Whittingham claims Utah is "the most diverse team in America"

It is pretty diverse, they even have a white coach with a n word pass.

Uh-Burn!

Madam Pattirini

When did he use the n word?

He meant to text another coach, but actually sent it to the recruit that

He's probably right.

And name another staff with a coach whose wife was indicted by feds

Gustav

7/31/21 9:18am

It is a very weird claim that program makes. They’ve been saying it for years and it’s really important to them

Is usually a calculation of likelihood of inter-race interactions.

Madam Pattirini

Knowing whittingham, he’s probably also referring to religious diversity

But does he have female kickers? @vanderbiltfootball

They are so diverse they even retained their racist defensive coordinator.

You know he’s not racist, but I’m not surprised to see you post this.

Regal Ute

7/31/21 9:24am

You have to be racist to some degree to use the N word like he did.

Nuke

7/31/21 9:26am

Many people who have spent their entire life in Utah are ignorant in many ways.

Regal Ute

7/31/21 9:28am

To be fair, I don't even think what Scalley did was ignorant

Carnac

7/31/21 9:34am

So then what was his mistake when he called players the N-word in practices?

He’s a grown man who’s been around hundreds of African Americans, how can you

And this is where Utah fans generally stop responding.

It’s pretty hard to respond to a baseless hypothetical.

No, it’s not hard. If he had been at BYU he ultimately would’ve been fired. No
