Kirk Ferentz getting sued for being racist

[CyArob]

Barta will probably just suspend Gary Dolphin again

Yeah I'm starting to think Kirk is gone

He should be out for his statement expressing his wish for the players to bring all this to him first. KF obviously is telling the players he’d have liked to sweep it all under the rug.

Sounds like a bad news for Kirk.

Imagine if the families of recruits read that stuff? Who would want to play for the hawks?

Thinly veiled racist posts

And many overtly racist posts

Honestly, if the shoe was on the other foot and this was about Iowa State and I saw posts similar to what I’ve seen, I’d be pretty ******* embarrassed and ashamed of my fellow fans.

Absolutley. Kind of off topic but I cringe when ISU's Facebook will say happy birthday to Ronnie Harris because he was a deadbeat dad. I wish they wouldnt do it.

Has anyone read these comments on WHO story on Facebook? It is a total embarrassment for the entire state. I always assumed Steve King kept his seat only because the district is overwhelmingly R but now I’m rethinking that. No racism is okay but it’s even more shocking that these people put there name behind it.

Seeing a lot of "I don't support racism, but black players should be thankful to the University of Iowa" type comments from Iowa fans.

Howe, Doyle and you are to blame for all the mess.

I opened up this conversation on another forum. Broader sense but using the voices of Iowa players as examples. One comment I got was essentially this is what happens when you treat college athletes like indentured servants. It’s something to consider. Right now it’s threats of you show up to work or you’re gone and for a small portion of “student” athletes the “student” part is a complete joke. I don’t have the answer but the current set up isn’t it.

Saying student athletes are treated like indentured servants is hyperbole to the max. Of course the expectation is they show up. Who DOESN'T have that expectation? Thats not indetured servitude.

We can have a discussion about fair compensation and racially inappropriate attitudes in college athletics, but stop with the slave inuendo.

Just wait until Colin Cowherd finds out about it.

Cowherd will really run with this and his new version of "Iowa- the Fake ID" will not be good.
