    How about April 1, for when they inevitably botch it.

    Only if declining to be interviewed counts as being interviewed.

    I know this is being litigated in a fan forum instead of a courtroom, but the accused have rights that your “guilty until proven innocent” stance seem to ignore.

    ] At the risk of saying something that rhymes with an offensive word, or unknowingly flashing the wrong hand signal, I think I’ll just stay home.

    Norfolk St- Horton Game

    It seems unlikely, but I have wondered if silence offers the least blowback potential. Or, some statement that the issue has been investigated and dealt with internally. The more details offered, the more the click whores and internet trolls have to twist.

    Deadspin is the same outlet that tried to claim racism by a 9 year old Native American Chiefs fan that painted his face for a game. Such media outlet have been exposed as echo chambers for hatred, IMO.

    Norfolk St- Horton Game

    Maybe I’ve missed it, but the media attention on this has been less than I anticipated. Mostly local to regional, in Central Illinois and Virginia. Some national sports websites like ESPN, CBSSports, Yahoo Sports, SI. And race baiting sites that traffic in hatred. I don’t really watch cable...

    So, ISU kicks 3 fans out of game for something that never happened, after apologizing to the accusers as if it did happen, and now ISU is going to say the apologized to accusers were lying. The optics of whatever comes out of this are bad for ISU. Really in a no win situation.

    Just going to wait for ISU to interview the refs, the TV announcers, and any surrounding fans, and assess the credibility of findings from the investigation. Hopefully witnesses are truthful and without motive to cover anything up.

    Luke Dakich’s father, former IU basketball player and ESPN commentator, Dan Dakich, has a podcast. It’s called “Don’t @ Me”. In today’s podcast, he discusses the incident at Horton, at about the 33-34 minute mark. It’s a few minutes long, if you are interested.

    I bow to your knowledge of Forde’s ancestral family tree. Just pointing out that many blacks from places like Barbados, Jamaica, etc., do have ancestral roots that trace back to Africa.

    Seriously? Why is that important? A POC has to be of AA descent? FWIW …. Most of the enslaved Africans brought to Barbados were from the Bight of Biafra (62,000 Africans), the Gold Coast (59,000 Africans), and the Bight of Benin (45,000 Africans).

    Just quoting your post for context, not calling you out on anything. Maybe ISU has been focusing on LGBTQ+ hires. Also, had the Lyons administration, that at least appeared, to be steeped in nepotism. Or heaven forbid, maybe ISU has been focusing on merit. Not hiring the best qualified...

    Apologizing for not understanding the context for how everyone is experiencing all events in his surroundings, including reactions of possible hoaxes and/or lies. Sounds like everyone should be apologizing all the time. Pussification of America continues...
