...Say racist shit?
February 24th, 2017 at 9:09 PM ^
in the dorms because students write racist comments. Appears to be wide spread on campus.
This is sad and goes beyond schadenfeaude
February 24th, 2017 at 11:17 PM ^
But do they still have blackboards?!
Dammit. This fucking election and social climate make innocent/lighthearted jokes...icky.
Glad we're starting to have the conversation, hope we can still laugh as we try to progress.
February 25th, 2017 at 12:13 PM ^
Racism among students on a college campus? And it's not Liberty U.?
#FakeNews
February 24th, 2017 at 6:01 PM ^
... apology by the PR team at MSU.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:15 PM ^
Yeah, it totally looks like it was written by some adult PR-type and handed to him to say . . . or else.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:41 PM ^
Not so fast my friend, I would expect to find 3-9 spelling errors. Probably written by a Michigan educated lawyer.
But in all seriousness, hopefully the young man can learn and build from this unfortunate incident and nice that this was done.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:15 PM ^
for Bad Idea T Shirts has "buy 3 get 9 Free" above the OP. Coincidence?
February 25th, 2017 at 2:26 PM ^
There's at least one.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:02 PM ^
Spot on
February 24th, 2017 at 11:12 PM ^
No shit. No one goes from starter/leader to transfer because they accidentally dropped the N-bomb once in the heat of an argument. If that's what really happened, it was the straw that broke the camel's back.
February 25th, 2017 at 8:08 AM ^
I dunno man.... that could be all it takes. I would expect to get fired if the same happened to me.
February 25th, 2017 at 12:53 PM ^
Have you heard about the husband-and-wife Yale professors who resigned (eventually driven off campus by students) for suggesting to their students - in a very tame (PC) letter - that they determine for themselves whether their Halloween costumes are offensive to others instead of following the University's guidelines like sheep? IOW, learn to think for yourselves - that's what college is for. How dare they!
There is some very fucked up Salem witch trial shit going on around campuses in this country. Very sad.
So yeah, it can take far less than this guy did (sometimes nothing) to get yourself pitchforked on (or banned from) a campus these days.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:02 PM ^
passed his own comments. At least he isn't trying to blame it on anyone else.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:47 PM ^
Yeah, it makes me believe he's truly contrite about the situation.
Rumors float around the internet all the time, but they get forgotten over time. However, by confirming he said these things, he will be labeled a racist for the foreseeable future. He could've just transfered without comment.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:55 PM ^
he can do far more than apologize. You don't make a comment like that, even in a moment of rage without needing quite a bit of education and critical reflection.
February 24th, 2017 at 7:19 PM ^
You're right! He needs re-education! Send him to a re-education camp so that he can condition himself not to make mistakes even under pressure!
February 24th, 2017 at 8:10 PM ^
and not once did it occur to me to use a racial slur. The usual obscenities do the trick quite well.
Reschke has serious issues.
February 25th, 2017 at 7:48 AM ^
He was betrayed by someone he cared about and his teammate. He lashed out in anger, because he was screwed over by a couple of pieces of shit he trusted. Shouldn't have said it, but hardly an indication of serious issues. Banging your boyfriends teammate, or the teammate banging the guys girlfriend are far worse than what JR did.
February 25th, 2017 at 9:29 AM ^
than actual actions, is a totally mistaklen andf f-ed up concept that unfortunately the world, and especially campus life today, accepts.
February 25th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
When not directed at you.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:38 PM ^
....probably not as any other team that picks him up for a 5th year, would no doubt do a background check and they would have found all of this. So he NEEDED to make a public apology to help him get a clean slate and to move on.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:13 PM ^
A formal apology goes a long way. Community service will help if he wants to play for another team.
February 25th, 2017 at 7:46 AM ^
Excellent point!
February 24th, 2017 at 11:10 PM ^
I mean he has to own it...unless he goes the hacked route.
But if it's on any type of saved media...he didn't really have a choice.
One of his black teammates got it in with his gf or girl he was seeing. He went off in the wrong way and is going to pay for it.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
In his next lockerroom, especially once the Google his name. Will need a coach willing to be a Tom Rinaldi feature...
February 24th, 2017 at 6:16 PM ^
Maybe he'll transfer to BYU or something.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:19 PM ^
that it should be a team with an African-American coach, someone who might make those locker room conversations easier. USF, maybe. Illinois has an opening at MLB.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:43 PM ^
last I heard.
February 24th, 2017 at 8:40 PM ^
....I see whay you did there, sorry, I mean I hear you!
February 24th, 2017 at 6:04 PM ^
Well, I tempted to pile on with snarky comments or gifs. But, I hope he learns from his mistakes and becomes a better man. Good luck to him and fuck Sparty.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:14 PM ^
I'd say Reschke's girlfriend has that last part covered.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:23 PM ^
username checks out.
You're the reason there's no more Chapelle's Show!"
February 24th, 2017 at 6:28 PM ^
It wasn't me Rhonda!!
February 24th, 2017 at 6:32 PM ^
Damn. I misspelled Chappelle's Show, and now I can't edit it.
THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU'VE FUCKED ME!
February 24th, 2017 at 6:46 PM ^
Speaking of usernames, yours is the reason I never watched That 70's Show. I couldn't separate the Dad character from Clarence Boddicker. I half expected he'd pull out a machine gun at any moment and lay waste to everyone in the room before pissing on their still warm bodies.
February 24th, 2017 at 7:09 PM ^
Can you fly, Eric?
February 25th, 2017 at 2:18 AM ^
Robocop is seriously one of my favorite movies all-time.
February 25th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
Kurtwood Smith was great as Red Forman. Give it a shot sometime.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:05 PM ^
No excuse for that sort of language, and poisonous in a team situation. Never a good reason to go/be racist.
I wonder, though, if the teammate who allegedly was bedding Reschke's girlfriend apologized for that. Because that's also often poisonous in a team situation.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:16 PM ^
something like this happening with Prince Fielder's wife when he was with the Tigers and I remember hearing that's why they got rid of Avisail Garcia. As you point out, there is no excuse. Anger and alcohol don't make people say things they don't think, it usually makes them say things they normally wouldn't say out loud.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:17 PM ^
There was a fist fight and Miggy got hurt breaking it up, they situation might have cost the Tigers a World Series.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:06 PM ^
I will try not say regrettable comments to in laws tonight...I've been drinking
February 24th, 2017 at 9:18 PM ^
Comes out of the mouth.
February 24th, 2017 at 9:40 PM ^
clicked on the tweet.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:15 PM ^
Came here to make a similar comment. Two idiots. Jamal Lyles, who is rumored to have slept with the gf, was a 5th year senior this past season. I would hope that they would've voted him off the team as well if he were still eligible.
But uhh... at least he waited until they technically weren't teammates anymore to bang her.3-9 wasn't a fluke if that's the type of comradery in the locker room.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:19 PM ^
Two? Don't leave out the third idiot. The whore of a girlfriend.
She better be hot bc Reschke just threw it all away.
Good luck finding another locker room after making the situation racist Reschke lol.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:23 PM ^
I really see one idiot here, and that's Reschke. College girlfriends and boyfriends cheat on each other all the time. You picked a girl who wasn't that into you, we've all done that, but don't throw your football career out the window for it. As for Lyles, yeah bro code violation or whatever but she's not married and he wanted to hook up. We don't know how close Lyles and Reschke were anyway.
February 24th, 2017 at 6:25 PM ^
Reschke is completely out of line for making it racial. He could have easily talked shit about Lyles without mentioning race at all.
Still doesn't absolve Lyles or the bimbo.
If anything it just shows Reschke's true colors.
