Seems like whatever meeting they all had went well....

From their 247 board, post on instagram from Marvin Wilson a few minutes ago:


Took a stand we got what we wanted & we are moving forward 🗣!!! I appreciate @coachnorvell for encouraging me to use my platform and speak for what me and teammates believe in. Be the change that you need when you was growing up and help build black communities up and take back what is ours

So what did Marvin and his teammates want? It seems like he originally wanted an honest coach who wouldn't lie to a media outlet about what he did to communicate with his players.

I'm not sure whether "taking a stand" actually "got what we wanted".

You mean transfer to Miami

Now's the time. The NCAA's granting waivers like candy.

So what did they get? Their earrings and headphones back and all is well?

And so it begins, as predicted.

Warchant's account of Norvell's "mistake":


During an interview this week with The Athletic, Norvell reportedly said he communicated "individually" with every player on his team about racial injustice and inequality following the police killing of an unarmed black man, George Floyd, last week in Minneapolis.


So Warchant emphasizes and quotes "individually", while ignoring "back and forth", thus setting the stage to debate what "individually" means, without acknowledging that "back and forth" certainly refers to 2-way communication, and not just a text blast.

Those guys at Warchant really have their myth-building game on lock.

They working all the channels to run damage control.

He will do it again. A cheetah doesn't change their spots

Please keep politics and Drew Brees race-related stuff out of this thread. I have deleted a zillion posts to keep this about what it should be: the destruction of the FSU coRching staph.

Now let those bîtches burn!

Thank you for your services. The stupidity can’t even stop this fantastic movie.

It's not like FSU has a history of poor judgement regarding matters of race...

So basically between the players and the staff the incident is over and it's back to business as usual??? That's a **** of a clean up in a short period of time...

The best money is “shut up money”.
I’ll laugh my *** off if I see Wilson at practice with a hoodie and some beats wireless on.

Thanks bro. I just want us to be able to enjoy what’s happening to F$U as there’s actually something to talk about. There’s plenty of other places for the other things.

FSU's Marvin Wilson Threatens Boycott After Mike Norvell's George Floyd Comments

Florida State defensive tackle Marvin Wilson threatened a teamwide boycott of the FSU football program after Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell said he spoke with each player individually about racial injustice, a claim Wilson denies...

Remember when you guys trashed Manny for saying something?

Chess not checkers

Now hopefully shows on field

yup the players had Manny backed that's why a bunch of them packed it in last year

 

[mirasuegui]

Still don’t want any of their players, bunch of losers over there especially since all this outrage will last for a week after their team meeting where Norvell will cry a bit and apologize as they go on to a 5-7 season

just about right

Talking to a couple fsu players a good few seem to hold the sentiment that willie wasn’t afforded enough time because he was black. As someone else mentioned, norvell came in with the “no earrings or hoodie bs” right after along with other things, this may have been one of those simmering things that finally boiled over last night.

ah doesn't matter what the players feel, when your stadium is 75% empty and your big sponsors say bye then you moved on : money talks and BS walks :

 

[mirasuegui]

D
Don't think being insensitive idiot is in contract. But hope he gets fired and they have to pay him **** ton.

personally I would take the money, and say you can keep this mess : I'm out of here and i am going fishing :

 

[ThomasM]

He also has a policy that the players can't wear earrings, hats or hoodies in the facilities. To me that's messed up bc your taking away a players style and way of life. I mean you really think doing this is going to make them better players?

He should take their names off their jerseys. That seems to work well.

 

[mirasuegui]

Perfect case of the inmates running the asylum. That program is cooked. Goofball coach and entitled players. Complete crap show...

this is a coming attraction to other colleges : get ready
