Mark Whipple Suspended by UMass

[atlCanesFan]

Hope this doesn't start a downward spiral based on political ideologies, but Mr.Whipple after this week you come up with this analogy ?

UMass' Whipple suspended for 'rape' reference

Poorly timed, indeed. Yet, how often have we all heard or spoken similarly during competition? (Esp. about refs)

I'm a staunch Dem, but I even think there needs to be an pause for understanding of how words are used in their context. Whipple was in NO WAY referring to a criminally conjugal situation.
Did we bat an eyelash when KW II explained that he was a warrior after 9/11? The national media did, but we were behind him because we understood. And we still hear this talk these days. When coaches and players are in the throws of a season, they do not think about what is happening outside their small world. Saban has said repeatedly that he has no clue what is happening outside his team.

IMHO, this was overreaction based on Academic leaders not wanting to understand the football culture. Whipple should have been encouraged to provide a statement of apology and brief explanation of non-connection. Considering what Urban Liar got for his handiwork, Whipple was overly punished.

Poor taste but not suspension worthy, IMO. They should suspend him for being a terrible coach.

Should have said they got "Kavanaughed", then all would have been forgiven.

We have lost our collective minds as a society when a man is losing a paycheck because of what Mark Whipple said there.

Outrageous.

I'm not even sure what you mean, and I know it was intended as a joke, but man, let's just not bring politics in here.

Our Society is so soft.

PC police ...out in full force....sounds like someone got their snowflake panties in a wad

So he gets 1 for that , Meyer only gets 3 for what he did.

Something ain’t right

It doesn’t matter. Our beliefs are not based upon what political party we belong too. No political party has domain over peoples beliefs and personal morality

Just pointing out the feigned outrage and hypocrisy of our "collective society' . You may draw your own conclusions as to its motivation.

I wish people where that intelligent but unfortunately a lot of people do attach their beliefs to political agendas and right now the agenda of worshipping victimhood and labelling everyone sits strictly on the hard Left.

Most of us aren't speaking to the media while representing a university.
