Idiots in every fan base, I hope the whole team kneels.
Doesn't excuse him for a blatant lie.
He should have scrubbed his FB as good as he had Wadley scrub his Twitter feed.

Don't know why he lied. Could've easily said he made contact with him and shared him an idiot Iowa fan's take. It would've meant nothing.
Did you see the professional memo he sent to cancel his interview?
"To whom they be concerned".
Seriously, the former players didn't need a platform. With social media they can get their stories out to the masses just fine. Do you think the only reason Wadley's story was picked up by ESPN was because RTG put it out there?
This whole thing started because James Daniels published a tweet. If Wadley would have done it on his own it would have gotten just as much traction.
23 days in and the "investigation" team hasn't even contacted these victims..it sounds like they need all the help they can get
I saw that and it makes me sad that we're attacking him because he actually might not be great at putting messages out their or public speaking. He looks like he cares about these issues. Look at his social media. He's very outspoken about all of these racial issues, especially in sports.
I will agree in that these players may not have needed his platform specifically, but let's not make this entire situation about this guy.
I understand he didn't want to come off as "that guy who tweets at recruits", I'm just saying in that situation where you actually did it, just say you did and explain why.
A professional organization doesn't send memos like that. You were the one calling him professional earlier today.
A college football coach doesn't allow racism in their program. Is Kirk Ferentz not a college football coach?
I don't think you really want to have that conversation about what professional organizations should and should not do..
I didn't get a memo from him. Who did he send the memo to? I've worked with people very high up in their profession that have poor grammar or typos while emailing from their phone
Additionally, it says "My Green" instead of "Mr. Green" in his memo which I didn't even notice.
That has nothing to do with writing or speaking skills, that is just complete sloppiness.
You're latching onto something meaningless. Say this guy is the most unprofessional person in the world. How does that change these guys' stories?
Yet they be owning University of Iowa in Public Relations.
It is not a good look challenging and mocking his urban dialect. Proves whiteness.
KCCI reporting that 80% of the layoffs at University of Iowa are women!! What next? Another black eye for the U of I!!
