That's racist!

[GoodTimeVol]

If you’ve been here two seconds you will know I am the biggest cheerleader. Doesn’t mean I will support everything anyone does which should not be offensive. Reverse racism is just as offensive as racism.

Nothing he said can be construed as reverse racism…that’s the problem with taking an excerpt from a tweet and running with it

 

[Volbucky]

What was confusing?

It’s an oxymoron. If you don’t see that then…….

 

[Glitch]

What happened to get the best players and try to win games? The vast majority of NFL and NBA players are black anyway.

You mean oxymoran?

I see color but I don't discriminate because of that. I discriminate based on what kind of soda people drink

People who drink Pepsi are the scum of the Earth.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I thought y’all said he was smart??? I hope he never wins a game.

Not that I like or agree with his comments, but I think maybe he should get a pass. . . it's his first time as a HC and probably his first major PC. No doubt that the journalist intentionally baited him into a comment that would turn heads. Mayo should've known better than to take the bait, because there are virtually zero answers he could've given that everyone would like. Given more experience, i think he'd have recognized what the journalist was trying to do and would've avoided the question.

If you plan to hang around here for more than a little while, I’d suggest you read the room.

Maybe people need to quit bringing it up
You seem offended about people’s take on it so maybe you should take your own advice

An interviewer brought it up.

Yet this twitter fool attacks Mayo over the most reasonable response ever.

But HE should shut up...

Media testing him...

I can see this And since I didn’t hear the whole PC I will drop it. I just hate racism (any kind) with a passion that rivals my passion for the Vols.

Always my reaction when I see Charlie Kirk.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

I see the best thing for @GoodTimeVol is to join the ignore list
Newbie only been on for a month

Yeah I recently added him to mine after he called me a troll..lol..

Sure, I’ll start posting Charlie Kirk tweets and have his same opinions on race

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's not good..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's not good..

Probably not the best thread to post Charlie Kirk takes, nothing Mayo said was wrong in anyway

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

What?!?! Lol

Have you not put him on ignore yet?? I did that day he was arguing and trying to pick a fight with both of us..you’re more tolerant than me.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What!? If ppl are really that offended over his opinion they need to get a life or understand context

Good to know...adios..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What? I have the same dream as MLK. That people will be judged by their character (or in this case their athletic ability) instead of the color of their skin.

Amen

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Lol. Mayo says he sees color. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Whether the color influences your opinion about someone unfairly or not is the real question.

People biting on to Kirk's bait. Guess that's how he makes his money anyways...

 

[Weezer]

I think Mayo was just emphasizing that white players and black players generally have vastly different life experiences. I don't think he was trying to denigrate whites or suggest all white people are racist crackers. People are different, cultures are different, sometimes you have to take that into account. Doesn't mean we can't all get along. I mean, other than rival SEC fans. Screw them.

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

There's nothing wrong with what Mayo said, but I'm not shocked that Kirk sees it as an opportunity to manufacture outrage in order to get attention. Too many folks are easily fooled into letting opportunistic people like this tell them what things mean instead of getting the full context and finding out themselves.

agree some what. I think some people really truly dont, or just dont care.

There really is no such thing as reverse racism...there is only racism.

Yeah, the whole “lets white players know they shouldn’t play for him” was totally made up. Too bad, because it puts a VFL in a bad light for no reason at all.
