AKA he spoke the truth of a situation his teammates and people who pay him didn't like it so he retracted what he said

So he lied to his teammate and in the retraction? That is pretty jaded, but ya never know.

It sounds like, to me, he simply hadn't reached out or talked to anyone before that, so he just didn't know better. He was in the dark so to speak and literally thought kneeling was about the flag and military lolol. Or I'm just being naive and he tricked his teammate and is still ignorant at best, a **** person at worst. Though I don't believe that.

I don't think everyone reaches out and tries to learn and understand, from those affected, right away. Glad he did eventually and I'll keep applauding him.

Winning a championship is exactly what makes you the best team….. That is the ONLY thing that matters…..who cares about analytics or predictors… it’s about winning or losing…..Take the 1980 US team….. every person alive thought the Russians would kill us….. it didn’t matter bc we won where it mattered.

Ok I think we're talking different things.

You're talking about "deserved". I'm talking who the best team actually IS if they faced each other...aka the GOAT. If you think Ga St 2019 was actually better than us and would have finished 5-3 in the SEC then we're on different planets. Ga St deservedly beat us in one game...didn't mean they were a better team than us that year or anyone would have bet on them again.

Just because team A beats team B one time doesn't mean they are the better team. Lots of luck and randomness. ESPECIALLY in baseball. Individual games are probabilistic, not binary and final. Same as UGA/Bama first game and rematch.

Why wouldn’t they play? You play to try and win a championship which is what every teams goal is.

You're telling me that a kid goes to Vandy expecting to win a championship? Or Central Florida? or GA Southern? (Not talking about one of the G5 championships. That's not last team standing. That's one of the tallest ... "small people".)

Every recruit that goes to Vandy has another reason than "last team standing" for suiting up every week.

Retired Baseball coach where I work took the opportunity to "lecture" me about the Vols behavior this weekend. Said UT shouldn't have run up the score Friday and need to stop breaking the "unwritten rules". Are you kidding me? If it ain't written it ain't a rule. Baseball snobs are some of the worst.

Here's the deal with sports. If you don't want your a$$ kicked, play better

Edit: Nevermind...you people have no tolerance or understanding for those that disagree and have a different perspective on his situation.

I should have known better than to engage.

I said I applaud him. Thought that was pretty "tolerant" 🤔

It's simply about accuracy. Kneeling being about the flag or military is factually incorrect and a huge strawman argument. Literally no kneeler has ever referenced such things, it was all made up by others.

We were talking baseball and every division 1 baseball team is capable of winning a championship…. G5 schools are different and their top of the line success may be a conference championship…. Vanderbilt’s coaching staff needs to have the goal of winning a national title…. It doesn’t mean it is likely but the goal never changes….

Unless you're playing the Blind School for the Deaf, I 100% agree.

Though I once witnessed someone steal the ball from a mentally challenged man in our church basketball young adult league and drive for an easy layup. That guy was booed. That guy was also my best friend. He didn't realize who he had stolen it from until he already made the layup 😁 Fwiw he let him shoot the next time down.

But we've never let him live that down 😂

What's wrong with that? 😅 It's relaxing and 0% chance of missing the dartboard. Stand if at home and in a hurry or in public, otherwise give me a rest off my feet.

And if it's dark, middle of the night, I'll keep my eyes closed the entire way to the bathroom, keep the light off, and sit to pee. Then go back to bed, no exposure to light and right back to bed. This is the way.

You said it's the only reason to play. I guarantee you that is not the only reason Vandy players suit up, or the expectation of 90% of teams. And they have to play for something besides the thing they expect won't happen.

Even in baseball.

Not trying to be needlessly argumentative, but that statement is ridiculous. No program will ever thrive in a "win it all or there's no reason, and it was all pointless" nihilistic environment. As a matter of fact, the greatest college coach in history spends most of his media time trying to prevent the fanbase from planting that thought in his players' heads. (i.e. Saban)

Not Jack but maybe he's referencing his shockingly willful ignorance shown over years, a couple of times. He definitely came off poorly. But imo he learnt himself and his own teammate said he was convinced Brees was being genuine.

I'd much rather encourage growth and learning and understanding, hell, especially when most of your teammates are black...it's shocking it took him so long, but better late than never to come to understanding. A situation where publick backlash ended in a positive situation. No cancelling, no butthurtedness. Just him growing and becoming an ally. I'll applaud that. This is the way.
