Why does he deserve public ridicule for voicing his opinion about the image of a program he has been a fan of for 50 years and that he probably supports financially? Oh yeah, he dared to criticize one of your sacred black men.

It's popular to be a victim now. The guy that wrote in is clearly the villain here. I'm serious with this. The players probably figured they were showing solidarity for sticking up for their brother who is under attack. Guy that wrote in is probably a "white nationalist."
edit: I just now decided to actually read the entire article. The guy that wrote in is being a super-doucher too. How did ya think the kids would respond? That said, this victim culture/hooray for everyone stuff is getting beyond old now. Just go play the damn game and ignore the old guy. The guy grew up in the 60s and he's lecturing you. Think about that for just a second. A lot of silliness with this.

The focus is on the hair and tatts but it seems like the self aggrandizing behavior of the player is probably what really bothers him. But of course since the narrative is going to be race, the focus of the stories will be the hair and the tatts.

Speaking as an old white guy with no tats and really short hair, I really donâ€t mind the dreds or tats on athletes. When you are like me are are tonsorially challenged, Iâ€m thinking go with long hair while you can. As to tats, my Dadâ€s navy friends always seemed to sport some.
Through my high school junior year I had very short hair because I was in High School JROTC. But I grew it out later much to the chagrin of my father. That ended when a girl in front of my buddies told me that my long hair was cute because of the Shirley Temple curls on both sides of my head. Much laughter from the gang. I got my hair cut the next day.
