Edit: some of you apparently don’t know how to read long posts, so I’ll write a brief summary up here: it’s totally fine to call out and bash RK for playing like *** on the field. It is NOT OK to celebrate when he (or any other Canes player) gets hurt. That is all.
I’ve been reading a lot of hate on the boards about Robert Knowles, and some of it is genuinely ugly stuff.
Just like Malik Rosier last year, this is a guy who suits up as a Miami Hurricane and puts his body on the line. I saw people cheering that he was hurt, and that’s un****ingbelievable.
I understand hating coaches for making dumb personnel decisions, or bashing players that turn down the U and go elsewhere (Alabaga, Jawja, etc). In fact, I understand bashing a player if they just don’t care about the team (Nkosi last year, for example).
A player does not control if they play or do not. The coach does. A player can only control the effort they put in, and how the conduct themselves on and off the field.
Robert Knowles is a ******* Cane. He may not be the most athletically gifted, but he gives his all, and that is all we can ask for. If Manny/Blake see fit to play someone in front of him, which will likely be the case, that’s fantastic - but that is never an excuse to bash a current or former player.
Cane family.
