I hope you’re right. But if Dabo doesn’t have a change of heart I actually think we will eventually. Tristan Leigh was at a BLM protest this weekend. I’ll be shocked if he ends up here.
Tristan Leigh wasn’t ending up here anyways.

Lol. Who gives a shit? This is nothing and I’m glad Dabo is staying out of it. He came out and made a statement and the non-Christians blasted him because “faith and prayer ain’t enough”.
I hope he doesn’t say another word until he announces the schedule. He can’t win when you vultures have already decided that he’s wrong. Dabo doesn’t owe @dbjork6317 or @RagsToRiches2 a fvcking thing. Lol at recruiting taking a hit over this. Not gonna happen.
- It is mind "boggling" not "bottling".
- Maybe he is taking the time to go through all of the pundits opinions and directives about where he has gone wrong and how he is ruining recruiting and what the expectations are and how "disappointing" he is and that is boggling his mind.
- Are we to all believe that these two players represent the opinion and experience of all of the players that have been at Clemson in the 10+ years of Coach Swinney's leadership?
- If verifiable evidence of his apathy, insensitivity or disrespect exists and is revealed, then I am sure there will be plenty of disappointment to go around. But even these two players have made a point of commenting on their own regard for Coach Swinney.
- In my humble opinion, all of this negativity and suspicion is self destructive and is fanning the flames of the CU haters. They are loving this. Wouldn't we all be better served to circle the wagons as a show of confidence and "family" loyalty while this plays out? Has Coach Swinney not earned that benefit of the doubt?
he is a football coach
why does he have to say anything?
when did being a football coach require you to be political?
Forget our differences on how we perceive current events for a moment. At this point it’s become plain that Dabo has royally botched public relations the last week and a half. I mean there’s no way this doesn’t hurt recruiting.
I think you’ve misunderstood the term Karen.I don’t post hardly at all and I really wish you would post less than me. He’s trying to stop someone from saying it. Who gives a shit what anybody thinks. Does he care what you and all these fake ass people think about him by not addressing this topic again after he did years ago when it happened?I hope to hell he don’t care what Stephen A or all the Karen’s in the world think.
I was speaking about current players. Not ones currently paid by the universityMiguel Chavis’ statement is spot on.
What is your problem dude??Forget our differences on how we perceive current events for a moment. At this point it’s become plain that Dabo has royally botched public relations the last week and a half. I mean there’s no way this doesn’t hurt recruiting.
I think you’ve misunderstood the term Karen.
WoW & Just WoW!
1. Who gave you the power to Speak For, Place All & Judge All Black People The Same!?
2. Yes Some Black Classify the slang term as endearing! Believing you are White, try educating yourself to this view instead of keeping your agenda!
3. What lesson should “They Have Learned”?
Those of us, “Black Folks” who grew up with the terror associated with this Word; Do Not Like Hearing It In Any Form, Try to educate the younger generation, but Do Not Need Someone From A Majority Race Preaching To “Us” About Use According To Them!
Also, as a Dabo! The Man I know! uses his position to educate! even with using such slang; This 62 year old, Jim Crow Raised Black American, Stand With Dabo! Just Keeping It 100%!
We’ll see buddy. Keep defending ole Dabo. He can do no wrong!
I was speaking about current players. Not ones currently paid by the university
You're right. A minority football player that loves dabo so much for the opportunities in life and for loving him so much and helping mold him into the man he is today definitely doesnt fit your narrative. Not to mention how weak minded Chavis is for even working for Dabo given the proof from a tweet from some unknown walkon from years ago where allegedly Dabo told him to stop playing music with racial terms in his locker room.I was speaking about current players. Not ones currently paid by the university
Are y’all willing to admit Dabo needs to, oh I don’t know, speak up? Even pragmatically, he’s getting drug around cuz he’s not saying anything at all. I don’t see his players defending him either. Like we got two/three former players on staff but no current players going to bat for him. Why?
I mean he is responsible for his assistant coach who said the n word. That’s where this whole shit storm is stemming from.
he didn’t use the n word. He was mocking a player attempting to embarrass and STOP him from using it.
another shit stirring troll.
noticing a lot of handles I’ve never seen before. Hmm.
Said post has been deleted it seems as I can no longer see it, but I took a screenshot for reference.I read a FB post by Brandon Ford in a Clemson Football group that said
“This is false, I remember this day and I don’t recall him saying this at all. I was right there in the locker room and team meeting room ”
take it for what it’s worth
Pearman literally said he used the n word I’m not sure what we are debating here.
insufferable.
I’m sure I’ll regret asking but curious on your stance with players openly using the term.
Man you are a piece of work! Go back to my post and see that I said players have spoken up, former players. I NEVER said current players you did...and they don’t need to be speaking up right now. They are handling all of this in the team!!!!! Get a clue!I was speaking about current players. Not ones currently paid by the university
I personally don’t think anyone should use it. I also know that a white guy in a position of power should never utter it.
I was wrong and misunderstood you. I apologize. For real I mischaracterized what you said and did so multiple times and I’m sorry for that.Man you are a piece of work! Go back to my post and see that I said players have spoken up, former players. I NEVER said current players you did...and they don’t need to be speaking up right now. They are handling all of this in the team!!!!! Get a clue!
And it was handled in-house 3 years ago...Pearman literally said he used the n word I’m not sure what we are debating here.

No need for Dabo to revisit it just to give some limelight-starved walk-on his 15 minutes of fame...
I went to middle school and high school in the early to mid 1970's. I played various sports at the team level and play round level. While I may not be black, several of my friends were. I used to hear black people call others that ALL the time. So saying that this word (especially in today's climate) is disrespectful for black people I do not "Judge All Black People The Same". Wrong is simply wrong here.
You say, "but Do Not Need Someone From A Majority Race Preaching To “Us” About Use According To Them", yet we are judged harshly for having said the word 40 or 50 years ago? In speaking Native American movie lingo (and I am not being racist here, it's sad I even have to say that!!!), you speak with forked tongue. Dabo would be right if he got on his players for saying that word in Clemson's locker room. That is the teams locker room, not just the white player's locker room, and not just the black player's locker room, but the TEAM's locker room. You are a team, and should respect one another as a team, and Clemson's environment, as a family. If the black players desire to call each other the 'N' world outside of this that is on them, even while they and all (as they should) expect whites and other from using it.
I could remember back in the times I mentioned above where I could sit down and discuss racial issues with my black friends. But now we have become so far apart that even discussing race is racist, and causes knee-jerk responses as you displayed. So who is really being "judged" here?
