How we lost a commitment
Aug 15, 2020, 9:14 PM
|

“Between the classes of 2015 and 2020, zero recruits who had verbally pledged to play for the Tigers changed their minds.
“Two players in the 2021 class have done just that, most recently cornerback Jordan Hancock, who switched to Ohio State. A person close to Hancock said Swinney’s response to the Floyd killing didn’t directly factor into Hancock’s decision. But last month, Hancock tweeted an anguished emoji when sharing a video of vehicles, adorned with Confederate flags, passing through Clemson in response to the Black Lives Matter rally on campus.“ https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/07/24/dabo-swinney-clemson-black-lives-matter/

Hope he doesn't join the military. He will run into a lot of differing opinions and personalities he won't like. Hope he stays close to home. World is a hard lesson for those thinking it will conform to them.
Wish the recruit the best

Not strang at all

simply the facts of life.
If Clemson loses a recruit because of people who live around Clemson, then those recruits should stay in a safe place that protects their fragile sensibilities - if that is truly the issue. My bet is the recruit is just being "mouthy" and using this as a means to an end that is opposite to someone else with influence in their life. See mom or dad.
Not one person can make a person or a community of people act like they think they should. And, I have never lived in any one place where there is not racism - whether cloaked or not. I bet the recruit hasn't either.

So driving around with Confederate flags

is just a matter of “differing opinions”? This recruit saw a racist aspect of the region and it was enough to change his mind. Some people are a threat to our recruiting, and they need to be cast out of polite society. Of the many godawful aspects of this administration, the worst has to be that racists now feel empowered to slither out from under their rocks.

they are fully entitled to drive with their flags around clemson, there is no law against that. I am not sure how the administration is legally able to do anything about this.

I am not supporting it at all, I find it detstable and I highly doubt those were clemson fans involved.
If you want to get rid of these bozos, the City of Clemson needs to pass an ordinance banning it from public display.
