Exactly. As a 43-year old white male, I have ALWAYS tried to be hyper-aware of my choice of words to people of other races. This isn't anything new, just common sense, respect and manners. From what I have seen from his post-game pressers, I like Pat. But come on, this was a stupid and insensitive choice of words to say to a black male. Sure, it's possible that a lot of black males wouldn't be offended by a phrase like that, but that's not the point and why go there? Think before you speak. And the thing about the young man's parents, if true, is really bad as well.Don’t know what was said in full but freedom of speech is not and never was license to say whatever you want without consequences.
Good God. How stupid this whole thing is. Common sense no longer exists. Freedom of speech is being taken away because no one is allowed to say anything. I can’t wait until this all
blows up in everyone’a face and the backlash occurs. That’s how Trump got elected.

He should have called the kid in with his parents on the phone and apologized for his poor choice of words. Looking to motivate and do so with words didn’t consider the meaning.

And it's usually the same people that as you said struggle with that.I don't know or have met Pat Chambers but he's built a lengthy relationship with the Philadelphia basketball scene and I can't imagine he's survived this long because he's a bad guy.
The problem some expressed in this thread is kinda the problem in thinking things aren't a moving process or target...there is a cancel culture being tossed around as the new wave, not because of the mistake or missteps, it's the lack of growth that comes out of the mistakes made.
I know more now than before I arrived at RU as a freshman....didn't see so many groups and organizations and others with a primary focus....i left RU a "more aware" and smarter person...it was because the roommates I had were from all different backgrounds.
Chambers is going to be fine....but it is strange when someone or a group points out something was wrong, that people struggle with that.
In sports, I maintain that RU in this decade is going to be much more successful in sports and catch up in the B1G....is that going to be RUs hangup that the rest of the B1G fanbases that aren't ready for this to happen and feels we are too brash or arrogant when we think we're good....there are so many similarities between these changes in perception in society and what RU is going to do in sports that it's a very interesting place to be.

Bruh,It 100% looks like this player had a pretty unfortunate experience at PSU. I don’t doubt anything he said. I don’t doubt PSU botched the situation. This isn’t a Baylor football situation where the program was covering up sexual assault. This is a coach using a poor choice of words. He has ZERO history of being racist. Frankly, it’s ridiculous that he has to defend himself. Why is his name being tarnished?
That's a really badly written tweet. They didn't defend his noose comment - they agreed he made a mistake. They did, however, defend his overall character as a man and as a coach, which tells me this blows over, which I'm ok with, given that and the coach's apology.

One thing I am learning is that the cancel culture eventually comes for everyone.
