Is this a more or less offensive social media mishap than Marcus Foster and Tre Harris high on spring break? At first I think rape joke, but then I remember that Marcus and Tre were college athletes and Chet is a coach and I want to take his side in every circumstance because that makes me a better fan.

I hesitate to even say anything, obviously I don't agree with what Goolsby said, but it was well within the realm of a serious social/political position and he wasn't name calling or being immature about it.  He has a perspective.

For a coach to IG out that crap is unreal.  Chet has had lots of stupid meme stuff before, and that was fine as far as it went.  But this is just a really bad look.  How are you supposed to be talking to young men about how to carry themselves when you are acting like a clown on your social media and don't know how to carry yourself as a professional?

It's probably not great to make fun of rape, even if the joke is at the expense of the rapist. Like, if someone gets murdered, and someone makes a hilarious meme about the murderer, I'm sure it's not making the family of the deceased feel any better.

It's worse because Chet's a grown up.

for the rest of the morons ITT, keep in mind you can not necessarily be offended by it and still admit it's worse than what Tre and Marcus did, given their respective circumstances.

I say this as a former Doug Gottlieb supporter, Chet's social media presence should not be given the same latitude as a stand up comedian.

Yeah. The kids getting kicked off the team should have led to a coach getting fired.

In a vacuum, I disagree, but if the other posts about what others on the team were saying happened, then yes.  It really seems like there are much more indicators out there showing a lack of organization and dreadful management.  This could be looked at as part of that.  Chet has the right to social media, but as a coach, it's a tool, not an outlet for personal expression, and he just represented the team with a rape joke.

He was tried, convicted, and executed in the jury of public opinion quite a few months ago. I don't think it's been easy to muster up (again) the outrage that everyone already got out of their system quite awhile ago.

Yeah, even if it was just a joke without a rape element it's a poor use of social media. He is basically in sales and his IG account is representing the basketball program. Using social media in this way is flat-out a bad way to do his job.

Get a private FB account if you want to post dumb memes, and use a public account for connecting to recruits.

Also unethical in that he took someone else's joke and put it back out himself w/the "who did this?" bullshit instead of just RT'n or RIG'n the original joker.

But in 2013, the Departments of Justice and Education greatly broadened the definition of sexual harassment to include verbal conduct that is simply “unwelcome.” Out of fear of federal investigations, universities are now applying that standard—defining unwelcome speech as harassment—not just to sex, but to race, religion, and veteran status as well. Everyone is supposed to rely upon his or her own subjective feelings to decide whether a comment by a professor or a fellow student is unwelcome, and therefore grounds for a harassment claim. Emotional reasoning is now accepted as evidence.

I mean, isn't this what harassment has always been? If someone thinks speech is unwelcome, isn't it in fact unwelcome and could be considered harassment? Maybe I don't understand what harassment traditionally meant.

Until recently, the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights acknowledged that speech must be “objectively offensive” before it could be deemed actionable as sexual harassment—it would have to pass the “reasonable person” test.


^this isn't based on subjective feelings? Just because you say it's objective doesn't make it so.

i think it could depend on how the standard is applied - in practice, i'm sure it's subjective.  but it could be objective if the "reasonable" person is really the mean or median person and it was based on what %s of people find what stuff offensive.
