No, I don’t think there is a racism issue in the Iowa football program. That would require an intent to negatively and disproportionately affect the black players on the team. There were race issues with the Iowa football program, but not racism issues - that’s an important distinction.
Another salient, thought-provoking post from the best and brightest CycloneFanatic has to offer. Thanks for your meaningful contributions, JP4CY!
And when pressed for examples of this unfair treatment, James mentioned not being allowed to wear hats and jewelry in the football complex and listening to country music and classic rock in the weight room instead of rap music. Iowa’s program needed to modernize to adapt to the societal norms of 2020, but demonizing Iowa’s coaches and program as unrepentantly racist as Iowa State fans are doing is laughable.
Jewelry had been a norm the entire time you've been alive, it isnt something new. There might have been more jewelry being worn in the 80s and 90s.
So the language and acts are racist but the people committing them are not. Now I get it.
