Miller: Gary Dolphin deserves better

[Northside Hawk]

I just sent a message via Leafield website letting them know where I stand on this. I am done with them until they correct this.

I encourage everyone else likeminded to do the same.

So this was part of Barta's plan. Get people to boycott Learfield and more will attend the games and more fannies will be in the seats.

“What honorable people don’t do is trash a man’s character over this, unless you are a scoundrel. I don’t think Gary Barta is a scoundrel.“

That’s exactly what they did. I’m sorry, but my opinion of Barta is not longer that he’s incompetent. I think he’s a bad person and a coward.

if you allow scoundrels to operate, what does that make you? is an enabler worse than a scoundrel?

In 1933 King Kong was never called an Ape or a gorilla. When the humans encountered him they had no clue what in the actual F they were dealing with. He is only characterized as a beast like creature. A missing link to the ancient world that has more human and bigfoot qualities than primate qualities. Silver back gorillas can only walk up right for a few steps . In 1933 and 1976 Kong can walk upright like a man. Some moron really hates Dolph

somewhere in all of this, dolphin is being persecuted for the times in which he grew up in. he's guilty of living his history.

And someone is guilty of not knowing history. The first version of Kong there is no evidence of Kong being a gorilla or an Ape. Dolph is suspended on a guess of the context instead of knowing? This is a mind boggling decision

I think Dolph needs to speak out. The PC apology does nothing to help prevent this from happening again. His apology should be sarcastic saying "sorry my mind isnt racist enough to connect those dots spur if the moment".

An apology for this PC crap is useless.
It does not clean your slate or clear your name.

It’s all about control. And now Learfield/Barta is using it as a means to fire a guy and mud up his name.

And if Barta is behind this or even just the face for this, then sorry, I don’t think he’s a nice guy. And my default setting when people show themselves to be corrupt is that they are corrupt; not that they are inept or stupid.

Well said and dead on

targeting doesn't require actual knowledge; just fear to work correctly. you're right. anyone that knows what king kong was would not place any racial tones to it.

Can you provide a link? Would be happy to do so.

Reece Davis call Bohannon Iceman. That's insensitive to Val Kilmer.

 

[HuckFinn]

Gary is a submissive, Fran is a left wing leaning coachomatrix. He projects rage, forgets nothing, merely waits for the opportune time to dole out revenge for any slight, real or imagined. That it is cloaked in the mantra of "racism" (which is of course untouchable on campuses of tax payer supported universities) Dolph is a corpse. Gary has been obedient, Fran rages on.

Go Hawkeyes

How on God’s green earth can you pack so many unsubstantiated comments presented as facts in one brief post. Good grief.

When Iowa announces a “blackout” football game next season we should all email Barta that we are offended.

And Ben Stiller from "Meet The Parents". Especially when his fiance inadvertently calls her ex boyfriend (Owen Wilson) Iceman.

He also called him Frosty the Snowman. Anyone know if he's been suspended yet?

“connect those dots”? Might offend people from India.

“spur if the moment”? Offensive to American Indians. Possibly cowboys. Rodeo riders even. To say nothing of their horses.

1. Barta is pretty incompetent as an administrator, that we know. However, he can raise money.

a 6th grader could raise money for IOWA athletics.

It's long past time to dump this chump

It's amazing. You can seriously find something with anything.

no, we're being ridiculous and sarcastic. Anyone who thinks differently is in the Cult of Woke.

No But George Gervin is pissed off.

Screw you, I love blackouts, working on one right now!

Dammit, Rob, where’s that “sarcasm” button for those who are a little slow out of the chute around here?
