It all has a history at St. Mary's University... a stupid, disgusting history of chants that college students (for some idiotic reason) think are funny...
This happened during freshman orientation week...
And, now, the lack of cleverness has carried over to the football team where it is apparent that anywhere from "six to nine" players are about to be suspended for their sexist and racist tweets...
Like this one:
Classy... and that's just the beginning...
Head coach Perry Marchese has tried to keep an eye on his player's social media habits, and has called them out on occasion. Most of the time if he has seen something, it has been a question about a song lyric. He says his staff have been strong in their anti-bullying stances, and will have to ramp it up again...
From the UNews piece:
“The song lyrics, a couple times, have gotten me,” says Marchese. “I’ve seen some stuff put up on Facebook and I’ll message them [...] and they’ll say it’s just a quote from a song.”
He says he asks them all the time to remove posts he’s seen as offensive from Facebook, and that they are constantly educated on monitoring their own social media.
“We preach it all the time, we talk about it all the time and to actually see some evidence that they aren’t getting it is a good education for me.”
One troubling passage from the UNews article:
But Marchese says he doesn’t know if he is educated enough to specifically talk to his team about issues of sexualized violence.
Really...???
If that's the case, then St. Mary's team may be in deeper trouble than they realize...
