It’s common for groups of people to use derogatory terms others use against them with one another. You ever called a white guy a cracker? It’s true with all of them. Including those for Italians and the Irish. It’s something that happens. Now you go use one on someone who is Italian or Irish and see the response you get.Don't know but I'd bet he's been called the "N" word plenty of times. If that word is so bad, then no one should be allowed to use it. Agree?
But you still are ignoring telling players you will send them back to the ghetto. The shirt wasn’t what drove this bus. It’s disingenuous to imply so. It’s what blew it up. Last straw sort of thing.Don't know but I'd bet he's been called the "N" word plenty of times. If that word is so bad, then no one should be allowed to use it. Agree?
If players had/have a problem with Gundy then why sign with OSU?

Crime? Are white people being charged with hate crimes for calling someone that? No. You have now proven yourself to be ignorant as all get out. You can call someone the N word all you want. No prosecution. You might get fired. But your job doesn’t grant 1A rights .I have never called a white person a cracker...or Saltine American for that matter. The "N" word is thrown around by black people like water.
Kanye West announced he's running for president. Have you read the lyrics to "Gold Digger"? He should immediately be charged with hate crime according to the Dems rulebook.

I’ve been called cracker quite a few times, but never by a White person. In fact I don’t know a single white person that calls another white person cracker. Redneck sure. Cracker not so much .It’s common for groups of people to use derogatory terms others use against them with one another. You ever called a white guy a cracker? It’s true with all of them.

Faculty at UK has sent their demands including renaming Rupp.Rupp Arena has got to be tops on the list. Let's see what happens if they try to remove that name before we start worrying about Neyland
"The Adolph Rupp name has come to stand for racism and exclusion in UK athletics and alienates Black students, fans, and attendees," the letter read. "The rebuilding of the arena and the convention center offer an opportunity to change the name to a far more inclusive one, such as Wildcat Arena. In addition, the University should survey all campus buildings and remove all names of enslavers, Confederate sympathizers (such as William C.P. Breckinridge), and other white supremacists."
Requests included in the letter also ask UK to require a course on race and inequality for all undergraduates, to increase Black representation among faculty to 15 percent, appoint more Black faculty and staff to leadership positions, increase support for Black students, establish a system or systems of accountability for individuals who commit racist and other acts of discrimination on campus, and fund the new Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies.
