They got booted for their mistakes, Kirk got a raise…….
How well do you know him? Been to his house? Been to his office?
He rechewed a piece of his gum. So he is at one with him.
You are truly one of the dumbest mother ******* to post on this board
Are you going to call out the guy who claimed pedophilia and rape the same as making a guy wear a trashcan for an hour same thing?
I put him on ignore a few days ago. I highly recommend it.
Never saw the post but I'll publicly say right now that one of those acts is not the same as the other. Not even in the same stratosphere. I never equated the acts of rape, pedophilia, or racism though. Each one of those is terrible individually and to try and tell someone their situation isn't as worse as rape would be minimizing the trauma they went through.
The situations such as Nassar at Michigan State, JoPa and Sundusky at PSU, and Kirk at Iowa are all different and terrible in their own ways. I will not compare any of the acts. The thing you can compare is the power situations of specific people that allowed certain acts to be committed under their watch and failed to stop them / even care about them.
He's saying they're ALL bad and you can't water down what Kirk Ferentz allowed because "Hey, it's not as bad as the Penn State coach who was touching kids." I think that's a fair thing to say wouldn't you?
He literally said in his opening line that they are equally deplorable acts. I don’t think there’s anybody in their right mind that can equate them.
First, you’re assuming he actually thinks racism is bad, he’s never once even said that in this nonsense
Imagine trying so hard to defend racists, because you support them, that you are reduced to a pathetic attempt at semantics.
I guess I didn't read it as each single one is the exact same as the other. I read them as they're all deplorable. They're all bad. Because they are. I don't think anything else really needs to be said on that.
Like I said in my other post. No one defends David Duke cause he wasn't touching kids. Racism is bad. Pedophilia is bad. People that do those things should see repercussions. At a minimum you'd think that should cost someone their job. Penn State understood that. Society took it a step further and put Sandusky in jail. Should Kirk go to jail? No. Should there be repercussions for reprehensible acts? Absolutely.
I agree, not excusing racism whatsoever. I can’t define racist acts for African-American people though. There’s definitely a handful of stories i.e. telling the kids they can go back to the ghetto, that are overtly racist. But several of the stories that came out I didn’t view as racist because I could’ve just as easily envisioned myself saying the same things to my white friends. I.e. you wearing that mask to go rob a liquor store. I think the overall insensitivity of the staff between the Kallenberger story and Brian Ferentz just being an outright ******* needed to be addressed.
You don't have to have a winning case to file suit. And law suits tend to bring light to things that the participants might want kept in the dark. If you know you don't have a winning case but you know that the opposition doesn't want related things to see the light of day you can "win" a settlement.
OK I agree with that. There’s many bad things that happen but that doesn’t make them equally bad. Personally from what I’ve read, Doyle absolutely had to go. Brian probably should’ve gotten fired but at minimum should’ve been suspended. I think if Kirk didn’t have his overall “good guy” reputation to that point, he would’ve been canned as well.
