Who among us unfollowed Geo?

I usually don’t follow players (or athletes/celebrities) in general. I followed Geo after seeing his tweet.
Still following him on Twitter. Still going to cheer for him and rest of the team next season.
Followed him before, couldn’t be happier to continue. More of a leader at 20 than most twice his age.
Im pretty sure he ended up gaining more followers than he lost. Idk if there’s a way to check that
I follow Geo. His leadership that we all see on the court is becoming obvious to others on Twitter. He’s picking up followers such as Mike DeCourcy.
Geo's already one of the most impactful athletes (people?) to pass through Rutgers. Shameful that anyone would turn on him, especially when he's right.
Same for me. I rarely follow individual athletes, gave him one recently
Geo is an incredible young man - wise beyond his years, a great person, amazing athlete, an inspiration and role model for young people, and someone who will live on in the annals of Rutgers athletic history. I follow him, support him, and will continue to do so. I doubt anyone would actually admit to unfollowing. USC revoked season tickets for someone posting racist comments and maybe other schools will start to follow their example. I doubt anyone wants to take that risk of exposing who they really are, but on the CE board there are plenty of candidates, sadly
When I think of Geo. Two things come to mind. His dunk on Indiana (which was pure athleticism ) and when he grabbed Jacob Y and told him to keep his head in the game ... the first was great to see for its basketball play ,,, the second for his leadership and his team first attitude

He's a leader on and off the court.
This is very disappointing and I hope that Geo realizes that the bulk of us support him in every way - on and off the court. I don't do twitter at all but I do enjoy finding articles these days noting when athletes - students or otherwise - are speaking out about the important issues that confront us. Some people think that athletes and entertainers should keep their mouths shut but I like it when they voice their opinions. It makes them and all of us more three-dimensional. We are more than just what we "do" for a living or for a pass-time.
Geo could insult my mother or wife and I'd still love em at this pt. Well adjusted behavior, I know.
Following. Jeez. Even the word is creepy. Boy am I glad for my limited involvement in social media. Other than Super 70s Sports, I don’t think I follow anything. Don’t see that changing.
Maybe this will help us look at what hasn’t been working for decades. Maybe debate will eventually replace protest. Maybe this will get both entrenched extremes to realize they are both wrong in many ways.
Now is not the time to shut down voices. Hear what he (and others on both sides ... except the real nuts) have to say IMHO.

Not a Twitter guy other than following RU FB and BB accounts. Just added Geo.
Baker and Harper are both wonderful representatives of Rutgers, and terrific young men. They are true role models.
Geo is a quality person, a quality athlete, and a quality citizen. He is a credit to the University and we’re lucky to have him represent us.
Geo Baker is to Rutgers basketball what Brian Leonard was to football. An amazing person, great representative of Rutgers, and fan favorite with his dazzling moments on the field of play during the breakthrough seasons
Not me, been protesting
I'd love to see Geo play Devil's Advocate on all this inequality stuff and seek to explain it from the other perspective as if he were in actual debate and were assigned the other side of these arguments.
Don't know how many followers he had or lost or when.. maybe there was a recent purge of twitter accounts and many of his were nixed... maybe it is one of twitter's weird actions taken via some macro based on an algorithm.
People are wary of simple solutions offered and maybe they should also be wary of simple descriptions of problems. Perhaps equality of outcome is not the same thing as equality of opportunity. Asians do better than whites in all the measures Geo mentioned in his tweet... why? Answer that and maybe you'll find other answers as well.

Have no idea what he tweeted. Wasn't following him before his tweet, not following him after. Don't see what the fuss is about. He's free to say what he wants, and people are free to follow or not as they please.
I don’t follow and end up blocking anyone or any institutions who come on to my social media feeds. No real interest into what others are saying for the most part. I use “I don’t like this ad”, “It’s spam” and “block _____” a lot.
For Rutgers this includes all players (past and present- except Eric LeGrand) all coaches (except Greg Schiano), recruits, professors, etc.
I’ll read the message or tweet if it’s liked by one of the groups I’m following (like Rutgers Athletics for instance) but I don’t “like” them. I prefer to read more than participate.

For the ignorant, well, yes.
I thought you quit the board after your embarrassing temper tantrum.

I still follow him. I think hes misinformed and easy manipulated by the mainstream but I respect his 1st amendment right to express his opinion/feelings.
my two pieces of advice for him would be
1) do a little more research on the topics he’s talking about
2) propose realistic changes and reforms. Being loud doesnt accomplish anything imo

Me too.
He had nailed that Ted Knight character from Caddyshack to a T.
Stop. You’re twisting the word. You’re following this thread, Rutgers lacrosse, Amex platinum, etc. In this instance it simply means that you pay attention to something.
