FAMU pauses football

Like this **** isn’t happening in more places. I’m sure there’s a market for this out there. This really is the mentality of a lot of the young dumb generation. their parents are probably ****ed they didn’t get to do back up vocals.

I’m think u’re confusing two separate matters; the issue wasn’t the lyrics, per se. It was the fact they filmed AN UNAUTHORIZED MUSIC VIDEO USING THE SCHOOL’S PROPERTY & NIL. Now u show me a music video w/ UGA, Miami, Bama, FSU, USC’s locker rooms talking about catching bodies, bustin down a chick, etc & I’ll gladly wait.

I think it’s already out there imo. The venue is meaningless to me. These dudes don’t respect nothing. Obviously their values were damned at birth.

I don’t know what all the pearl clutching is about to be honest.

Yes, it’s not exactly the best I’ve ever heard. In fact, it sounds like an thousand other wannabes, same beat and everything. But that’s not the point.

I understand that it was a huge unforced error, in terms of overlap with a commercial venture and copyright infringement and all that. But are we really talking about ruining these young football player’s lives because of an error in judgment?

This is all just stupid **** in my opinion. I mean people are getting worked up over a ****** rap song, I mean look at what LSU got in terms of the NCAA. Just think about that.

That's what I thought when I read the headline as well.

As an aside - pretty much unrelated - I remember when news of scandal in 2011 broke. I was on vacation with my family and I was reading people talking about Miami getting the death penalty. I told this to my wife (also a UM alumni) and my young son asked me, "They're going to kill the players?!"

My 2 kids had heard from somewhere....that you could get killed in a car accident. So,one day, taking them to school, we get into a little fender bender and they both start crying but I knew they couldn't be hurt from this minor accident. After confirming they were ok, my 6-year-old daughter, now crying in fear says "I don't want to die"

I’ll tell u why I’m worked up b/c those two situations r not mutually exclusive:

U’re not Black, & this is no offense to u, but sometimes ppl who r not in a certain demographic can’t really relate or understand:

1. HBCU’s were created to give young African Americans an opportunity for a higher education since primarily Caucasian Institutions, particularly in The South, were against inclusion

2. To see a young African American blow his scholarship while desecrating the image of said HBCU for clout is disappointing & stupid

3. I’m sick of “rap” music that’s published by, particularly newer artist be it mainstream or “up & coming” to promote lyrics featuring genocide, drugs, and disrespect of women of our own ppl. It’s even more disheartening to hear it from a young man given the opportunity to better his life & break a stigma; yet, he chooses to promote this stigma while highlighting an academic institution created to break said stigma.

4. Furthermore, he ain’t bout that life, chief. He’s on camera snitching to the cops, he’s a ball player (not to say some ball players ain’t bout that body life), and he’s a college student. STFU already about all this rah-rah.

So yeah, as a Black man who really, REALLY was about that life, almost losing his life to this ****, having a come to Jesus moment by working DILIGENTLY to reverse my errors, working my *** off to clean up my record & get an opportunity of an education, using that to set the example to my younger cousins who all went on to achieve great success attending some of the finest schools in America, I get a lil triggered by seeing Tom Foolery like this.

I get a lil triggered seeing & hearing all of the garbage music that’s specifically aimed to destroy my community (ask @Brooklyndee bout it); but, I’m ESPECIALLY triggered to see a kid do this WHILE utilizing an institution designed to help eradicate another type of injustice that’s plagued my community well b4 any of us were born, the injustice of lack of education.

So LSU, UGA, whatever can do the chit they do which is wrong in its own way, but that has chit to do w/ what this young man did. Unless u’re apart of the community, u won’t truly understand or get it b/c it’s much deeper than just some goofy kid looking for clout w/ some horrible lyrics. It’s the complete context of those lyrics & what/where it was used to promote such lyrics.

Bro, I don’t need an education on HBCU’s, you don’t actually know anything about me, my circle of friends, my family.

Secondly, I don’t give three ***** about that ****** rapper or his ****** locker-room rap. A few kids on that team made a mistake and that’s all this is about - nothing more.

What happened isn’t a reflection of FAMU, its students, or its coaches, or even the players. It’s a few kids that made a stupid error in judgment. That’s all this is about for me.

It’s being dealt with, why make it a bigger issue than it actually is?

Social media is a social disaster to our children. I feel for all young parents today. Save the children.

I’m sick of all this rap **** too. I agree with a lot you say here. I was denied entry to 2 state colleges when I graduated high school cause I was a white man. That was in 1969. Enough is enough. These kids should have known better to blow an Oppurtunity of their lifetime to become a better person a contributor to society and role models for all.
