PSA : Stop Tarnishing the Tennessee Brand

[Rickyvol77]

This lady has multiple videos of her out. She was also spewing homophobic rhetoric. However, on the local news she stated “We need to stand united, We’re not black. We’re not yellow. We’re not white. We are America.” She really put on a real show yesterday.

Oh the horror! Definitely worth the pearl clutching

As an alumni of the University of Tennessee and lifelong fan, I would greatly appreciate it if those who lack the character of a decent human being would stop wearing the Tennessee brand when you are out acting a fool. I don’t want to share the video in the hopes that it won’t go viral, but actions like the one depicted in the video hurt the Tennessee brand tremendously. I know of numerous schools who have to bring students they are recruiting to the side and explain that images like the one attached do not represent what the University stands for. If you or someone you know have strong opinions and cannot keep those opinions contained in your mind please do not wear the University of Tennessee brand.

Are you SERIOUS?

I'm still watching and I'm sure you will still be voicing your selective outrage and indignation

Selective outrage and indignation is a two-way multi-lane limited access freeway in 2020.

Some people dont have that inner voice that keeps them from saying stupid sh!t on camera.

Lmao. It's a clown a minute in 2020.

What exactly makes all these people think they are in any position to tell other adults how to think, speak, or act???

What would ever posess these people to think that ANYONE gives a damn what you say ??? What hurts your feels??? What you are offended by???

There are very few people whose opinion means jack sheit to anyone other than themselves. Very few. It's not a coincidence that none of the people I listen to ever tell me what to say, think , or feel.

Sweep your own porch. Worry about you and yours. If, and it's a big IF you have worked hard, sacrificed, put yourself last and managed to raise a family ....THEN you probably have a few people you can influence and to a certain extent control...at least for a time. Maybe.

Other than them...I can assure you that nobody gives a damn what you think, what hurts your feels or offends you, or what you have to say. That is life in a free society. Welcome to America.

I would have hit the "love it" button if we had one

 

[Boca Vol]

OP, the whole country has gone full nut-bag. Isn't this whole uproar over white lives being better? Maybe she's just trying to keep the BLM's, Antifa, LGBTAEIOUQ's, etc. on track....

I get being politically correct is frowned upon by some, but it’s obvious that the UTAD doesn’t appreciate this lady wearing the orange and white.

As Tennessee head coaches, we are now calling on anyone who is a fan of the Vols and Lady Vols to meet and expect a standard in our daily walk. Let us all refuse to accept or tolerate the unjust treatment of our Black neighbors. Let us challenge those who attempt to justify, dismiss, ignore or explain away mistreatment of Blacks or any other person of color. Let us meet this standard head-on, out loud and outside our homes. Demand action that leads to change. Demand PROGRESS. This is a basic, human principle that, among some, seems to have become as endangered as basic human rights for Blacks in our communities.

Nothing that lady said was wrong though. The White Lives are Better part will probably rub a lot of people the wrong way but statistically that is a fact albeit there is no real reason to rub it in anyone's face.

I think it's dumb and somewhat racist thing to say. And no White Lives are not better. Sticking with White Lives Matter would've sufficed. But this is the reaction you will get from some when you start pitting races against each other. True believers of anarchy and marxism know this. It's an inevitable outcome. They also know sympathy and the world opinion will side with the ones that believe they are being oppressed but that can't deter you from standing up against the Bolsheviks.

 

[BreatheUT]

Not that many NFL players have knelt when you consider there are 1600 of them. Lots of idiots have broad brushed the kneeling across the entire league. "I ain't watching them anymore!"...in my best southern, stupid ass accent

You don't have to change your accent for that. I'm sure it's natural.

By continuing to make this an issue the UT Athletic department is digging itself a hole. Just stfu. They've already made a statement.

Who cares what UTAD thinks?

But they are according to almost everyone. Look at the media. What happens when something bad happens to White women or White kids? All over the news. Black women and kids? Nothing. The left wing has unintentionally attached a higher value to White life than any other race partly in due to their desperate sensationalized news reporting and fight for ratings. How many black kids have been missing for months and received massive news reporting? White kids? Oh yeah, the ones they just found dead..on TV for months.

Stepping away from the news media you can look at numbers by race that show some lives are not better than others. Crime, life expectancy, murder, income, education, wealth, health, just to name a few provide some stark, stark differences between races in the USA. Hell, even the black community unconsciously favors "white lives" without even knowing it especially with the women. The lighter the skin tone of a black girl the better. Straight hair > "natural' hair always.

That being said, the "White Lives are better" comment was stupid and uncalled for.

edit- This story is when I, as an adult, really realized that the media didn't give a flip about black people:
Divers find minivan with human bones in Alligator Alley canal

Just wow. Tragic story.

The whole country! All 350 or so million people are in an uproar.

 

[Electric Orange]

So what's to stop someone from putting on a rival's logos and making ridiculous statements and putting the videos out? Maybe take one for the team? How bad you want it?

 

[Electric Orange]

Nobody try that I was just saying.

I’ll put a hood on and chant white power while telling everybody my name was Nick Saban. That’s how much I love the Vols.

She has that nosey neighbor b**ch look to her......

 

[Carl Pickens]

I wonder if we did a GOOGLE search of rival schools if we would find similar people???

My money would be on yes. I'm sure you have plenty of Bamas and Gatas doing the exact same thing.

Relax

You’re probably right, but the hag should have worn Bama , GA or FL apparel if she was going to show her ass like that....

According to MSM...and cities controlled by the Dems....and sports teams....and the "woke" folks.

You’ve come to the wrong place, my friend. This lady probably posts in the PF.
