Jalen Tabor has an opinion

[RollinVol]

Does UF not offer AA History? Did this kid sleep through it?

All depends. Is it like the UNC AA History classes? If so. he didn't learn much

 

[1972 Grad]

I wonder how many slaves had an entourage...

Kunta Kinte?

 

[Grand Vol]

Kunta Kinte?

I was actually thinking Sheriff Bart

ETA:

Found a better picture of Bart's entourage.

 

[RockyTop411]

maybe with a rudimentary spelling and grammar class thrown in.

How ironic. :lol:

 

[MockingVol]

A lot of kids from poorer communities feel that sports is the only way to get out of the terrible situations they are in. In that respect, you could say that their society is making them play. You could also say that their families are making them play.

They only think that because they don't take school seriously at all, that isn't anyone's fault but them and their parents. If you want to get out of the hood, get your **** together and actually try in school.

They are paid properly in the form of education. If they want some dollars, they are welcome to go to Canada.

lmao such ignorance

No, they aren't. They literally kill themselves and the schools reap billions.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

lmao such ignorance

No, they aren't. They literally kill themselves and the schools reap billions.

Your use of hyperbole is noted.

Such ignorance indeed.

 

[BearCat204]

lmao such ignorance

No, they aren't. They literally kill themselves and the schools reap billions.

You literally have no idea what the word "literally" means

 

[Lawrence Wright]

you literally have no idea what the word "literally" means

And billions?

Florida's Jalen Tabor compares NCAA to 'modern form of slavery' | NCAA Football | Sporting News

Two words:
Privileged and Entitled. Other college students have to sacrifice to meet their goals. Why shouldn't he?

If he does not like it he should pursue other goals.

 

[BearCat204]

And billions?

I was being nice

 

[utvolpj]

I'm amazed that UF doesn't have a history dept so Mr Tabor could learn about slavery. Maybe then he wouldn't make such idiotic comparisons.

They put too much money in the ambulance chasing department

He can leave whenever he wants - slaves could not -- this guy is ignorant

That may be the start of the differences..............there are exponentially more

 

[allvol123]

I don't disagree. Yes, they all get a full ride to get their degree, but they're also playing a sport proven to destroy their brains. Is the scholarship really a fair level of compensation? I hardly believe so.

Proven to destroy their brains? Quite the stretch.

Yep.

 

[Sin City Vol]

Maybe his Jorts were a little tight when he tweeted and it was a mistake

 

[Lawrence Wright]

@_31Flavorz: Went to far with the slavery thing and I apologize , can't let my emotions get to me . But y'all get the message

Tabor sent this follow-up tweet, but the genie is out of the bottle.

 

[PKT_VOL]

Dumb analogy to make in the heat of the moment.

However, it is infinitely more stupid for third party folks who are not in the heat of the moment to defend his comment/innuendo.

 

[allvol123]

Tabor sent this follow-up tweet, but the genie is out of the bottle.

He's right, we get the message. The message that he isnt very intelligent.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

He's no Travis Henry, that's for sure.

 

[onevol74]

I'd like to know who forced Tabor to play against his will, who controls him now and for the remainder of his life, who takes away his freedoms, and who forces him to be held on a pedestal for thousands of fans. Must be some master out there in college football I'm not aware of.

He is insulting the ancestors that truly were slaves.

Disgusting.

In his own entitled and privileged mind he is a slave.

 

[UTK]

Florida Gator. No surprise. Lol

Then don't play, get smart, study and get a scholarship?
