There’s a lot of pressure in the black community to speak woke and be woke otherwise you get called out or ex-communicated.

It's a damning article. Toss out the he said she said and focus on the important stuff; grad rates for black athletes vs white athletes, tranfer rates, etc. Etc.
If you don't think the Iowa brand hasn't been damaged through this you're dumb.
Where did this come from? Just a point you manufactured to argue and call people names?
LOL,of course you wouldn't you could possibly see around your black and gold teddy bear.
I have a brain and objectivity. unlike you. Still butt hurt from a month ago you got pummeled on here?
All this means is this program no longer has to be concerned with discipline for any off the field issues. The student code of conduct will be eliminated because It is racially biased. KF’s job just got a lot easier with no more need for player accountability.
Indeed look at all the decommits and all the donors bailing!!!
So the players who have said the opposite are liars and should be ignored?
oh i think damage has been done but we may never know how much... if they don't play games this year
One thing that I've noticed and others have commented on; I think that there was a noticeable difference in recruiting after the Solomen/Douglas incidents and later Wegher and Robinson. I think that recruiting really put more emphasis on finding those kids that fit into the Iowa culture. And maybe that wasn't the best decision. I would be interested in hearing from the black athletes from 2002-06 and if they experienced the same issues that they have the last few years.
Are the student-athletes not accountable for themselves? What did Iowa do for white players that they didn’t do for black players for academics? Did white players not have the same rules as far as hats m, earrings etc?
You are one of the biggest cry babies that exist on this board. haha, love it
Of course you can get your black and gold teddy bear tarnished. What you think I could care less.

Iowa football > you wanting to cancel Iowa football
Black players transferring counts against them graduating, apparently.
It's not like these guys just dropped out because they couldn't keep their grades up.
The transfer rate is/was the issue.
Their requirements as students aren't made any harder than white athletes.
Those are facts.

If you actually read my posts bro, I think its clear what I want to cancel...
racist White coaches harassing Black kids
Was Bro typed out before or after you spray tanned yourself?
Which means he never tried to correct anything, EVER? Can you be more one-sided?
You're gonna have to be more specific brah.........
Of course it has. But we have a chance to have a stronger, more accepting program if Ferentz keeps the tough part and cuts the crap part.
If you have a boil, you lance it and improve your health. Ferentz appears to be trying to do that. If all that happens is denial, denial, bau (which includes many on this forum)....then the Iowa football program is going to suffer long and hard.
Ferentz will be haunted by this until he retires. If you don't agree, fine.
People's perception, memories, and history they remember don't just go away and it won't here either.
I see two parts to the article.
Reading the article has me thinking Doyle didn't treat all the black players fairly, that part seems to be legitimate. With Doyle gone, all of that chatter goes to the background in my opinion, which is most of the article.
The 2nd part is a bit more controversial. I see black players that are used to people wanting to be like them. Think back to the most popular kids in school, people didn't ask them to change, instead people would mimic them.
At college (Iowa specifically) they are in a situation that requires them to make adjustments. Earrings, haircuts and clothing aren't racist, especially when the school is supplying lots of athletic clothing. I see this as a trivial thing being made into a race thing. I am not sure if it is really a big issue from the former player, or if it is the in thing to be the victim.
The comments from James Daniels seem a bit over the top, just too broad and seem to make the situation sound really bad compared to his specific concerns. Jordan Lomax gave really good comments in my opinion, specific and understandable.
