I think most stories talk about racially biased or racial discriminatory statements but I can't think of one right off hand that actually called him racist. I say that understanding that if I was Chris Doyle it would not be a very meaningful distinction to me.

In my opinion, a racist is someone who makes statements or judgments about a person based on their race and for a malicious purpose. It isn't accidental. Think skin heads, Aryan Nation, white supremacist.
Being racially biased or discriminatory can be inadvertent and not coming from a place of hate. I think many Americans are used to what they know, where they came from, and how they were raised and accept those things as "normal" and don't give much thought to how the "normal" parts of my life could be completely offensive and inappropriate to someone else.
That's a super simplistic explanation of large concepts but it's really about the motivation and intent behind a statement.
You are close but schools actually REQUIRE students to take assessments until they show "proficiency". As a teacher, you have to re-administer said assessment to students who didn't receive a proficient score while simultaneously instructing those who did. Oh, and everyone gets at least a B because "proficient" is usually somewhere in the 80th percentile range. So, everyone is on the honor roll yet 40% of them can actually test at their grade level on a standardized test. And everyone moves on to the next grade. It is like the line from the Steely Dan song " . . .the things that pass for knowledge I can't understand."
I may have missed it in this thread, but I have seen a few references to Wadley stealing money from Iowa fans. What is that all about?
Paid for autographed memorabilia, cash taken, items never sent.
The internet is forever and AW completely contradicts himself. He is looking for a payout and he is all in on this because he has to know his football career is 100% over. Need to get some $$$$
Unfortunately he isn't considered one of the top in his profession so he has had to lean on ripping people off from autographs (etc) and now put all his eggs in trying to cash in on a settlement from the university. Smart move on his part.
Unfortunately for him I'm sure the lawyers in this process have all his tweets etc that he has since deleted documented since he has chose this path to try to earn his money.
There is a reporter from a competitor's site discussing the hypocrisy of the Wadley family - in great detail. This is happening on Twitter.
Come on. Any form of the R-Word is not appropriate. Have some consideration for your fellow man. Be better.

Great points. Not everything is racism.Sadly, what is happening in our country is fueling more real racism by teaching people to hate folks with lighter skin in order to gain power.
Again, if it was even 50% as bad as he's claiming now he should have an WOULD have left then. Just another indicator that this is crap, and his real problem is he didn't end up getting that NFL meal ticket, and now someone has to pay.
Exactly right Doug. KF's long tenure has the program firmly entrenched into a "culture" that literally just a few months ago was being lauded on national TV over the one at mighty USC, because of the values, discipline, and consistency of the program. And now....."You either die a hero, or you coach long enough to see yourself become the villain."

Same guy, same program, same values...
minus doyle now thoughExactly right Doug. KF's long tenure has the program firmly entrenched into a "culture" that literally just a few months ago was being lauded on national TV over the one at mighty USC, because of the values, discipline, and consistency of the program. And now.....
and probably with a new woke team which is basically not the same team as before
listening to blm and antifa. won't be long till the hawkeyes change their name because it is offensive to american indians
Maybe they will. Hopefully you’ll stop watching. Oh, right you’ve probably already stopped because you just want “football back” like it used to be. After reading most of your posts looks like the world left you behind a long time ago anyway.
How is the name offensive to american indians? Hawkeye was a white guy adopted by the Mohicans.
Unless you're talking about the name Iowa, which was taken from a tribe. I doubt they're going to change state names.
Your posting makes me think you might be my slack-jawed uncle in his 50's who has lived at home his whole life and never had a girlfriend or the guts and intelligence to live on his own.

You mean when respect, honor and tradition meant something?
Please dont comment on something you know nothing about.
Or the 1990s.. This dramatic shift into child disobedience, self-entitlement, and soft, permissive parenting has taken shape very recently.
so much irony in you telling others not to be so dramatic. Your whole existence on this issue is overdramatic
And, your paragraph of welcome to Iowa football is already in place.
you do realize that 9 out of 10 Indians are proud of the name Redskins and don't want to remove. It's just white liberals that are offended.
As usual

Hilarious. You guys are so clueless. You always think you know better.
You don't.

I wouldn't be so quick to boast a survey that only polled 504 out of 5.4 million Native Americans. Over the phone, no less.
“I just reject the results,” said Harjo, 70, who belongs to the Cheyenne and Hodulgee Muscogee tribes. “I don’t agree with them, and I don’t agree that this is a valid way of surveying public opinion in Indian Country.”
"The results — immediately celebrated by team owner Daniel Snyder and denounced by prominent Native American leaders..."
“Native Americans are resilient and have not allowed the NFL’s decades-long denigration of us to define our own self-image,” wrote Oneida Nation Representative Ray Halbritter and National Congress of American Indians Executive Director Jacqueline Pata. “However, that proud resilience does not give the NFL a license to continue marketing, promoting, and profiting off of a dictionary-defined racial slur — one that tells people outside of our community to view us as mascots.”
But yeah it's only the white liberals that are offended. Eat your peanuts.
“State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations”
Soon to be just Rhode Island. It has already begun.
Please stop talking, I loose a few IQ points everytime I read one of your thoughtless posts.......
