like a sports team it is not that surprising.

I think you guys all need to ask yourself this question:

1. Do you want young men to no longer be discriminated against based on their skin color?
2. Do you want to know if football players like pineapple on their pizza?

You already admitted you have "a blindspot" but then you permanently nix the one thing that was supposed to help you with said blindspot.
It’s even better when you realize Iowa even gave him an out to make changes a full year before it became public with an internal report.

None of that changed anything. None of the pretend committee changes anything.

Iowa isn’t a national program, so the story died

Crazy that none of the people that so vociferously defended Kirk are silent on this.

I've seen Iowa fans defend the decision because it was recommended by the athletic department's DEI person. But wasn't the whole point of the committee to get input from outside the department?

Lew is a died in the wool hawk. Kirk controls the ad. He doesn’t control outside forces.

This way, nothing has to happen.

Iowa media and Hawk fans trying to downplay all of this and saying everything is fine.
