This is a 100% accurate statement. Although the real hope is that the coaching staff is setting the right precedent for the fans (see the movie Remember the Titans), but in this case the football staff is only fueling the inequities.Anyone remember the ISU fans were hurling epithets? Our black players being arrested? Anyone here think we're the model for racial diversity at ISU? What happens if black student or past student athletes let THEIR personal experiences be known while at ISU and they weren't all great?
This is a national racial inequality / injustice issue not a football rivalry issue. Again - nothing I know of has immunized Ames other than nobody has unearthed our hidden secrets yet.
