My dad was stationed in AL when I was born. Both my parents went to Bama, but neither spent more that a few years of their childhoods in the state. My Dad had nearly doubled his time in the state by the time he'd finished his freshman year in T-Town.

But even if I was really "from" Alabama, 72's inanity would still be just that.

Hyperbolic inanity.

Question.

Why is the OU football team skipping practices and wearing black? They act like they're in mourning because they just lost a brother. I agree 100% with their cause at its root, but I think the way they're going about this is unnecessarily dramatic.

This was a leaked video created by some racist haters. Should they have been expelled for that? I believe so, yes - that kind of culture should not be condoned or pardoned. But let's remember exactly what this is: not a killing, rape, robbery, or anything like that; just embarrassing, shameful stupidity. This wearing all black, coming out of the practice facility arm-in-arm bit just strikes me as over the top.

Victims are going to play the victim card. It's what they do.

The question should be, where was this reaction when one of their own football players assaulted a girl and was then reinstated to the football team?

That's the unfortunate precedent they've set. Sports related news doesn't get picked up by the CNN's or MSNBC's of the world. Every national and local news station ran with this story hence the publicity and knee-jerk PC or PR move made by Boren. I'm gonna rustle feathers likely, but Boren's and his family's political background cannot be lost on his swift decision.

I have never understood this myself. It's like the dumbest redneck can crawl out of the backwoods, say the n-word and they p-own every dark skinned person in the country. I'd never let another person's word control me like that.

This whole thing has gotten ridiculous. Tuesday night, the national news lead with this ridiculous video of a stupid @#$% fraternity, and then followed that with nonsense about Selma. This at a time when you had a commuter train wreck, a terrorist organization continuing to threaten our citizens, and the Republicans writing directly to foreign countries. It's insane. I'm all for equality, but we have become so sensitive that it is making us lose perspective. Meanwhile, two cops were shot in Ferguson today, and yet my FB page is silent on the matter- God forbid if it had been a black person, @#$# would be blowing up.

Idiot word chanters expelled immediately. Quite the leader at OU.

I am sure the pres has spent a lifetime in academia, a good racial expulsion probably made him the envy of his brethren at every school in America. What a dunce.

Reminds me of dufus and his beer summit.

Actually you'd be wrong but instead of using Google just make assumptions just like the Bushes politics seems to be the family business.

Clay Travis wow I wonder if he considers himself one of the unanimously agreeing constitutional law authorities he talks about in his column but never names while I may not agree with the expulsions I'd guess a former Rhodes scholar university president would have checked with university attorneys before acting but I could be wrong.

I have no comment on the article or anything; just putting it up for the sake of discussion.

Travis calling out Boren on the double standard is warranted. Boren's response to said calling out makes him look like a moron.

If he did, I'm gonna guess he didn't follow the advice given. In political situations people are often willing to roll the dice on civil liability. I'm also guessing that it's not the public employee who will have to cut the check if there's a judgment down the road.

I think CT's editorial is accurate on legal analysis although melodramatic on the conclusion that this is destroying constitutional democracy. Frankly, I'd be okay with mob rule in Tennessee given the recent political leanings of this state.
