Interesting stuff going on in Stillwater. The five demands listed by Gottlieb from the players are 1. Earrings 2. Durags/wind cap 3. Ability to sag pants 4. Hair styles 5. Music that contains curse words and derogatory language towards women.
Seems kinda petty to me, what’s the take on this friends?

@kjayhawks joke!

As someone who coaches football and basketball at a school where the majority of the athletes are black, 1 is not an issue to me. We tell the athletes to take them out because UIL (Texas sports governing body) policy doesn’t allow jewelry so we get our athletes used to that and if they get caught, penalty is removal from the game until they’re compliant. Most officials are cool about it and will tell a player they need to remove whatever so they can stay in, but occasionally we’ll get an official (usually new) that power trips about stuff like that and doesn’t give a warning.
2 isn’t an issue, we allow the players to wear wave or wind caps under their helmets and if they wear a du rag, it has to be tied so nothing is hanging out because then it becomes a safety issue.
3, our district has a dress code that all students are supposed to tuck their shirts in and we tell them their pants have to sitting at their waste. If they get caught sagging, it’s a warning 1st offense, 2nd time they get caught we zip tie their pants and if they remove the zip tie before the end of the day, they don’t play the next game. This is the one that at any level I wouldn’t allow just because of how bad it looks.
4, as long as their hair is neat and groomed, how they style it isn’t an issue as long as there’s nothing inappropriate shaved in their hair.
5 is the one I’m always conflicted on because of the influences lyrics like that can have on kids. At the college level, it would probably depend on the situation if I cared or not. I wouldn’t play stuff like that when there’s visitors because of the impression it gives off, but if it’s inside a weight room or they have headphones in, then I wouldn’t care.

He was kidding! It was a joke!

@kjayhawks Classy, real classy, to devalue what the players are actually protesting about.

@Crimsonorblue22 @mayjay is it fake? It’s on ESPN. @Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with your assessment.

If these P5 schools aren’t careful, the athletes may realize their power. This is a thin line, and I am not sure many universities know how to navigate it.

Heard some very interesting things from a friend of mine… There could be some intriguing forms of protest that occur.

No surprise. It seemed like the kind of thing a guy that can’t figure out how to put on his pants would do.

I think the link you posted must have gotten redirected. When I clicked on it, there was nothing about Gottlieb, just the true story about their actual discussions. (Try it, it must have been changed!) I thought you invented the fake list, and Crimson called it a joke but I thought she meant by you. Sorry about the misunderstanding.
