Oklahoma State Cowboys football coach Mike Gundy was recently spotted wearing an OAN shirt while on a fishing trip.
Cue the crybullies. Specifically, one of his own players, star running back Chuba Hubbard.
I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and its unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE. https://t.co/psxPn4Khoq
Thats right, big tough football player guy is melting down because his coach is wearing a shirt that he evidently doesnt like. ESPN glamorizes Hubbard by reporting:
Chuba Hubbard, the nations leading rusher last season, tweeted Monday that he will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE, in response to a photo of coach Mike Gundy wearing an OAN T-shirt.
I will not stand for this, Hubbard posted on the day in which Cowboys players were scheduled to begin voluntary workouts on campus. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and its unacceptable.
OAN stands for One America News, a far-right news network that has been known to promote conspiracy theories and is often cited by President Donald Trump. The network, which has a fraction of the audience of Fox News, has tried to position itself as a place for a pro-Trump audience that feels other conservative news outlets have become too mainstream in their reporting.
An Oklahoma State spokesperson said Monday the school had no comment.
Several other players have voiced their support for Hubbard:
Strangely, however, Gundy has a reputation for being one of the biggest supporters of his players, going to bat for them in the media and sticking up for his guys. Most notably, in 2007 he went on his Im a man! Im 40! rant at the media after they trashed one of his players.
OAN, One America News, Alright! Where Can I Get Those AWESOME T-shirts? Never heard of them. THANK YOU, for bringing it to My Attention!!!!! FUK Chuba, Kunta, whatever..............send him Back to the SHITHOLE he came from!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soon you'll be seeing him looting the closest Target!!! Keep that shirt coach, wear what you want, Welcome to AMERICA!!!!!!!!!! Bench that FUKR, let him sit it out. Next year, when his life is OVER, maybe he'll be a little smarter.......
Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State football coach who faced a strong backlash last month after being spotted wearing an OAN shirt, has greed to accept a $1 million pay cut and a one-year reduction in contract length.
The changes were offered up by Mike Gundy, and I commend him for that. It was his idea to take a million-dollar pay cut, Oklahoma State Athletic Director Mike Holder said on Friday. I think it really demonstrates his commitment to being a better coach. He wanted to make a statement that assured all the players that this wasnt just about talk, this is more about action, and thats the first step.
As ESPN reports, In addition to the pay cut, Holder said the contract length was shortened from five to four years, his buyout was cut from $5 million to $4 million, and his guarantee dropped from 75% to 50%.
Holder hastened to add, I want to emphasize, every one of those was offered up by Mike Gundy.
