Really don't get the focus on this when we have football to discuss

People will offend and get offended. People will make mistakes and hopefully learn and recover from them.

However, this is primarily a sports message board, and college football has to be one of the most interesting sports around. We also had the first week of the NFL, and a dramatic US Open that almost resulted in the first men's grand slam since the 70s.

Yet this thread is one of the top threads of the day?

Our Rulers Never Learn

Our rulers made the same mistake in Afghanistan they have been making at home for the last 70 years: They refuse to believe that human groups are different. The transcript of this video is available here: https://www.am

Honestly, it's true, that Todd dude is a grade A jerk. That said, how many times

Very true.

It’s one thing to call someone out for domestic assault or DUI on CB.

Reasonable1

9/14/21 6:53am

And wear it to games, and post on social media, etc.

mobomanjoe

And then to keep bringing it up YEARS later after the guy has made ammends.

The Eccles kid would like a word.

Agreed but livecoug is still right

Yep... it may not be AS bad, but the spirit of the insults is the same

runnincoug

Your right they are different.

but neither are necessary.

Also, how often has cancel culture been decried here? Pretty quick to jump on that band wagon against this

Pimpin4Paradise

9/14/21 6:55am

There is some truth to this, but I think 99% of the board will cheer an apology

Carnac

9/14/21 6:58am

Has anyone tried to cancel him?

Blue Print

9/14/21 7:00am

Right? What are some on this thread talking about? Our reaction has been raising money for Make a Wish. Pretty cool IMO

Trent

We are terrible at cancelling

On Twitter people are tagging the MAW foundation and saying he needs to be

9/14/21 2:42pm

Well social media is gonna social media. Donating to a charity ain’t bad.

Reasonable1

9/14/21 2:57pm

We’re not saying cancel him. We’re donating to his MAW fundraiser and trying to encourage him to get help.

9/14/21 7:00am

Has he apologized?

Misteak

9/14/21 7:02am

Was he fired from his job or something?

Misteak

9/14/21 7:04am

Has anyone tried to get him fired or removed from the MAW board?

Blue Print

9/14/21 7:12am

That’s why I ask the question. It needs to be clarified what canceling looks

Misteak

9/14/21 7:14am

Yep. But that’s intentional IMO.

Blue Print

9/14/21 7:19am

Doesn't appear so. He just blocks anyone (including Max's wife) who accuses him

CharlottesvilleCoug

9/14/21 8:24am

I think the raising of money for his charity is anything but cancel culture

JohnnyComeLately

9/14/21 7:11am

Raising $4500 in the name of the jerk and the dude he went after is doing better

Kolipoki

9/14/21 6:56am

Seriously! Fast approaching $5 grand! Noice!

Trent

9/14/21 6:59am

Or in the very least not be hypocrites about it. Really bad look.

SinkingQuffa

9/14/21 7:06am

OP makes a post asking if we can be better. Obvious answer "yes". Too many posters: "but..."

Baron

9/14/21 7:08am

Does that same graciousness extend to Trump supporters or the vaccine-hesitant?

9/14/21 7:15am

Are we agreed then that those are equal offenses to DUI? 😉

StalwartBraveTrue

9/14/21 11:46am

I'm all in favor of a kinder, gentler CB.

9/14/21 1:14pm

There's a difference. Nobody's making shirts about Kyle's vestigial tail.

Shore10

9/14/21 7:30am

I think the "Max Hall Hates Me" shirts are funny. This went too far.

CharlottesvilleCoug

9/14/21 8:25am

This. One is fun and even Max was taking photos of someone in one. This is on a whole new level.

crimedog

9/14/21 8:30am

I think there's a difference in mocking KYLE for using the transfer portal to

I dunno...there's even some hypocrisy in that

I'm all for second chances, and was happy for Francis Bernard to find a home.

How many times have we shared that mugshot collage of fans in Utah gear?

krindorr

9/14/21 8:55am

one is a public figure that played in the NFL

lukeskywalker

9/14/21 9:03am

As a public figure it was very public, is that what is is forever now?

Jacob

9/14/21 9:08am

i don't understand your question

lukeskywalker

9/14/21 9:32am

You are saying Max has to deal with it because of the NFL

Jacob

9/14/21 11:08am

no one is saying it's OK

lukeskywalker

9/14/21 12:05pm

misread your intent

Jacob

9/14/21 12:15pm

So are you saying it's more OK to share Max's mugshot than of random Utah fans? I disagree

krindorr

9/14/21 9:19am

It's the same thing and we should do better. Only difference is not making

runnincoug

9/14/21 9:23am

if you had a family member

lukeskywalker

100%; I'm hoping Noall's bad actions help us take a look in the mirror

krindorr

9/14/21 9:40am

I think the majority of the outrage over this incident is due to the fact

lukeskywalker

9/14/21 9:48am

I think the hard part is that something can seem innocuous to one party when we forget these are real people - see poll

Thank you for posting this

Rodolpho

Yep, thank you. All for this.

9/14/21 9:32am

This I agree with. I've disliked the ute felon trope for a while now.

Bluedarts

Agree. CB can be better. There was both sides, but many being mean: S. Checketts

If Max and Spence could do something together that would be really good.
