Doug has been a person of color all this time without mentioning it? Real bootstrapper IMO.

Nah, ol Dougie is a white boy. And what kind of dickhead would say he's a person of color when he really isn't?

I was quite indifferent Howe until this month, but holy shit he sucks.
He wants to be able to shit whatever comes out of his brain all over the internet, but is offended by the same directed at him.

I like the people defending him the most. As if he Uncovered some massive underground racist culture at Iowa. He still hasn’t done anything but expose the thoughts and feelings of disgruntled quitters and is still desperately trying to land something big enough to justify his actions. He didn’t even report anything. The players tweeted out in public view.

It’s simply stunning to me that he is trying to play the hero here. As if, as mentioned above, he broke this whole “case.”

this dipshit literally had one fucking job: cover Iowa athletics. And in over 20 fucking years of having one damn job....he was totally clueless ANY of this was going on. Now he’s glommed on like a fucking parasite to public info, here to play White Savior.

I often think the clear indicator of a truly low IQ individual is doing something so intensely stupid and public as this and thinking they’ll get away with it like nobody knows what they’re doing.

this dumb bastard’s career is basically a story from Reddit

I spoke with Marc Morehouse, a University of Iowa beat writer for the Gazette in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who told me that at the school, “This culture has always been borderline bully, fully military and aggressive against black culture.”

Sounds like an enabler to me.

He probably thought he was just talking to the guy. Some of those read like they were pretty informal statements.
No way. Maybe if he worked in another sector but he's in media (sorta) for god's sake. You'd have to be a special kind of idiot to not choose your words carefully when you get called by a reporter from a national media outlet who you don't know.

“He’s been building a grandpa image with the help of a public relations firm,” he said. “You miss shit like your strength coach telling kids to go back to the ghetto.”

This is some bridge burning shit. That's pretty scathing, imo, considering it was coming from a media member and not someone who didn't know what they were doing.

He is also close enough to this story to know that “ghetto” wasn’t said

We joke about how much these guys seem to hate their jobs and resent what they get paid, but maybe that's what it boils down to. It's easy to risk it all when you have nothing to lose.
