Friday news dump?
- Thread starter spliff45
- Start date
Maybe I'm just fortunate that I was raised in this great state and in all my years in school etc never ever heard anything about monkeys and blacks. I think context is king, and in this case the context of the postgame... its pretty clear Dolph was complimenting the guy's dominance inside. I wonder who ever brought this up to begin with or made an issue of it? I'm wondering where the whole issue with it started from. Up until this, I didn't see any social media out cry or PC people trying to beat a drum about it. Until this release today, I wouldn't have even known it was an issue.

This is my question as well. It happens all of the time when one side of the political aisle accuses the other side of something stupid. I get it. That's what they're supposed to do (I guess). But this has to come from someone that just wants him out. When someone's job is to talk a lot, it would be easy to twist something that anyone says when one has hundreds of hours of tape to listen to. Ridiculous.
It's sad that Dolph will lose his job so dishonorably because the player he complimented happened to be black. If Bruno happened to be a white player, Dolph would be calling the game tonight like nothing happened. Instead he's likely done and branded for life. Man is that messed up.
Dolph "Bruno was the Incredible Hulk of the post".
U of I " sorry Dolph but you're suspended"
Dolph "what did I do?"
U of I "you referred to Bruno as the Incredible Hulk and we all know that he is really violent and some people say black people are violent".

I'm not a huge Dolph fan like I've stated numerous times. But he's a good ole boy and he's one of ours and this has me teed up a lil. I know him and Fran haven't gotten along, I still have a hard time believing that Fran is behind this? It will spill out on the podcasts tho and if he is, that puts a dent in my support.

Yep
Yes exactly, something smells here. Usually this kind of thing (suspension) comes out from all kinds of pressure from social media or something. In this case, there was NOTHING that any of us have seen on this out there. It just almost appears like a hit job, where someone was specifically looking to find something to nab him on and dug this up and went straight to the U fo I. Just seems really fishy.
I don't think there is a 60 year old man alive that could have even connected the dots to that racism so I highly doubt it was Fran. And I mean that literally too. Not a single man alive in that age group on the entire planet that has the mental makeup to make that connection. If Fran is behind it, then he has an accomplice that is under 30.

That would clearly be supporting pedophilia.
Fran and the team addressed the MD episode.
They moved on.
If Fran IS still pissed about that, don’t blame him one bit - it was an attack on the staff and Maishe from The Voice of the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Dolphin should be terminated, because he can’t accurately broadcast a basketball game - not this.
And ON GAME DAY again - Barta does a release....what a clueless piece of garbage.
