Dabo’s shirt on Twitter

That picture is OLD

I mean you started with it was fake now it’s old do you have any proof. I’d like it to be old too as it’s dumb if he wore this shirt today. The shirt in itself is perfectly fine but in the middle of what is essentially a pr nightmare it’s a shocking lack of awareness if he wore it today.

i agree but
The picture had its meta data erased. That’s all you need to know.

This is the picture circulating on social media. They’re saying it’s a Confederate hat but to be honest I know absolutely nothing in regards to Confederate symbols etc.

Oh FFS... I loathe Kirby with every fiber of my being, but there are about 100 more substantive things to roast him over than the mere fact (without any additional context) he wore a hat a couple decades ago. Cancel culture is beyond pathetic.

(BTW, this is not a criticism of you, Ashlove. Know you're just the messenger.)

Don’t see the issue here? Why is everyone so butthurt?

Perhaps that question should be asked of Dan Wolken and David Hale, members of a group, the press, that is all knowing about every issue. I have often wondered why people like Wolden and Hale don't give up their bitching jobs and go into coaching because they have all the answers on every issue imaginable.

In the Crisis Communicatikns biz we have a saying: silence is hiding and hiding is guilt.

Hopefully Dabo is going to come out of the box on this with something truly major but his silence thus far has really eroded his brand equity.

Perhaps with a saying like that in your field of work, you can understand why the media is held in such low regard!

Program perception is still a thing as much or as little as Dabo cares about the media. Continually being dragged on social media the platform that all of the kids we recruit take in news from is never going to be good.

cplezia, I agree with your post but the other side of the issue is that the players that we want that fit our culture will go further in their investigation and talk with the coaches and players, both current and past, to get the real facts about Clemson. I think we have done pretty well so far.

Here’s my thing. I’m to the point where it doesn’t personally offend me what he said or didn’t say and I believe he loves his players. But he’s botched this and it’s hurting our program. We can all at least agree we want our program and team to be unified and to play well, right? If this ends up not affecting that and he’s able to continue to be a good leader for our guys, I’m good. But I’m telling you, I think it’s hurting our team chemistry. And Dabo did that.

And I’m telling you that’s BS. He’s not hurting team chemistry, and he hasn’t botched anything.
 
This is the sad part about this whole situation. The statistical evidence does not support the statement that white officers are more likely to shoot unarmed black men. As a matter of fact a Washington State University study in 2016 found that white officers are 3 times less likely to shoot unarmed black suspects than unarmed white suspects. In that same study the researchers found that white officers take more time to fire a black suspect than they do at a white suspect. Now, does racism exist? Absolutely it does. Is there some systemic conspiracy of racism within police forces? I don't find the evidence supports that. If you have time search on YouTube for the conversation between Dave Rubin and Larry Elder on this subject.
Thats what bothers me about all this BS. Its all based off of a false narrative that can be easily disproven but nobody wants to hear the actual truth.

That and the fact one of the leading agitators, BLM, is a fraud and huge hypocrites. They won't even acknowledge the black lives lost to other blacks or the loss of black cops during this mess they've helped start.
 
I’m plenty rational. I stand by my opinion. If black lives matters was a thing before that shirt then it’s tone deaf, even if you think BLM is misguided at times.

It has nothing to do with thinking BLM is misguided or not, at least not to me. This is a slogan for a youth football association, no more no less. It’s not automatically offensive now because BLM exists. It’s also not tone deaf....anyone who is offended by this is one of the people that just want to be offended and will latch on to anything to make it happen.
 
We had a bass matters tourney years ago in manning. Each boat took a bag of dev bass fry and dumped them in an area. I’m offended

I’m not offended and I do disagree about tone deaf. Take a breath. We don’t have to agree on all points.
 
Dang TL confirming this is real. Goodness gracious Dabo is a fool.
Your agenda on here is crystal clear and it’s getting old fast. I’ve never seen you contribute one thing to this board football or recruiting related, but you’re sure in every one of these type threads talking about how ashamed you are of Clemson and Dabo. Yeah we see you.

I’m sure he just grabbed a tshirt from the drawer and wore it out. Same thing we all do.

Well I’m just not learning this. If so, i apologize. I’ve been wrong before and will be again. I thought it was simply a shirt. Thanks for educating me.

The only thing I’m certain of in recent days; people are mostly stupid and only in search of evidence that supports their pre conceived notions.

I’d like to introduce this pearl clutching as exhibit ZZZ
