Well this isn't the best look for the program... Neither Strong's tweet, or Wilder's reply.

I think it was something about solidarity and how he created the circle of unity... I saw a post about that the other day, and I think it is gone now, so can't be certain that was the one, but just kinda assuming.

Edit:
Never mind, that tweet is still there, so I have no idea what he deleted.

At this point Bobby just needs to keep his mouth shut and not talk about Old Dominion football.

The larger problem in my mind is them wearing shirts causes rich white people to get upset and stop funding/harming the program. Unfortunately that causes pressure on the athletic program no matter what Direction they go in. We would all love to say we would have taken a stand but put yourself in that position.....

I have no clue on what the original tweet was but I also understand why Kesean is upset. Having met him he comes across as a very nice young man and I wish this was hashed out in person and not on twitter. But there are strong emotions involved and in general white people need to shut up and respect that.

After reading Strong's tweet and now this from Fulgram...damn there is some problem at the higher level. Don't know if this matter regarding the 2016 incident was straight from BW 's advice, or from higher ups. I want someone fired this week's. ACT NOW !!

Channel 3 has it now.

Pretty bad to tank it because the coach has a different political viewpoint. My view of humankind just keeps plummeting. This certainly explains the last 2-3 foootball seasons and puts it in perspective. I guess Bobby lost control and had to go either way, but I'm sickened.

He’s not wrong you know

The issue was not the cause of social justice reform. We all support unjustified or unarmed killing of anyone by police. The issue with BLM was the fact that they wanted to "fry police like the pigs they are" and want to defund police. Just go to their website. Their message was of violent nature.
They paint a picture that all police are bad and need to go away. That is totally not the case.

Razor, right on. Proud of this young man.

Black folks have been saying they have been abused at the hands of police for years and years and years And years. If after seeing the two videos that have recently been released, black men being murdered And caught on tape, one by four cops in Minneapolis and one by an ex cop in Georgia and you still don’t get it, well, I guess you will never get it or care. It is disgusting and wrong. Seeing what happened to George Floyd has keep me up every night lately. It is sickening and wrong.

Here’s a story that has stuck with me for the last 30 years or longer. The neighbor who lived next to us growing up was a nice friendly African American guy named Joe. Both he and his uncle worked at the ports of Virginia and had great jobs. His uncle always wanted a Mercedes and finally got one. He was so proud. After he got stopped about five times by police while driving, for doing nothing but driving in an expensive car, he went and bought a chauffeurs hat to wear while he drove. He was never stopped again. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? When my dad told me that story at first I thought, hey that’s a smart move. It wasn’t long before I figured out that is just flat wrong and disgusting.

Things need to change now. Thank you Travis Fulgham for bringing this to light.

Total fabrication. I went to their web-site. Read for yourself.

The messaging has since changed.

I do agree that BLM has legitimate gripes and makes valid points backed up by individual examples of abuse of power.

I do not agree that "the cops" are a problem.

The problem is the profession contains 800,000 Americans put in high stress confrontational situations. Fact of the matter is there are always going to be individual examples of lack of self-control. Same thing happens in the armed forces everytime they are put in combat. Are they motivated by racism? I don't know. If so, that part needs to be stomped out obviously, however possible. However, I don't think there will ever be a solution that stops these individual examples from popping up. Just too many police put in too many situations. I'm all ears, but I just don't know what can be done. I could understand if this was happening across the rural deep south, but Minneapolis? Ferguson? Are you meaning to tell me these modern American cities under progressive leadership don't already have diversity programs and touchy feely training in place. If that is the case, what else can you do other than fire and charge these individuals? I'm at a loss.

Plenty of former players picking up on it now. X, Drayton.

Like someone else said, wonder if this is why his last seasons were such a flame.

It would be great if the system always worked out that way. But we needed protests just to get Floyd's killer arrested. And considering the other three officers that failed to intervene when Floyd was murdered have yet to be charged, there's a lot more they can do to deliver justice.

Agree...not a fan of the violence that has occurred, but something more needs to happen.

Sorry Mac...they actually have a petition going on in the website to sign. I went to the website before I posted it. Also they had a scrolling article that talked about defunding police. Just on the news ....I saw a BLM organizer wearing his BLM shirt in LA with a bull horn leading a chant saying DEFUND the POLICE !
also...directly from the website on May30. it starts with #defundthe police. See the Demands | Sign the Petition. You can apologize anytime. I would not fabricate anything as serious as that. Also they do chant Pigs in a blanket fry like bacon.
FINALLY...PLEASE look up the data, but since the 60's the number of police shootings of unarmed blacks have decreased substantially. I am not saying one isn't bad. I am saying that it is NOT systematic and progress is being made. Maybe not fast enough. Also...there is one root cause for bad police remaining on police forces and liberals are not going to like it. It is called police unions ! This Chauvin guy was protected 18 time prior by the police union.
