Summary

In today's episode I talk about cancel culture being alive and well in the United States. On Sunday Oklahoma assistant football coach announced his resignation. Why? Because in a team meeting, he grabbed the iPad of a player for not following directions and started reading what the player had on his iPad. One of the words he read was apparently the "N" word. That caused the coach who had been with the Oklahoma program since 1999 to resign. I talk about Gundy's social media statement and that of the head coach as well which was disgraceful! I then discuss and excellent article written by Dwayne Bray of Andscape on Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. Ross has been at the forefront of racial equality and minority hiring in the NFL, for years, but now is facing pressure amid this country's continued march towards "wokeism". I believe a lot of it has to do with his political contributions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

0:58.1	the latest victim, Oklahoma wide receiver coach Kale Gundy resigning. This story really is hard to believe. Let me read you
1:07.4	Gundy's statement. Last week during a film session I instructed my players to take notes. I noticed the player was
1:16.6	distracted and picked up his iPad and read aloud the words that were written on his screen.
1:24.8	The words displayed had nothing to do with football.
1:28.7	One particular word that I should never,
1:31.6	under any circumstance, have uttered, was displayed on that screen.
1:38.1	In the moment, I did not even realize what I was reading, and as soon as I did I was horrified. I want to be very
1:47.5	clear. The words that I read aloud from that screen were not my words, what I said was not malicious, it wasn't even
