Try reading Tom Sawyer aloud.

I still don't understand this story. He read a player's Ipad text out loud?

venables said that gundy chose to read it aloud multiple times.

From what I've read, it sounds like Gundy was upset that one of his players wasn't focused and taking notes as he should have been and tried to make an example out of him by reading what was on the players' iPad to the team. In doing so, he dropped several n-bombs in front of his players. It was a foolish decision -- and apparently a fireable offense in Venables' eyes.

Quote:Cat Gundy, the daughter of former Oklahoma football assistant Cale Gundy, called out Sooners head coach Brent Venables’ statement about her father’s resignation in a since-deleted tweet.

“Interesting you told your players to keep their mouths shut about what really happened and their heads down,” Gundy’s daughter allegedly wrote in a tweet, according to screengrabs on Twitter. “The truth will always come to fruition, it’s only a matter of time.”

It is still unclear exactly what word was said by Gundy during the film session. Following Gundy’s resignation, former Sooners running back Joe Mixon — who currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengals — defended the coach in a statement, calling him a “teacher” and a “mentor.”

“I know racists, I have witnessed both obvious and discreet forms of racism and have known and detested even more actual racist[s],” Mixon stated. “Coach Gundy is the farthest thing from this type of person. I spent every day for the 1,000 days I was in Norman with him, and I never saw anything that would lead anyone to believe this or think this.”

Gundy spent 16 years as the running backs coacher the Sooners, followed by seven more coaching inside receivers. He was the longest-serving football coach in the Big 12, ahead of his brother, Mike, the Oklahoma State head coach.

Quote:“I will never, ever believe that he should have been fired for what he did,” said Jim Traber, radio personality for Oklahoma City’s The Sports Animal.

Traber said he heard the news last night while getting off of a plane from Cabo.

After taking Monday to sort through the news and hear from his contacts, he said the resignation letter doesn’t tell the whole story.

“Well let’s get it straight. It wasn’t a resignation. It was a forced resignation. They fired him. He didn’t resign,” said Traber.

The man had a lapse in self-awareness/judgment vs. making a racist/derogatory attack. He coached for 23 years and made an honest mistake - it would seem - that doesn't reveal a past history. Could the coaches/players/university not forgiven him after he issued a sincere apology followed by a suspension/dock his pay? There should be opportunities to learn and grow from mistakes as a team/organization. IMO, this is an overreaction that is part of a larger issue of cancel culture.

If he was reading what someone else had written, then it wasn't his words.

Why the F is he resigning?

Apparently there are a lot of infallible people out there. I don't know many myself.

What about the player that had the ipad?

what's suppose to happen to him? he didn't tell him to read off his ipad. it's not a teleprompter.

Yeah, this one's pretty simple to me. There's never a good reason or excuse for a white person to use the N-word. Anyone who does, regardless of the circumstances, is setting themselves up to endure whatever consequences come from that decision.

Is Cale Gundy a racist? I have no idea. But he'd still have a job if he kept that word out of his mouth ... and doing so is not a real difficult threshold to reach.
