franklin supported his players earlier in the week. He was only upset they didn't tell him of their plans because it made him look bad.

Zig-who is the dumbass in your opinion-the butthurt fan who wrote the letter or the player with dreadlocks?

The team for wearing the shirts.  Play football and shut up.   Butt hurt fan?  LOL..he's not playing.

Do you support the fanâ€s POV regarding players with tats and dreads? I agree the t shirts were a dumb move, but the latter writer was also an idiot and deserved public ridicule, imo.

I'm not a fan of long hair and tatts BUT I don't give a rat's ass if they want to wear them.  Who looks stupid?  They do.  Woody Hayes had his buckeyes looking good.  It's his team.

I think the letter writer was a Class of ‘66 grad. I wonder why he singled out that one player. I imagine he got a strong letter from the alumni organization.

Did you see his picture?
I agree with Zig, for once.  Let them look the fool.  Dreads are the most godawful things....just as the white boys who adorn the flowing Fabio hair down past their shoulders.  Trevor Lawrence?
After the State Tournament in Legion baseball a college coach came to the dugout and offered me a scholarship, but said I would need to cut my hair.  It didn't even cover my ears.  Times, they are a changing.

Chase Young. Strength like Samson......

Isn't Franklin a half-rican?

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.
