If you don't have a WaPo subscription, you can't read the article but just look at the URL and you get the drift. Here's the kickoff sentences:
Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard said Monday he will not participate in team activities after his coach, Mike Gundy, appeared in a photo wearing a One America News Network shirt. Multiple teammates voiced their support of Hubbard.
OAN, which Gundy has publicly praised, is a far-right cable network that fervently supports President Trump and regularly promotes conspiracy theories. A host on the network has called the Black Lives Matter movement “a farce.”
“I will not stand for this,” Hubbard wrote on Twitter. “This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.”
Hubbard rushed for more than 2,000 yards as a sophomore last season and finished eighth in voting for the Heisman Trophy. He redshirted his first year on campus and was eligible to leave early for the NFL draft but chose to return to school for his junior season.
I intend this as a football post although I'm sure it will get punted to the other board. As John Oliver said on his show this week, "If you're going to draw a line, it starts by drawing a line SOMEWHERE!" I think OANN is complete garbage and anyone who would actually watch that and treat it as a news source is missing out but....a guy has got to have a right just to wear a damn TV network shirt, doesn't he?
