Why do dads of Brown kids dislike a university who had a mantra of OKG, and selectively recruited certain players who didn’t fit a mold to a predominately white university. The fact people don’t understand the cultural issues with OKG still baffles me.

I figured some nerds did a study on this, and by golly I was right. I think what you’re doing is called colonially framing and making common racialized assumptions.

The current study analyzed comments posted on Internet message boards devoted to U.S. college football. The investigators collected comments (N = 3,800) about instances in which a player initially announced intent to attend a particular university, but later changed his mind and signed a National Letter of Intent to attend a different university. While few posts included explicit mention of race (n = 11), commenters more frequently used forms of “color-blind” racial rhetoric that invoked racialized meanings without the overt use of racial terms (n = 346). Comments often reflected a white colonial framing of football players’ decisions, behaviors, and abilities, expressing a number of common racialized assumptions, including beliefs in the natural superiority of black physicality, doubts about black intellectual ability, and expectations about whites possessing skill, technique, and mental capacity. The presence of these racialized assumptions points to the continued salience of race in an era that is often claimed to be “color-blind” and free of racial discrimination.

Still confused on arguements it was a fuked up message to minorities, there is no coincidence it didn’t resonate with the brown fathers. Unfortunately Lake is still using a bastardized version. Where there smoke there is fire, schools just decided to recruit against UW using latent racism for no reason. OKG!!!

So whats the deal with the son's of brown fathers who have signed here over the past 7 years? What about the recruits themselves? Are they traitors or what lol... or are they simply victims of their own ignorance?

I don’t dispute that OKG was an unintentionally suburban/private school pitch.

This ruffling feathers of dads though? How much of it can be summed up by…

No Gee offer—>hurt daddy’s feelings—> scorched earth forevermore.
