If you wanna LOL, listen to Grambling State Player's speech...LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

[Ho Le Fuk]

Did he said no questions at the end?

LOL! 1:20 speaking, 2:34 of answering NO QUESTIONS

[tony_come]

O:06 we're here to make a statement, no questions at the end.

[blankoblanco]

There's simply no excuse at that age to not be able to stand in front of a group and read aloud from a prepared written speech.

The "excuse" is stagefright/nervousness, has nothing to do with age or race

I've seen intelligent guys struggle more than he did speaking in front of an audience, doesn't mean they can't read or talk

[sweep]

lettuce not turn this into a race thread

[You mad bro]

Don't see anything funny. Most of you live on forum vile and can't even speak in public. Big deal he stuttered, must have been really nervous.
Good for them for taking a stand against the establishment

guy cant read but is in college probably on a scholarship .. what a joke

his major is probably sewing

[Chi_archie]

Embarrassing

[BriGuy]

Where all the white women at?

[Louisvillekid1]

Do you guys know what they are standing up for? Do you guys understand the risk of their scholarships here? It's so frustrating that grown men expect/judge so much from these young KIDS.

Gentlemen they are 17-20 years old? If I put on a Video of you at that age I bet we could find a few things to laugh at.

Those kids should be applauded..

[ACoochy]

Guy still sounds more coherent than most Fox network presenters...

[InTheDrink]

He was nervous.

The stuttering comes from being nervous.

These kids should be proud of themselves for standing up for what they believe in.

They showed great loyalty to their former coach.
They are men of principle.

Thats all you can ask for. These days loyalty is rare.

bear's best post ever

frankly this might be bear's first good post

but i agree nevertheless

[billysink]

Any of you eloquent fukks walk one damn foot in these kids shoes? These kids took a stand for something they believed in and had the guts to stand as one and represent their issues. Some of these kids may never have believed in anything until they encountered what they felt was wrong here. It may be that kids first time representing anything. He was not confident in his delivery but smart enough not to be goaded into saying anything without consulting the rest of his team mates. For all we know the kid may be an excellent communicator in another setting.


Opie when your kid gets nervous and stutters or misspeaks at her first important engagement how you gonna feel when she gets laughed at or better yet some jackass puts the event on you tube or some shit like that. Don't give me your horse shit that couldn't happen. At this point you don't even know what life will throw at her in the way of challenges or how well she will be prepared to face those challenges.

I hope that she is appreciated for what her efforts are rather than her shortcomings, by a bunch of fukkin clowns who never took a damn minute to understand the reasons behind them.

How many of you guys ever stand in front of national media and answer questions posed with the intent of getting you to say, not what you want but what the questioner wants to hear. Everyone pretty light on their feet behind a keyboard?

Same shit different day.

[You mad bro]

i'm sure the kid prob has a 4.0 and was valedictorian of his high school. it was just the cameras

[pulledclear]

The fckng scary thing is that he is the one they thought was bright OR articulate enough to speak for the whole tribe. Thank God for the Sony Play station. Greatest crime prevention tool since public hangings. FACT.

[yisman]

This is the guy they felt could speak the best of anyone on the team?

Now I understand some of the more insanely stupid moves I see some of these random players make on random weekday games in college football for the more obscure schools.

How can he be so DUMB and drop the ball before he even crossed into the endzone??? HOW???

that is HOW

I mean, most people hate having to give a speech or talk in front of crowds... but this... this.... this...

was on another level

Not my point and immaterial to my post. Not gonna judge the kid for what he was in high school or what his GPA is. I don't know I never met him.

I will offer the opinion that he is passionate enough and brave enough to stand in front of the national media and more than smart enough not to be goaded into saying something he did not believe was his business to say.

You don't need a 4.0 to be a big man or to speak of what you believe in.

A forum full of overweight, socially awkward gambling degens shouldn't be so quick to throw stones.

" Grambling players complained of substandard facilities, unhealthy conditions and long bus rides. But the catalyst, according to several players, was a feeling they had been neglected and disrespected after the school fired Williams last month."

$2 million budget,Grambling (0-8) has lost 12 consecutive games and 18 of its last 19. Fck em, pull ALL their scholarships and let them go work at the car wash if they dont like it there, like they are going to when they DONT graduate anyway.(if they plan on working, YEAH RIGHT)

You get a glimpse of facilities? My local high schools are nicer. Though I live in a lavish area, it's not a university.

[pulledclear]

Maybe they could take time from their PS 3 Madden games and show some fckng ingenuity rather then COMPLAIN!

[pulledclear]

Thats what I thought....ask them to ASSERT themselves and nothing but....

[face]
