Bolton on why he left Penn State
- Thread starter CloneGuy8
- Start date
Stevens has since tweeted that he recalls Chambers apologizing to Rasir and the team as a whole the next day.
I struggle with the need for someone to chime in like this as though they know the entire situation. Sure, he was on the team, but it's entirely possible he had a completely different experience than Rasir. Why try to discredit what Rasir's saying just because you had a different experience?
It's no different than the Pat Angerer's of the world coming to Kirk's defense. Fine, Kirk was good to you-- doesn't mean he was that way to everyone.
Well, here's a tweet from Lamar Stevens since deleted:
"Ra has been to 6 or 7 schools in the past 6 years.
Questionable credibility. If the Bolton family is so bothered by how Ra was treated, why was his Dad sitting in our section supporting coach chambers n PSU when we played Georgetown? I watched him hug my teammates and coaches..."
did he abuse players and make racist comments to them? Have players come forward and said he did or said racist things to them?
Our recent fetish for delving into the past of either old or long dead public figures on topics unrelated to what they are really known for reminds me of this quote...
"Don't look for it, Taylor. You may not like what you find."
Never meet your heroes. There is always going to be something there to disappoint.
Ah I misunderstood. I guess it's an emotional situation and he felt the best thing to do was state his feelings. Nothing wrong with that and I'm not advocating. Just a little curious on my end I suppose
Was he overtly racist toward his players and treat his black players more harshly than his white players including doing things like using the N word or words like 'noose' around them?
If so, no.
I know plenty of hard ass coaches but none were racist a holes
I would also say that the fact that Coach Chambers came out quickly with an apology means he knows he did something wrong. Same with these players who are not denying Chambers said such a thing.
But PSU players are already disputing Bolton's assertion that Chambers did not apologize promptly...
Going to be rooting extra hard for this team, hopefully playing a full slate this winter.
Yet another reason PSU is a trash university.

Hard to say he came out "quickly" as we are more than a year removed from the incident.
Simply put, he doesn't feel bad. You know he doesn't. He got caught and the school is making him manufacture an apology. Sounds like Penn State Basketball and Iowa Football have the same PR crisis response team.
