Good For Scott And Good For The Team - The Pit Edition

[WildcatNkilt]

We're going in to what could be the most magical season of the Snyder Era. Coach has just come through horrible cancer treatment, is approaching 80 years old, a new AD, all the attention already focused on his team, and now he has to deal with the inane ESPN/Disney/SJW nonsense that this issue will attract. If I were gay and on a team approaching this situation, I would keep my mouth shut about it and not let those nincompoops a reason to stick their nosey-noses into my business and distract my team.

You are the only one so far in this thread that thinks this way.  There are so many more things in this world more important than college football...and Snyder is someone who has preached that since he arrived on campus.  This is a distraction, but sends a positive message to all who are listening.  I hope it brings this team closer together, and I hope it brings peace and hope to other LGBTQ people who are living in constant fear.

Unfortunately if the team does not play up to expectations, people like you will immediately point blame at Scott's decision to come out as being the distraction and reason for downward spiral.

I was certain that 'lemy's "black state" confusion on twitter yesterday was a joke.  Looks like I was wrong!

We'll rarely hear about this once the season starts.

It will be mentioned every game we play on disney sports. They are relentlessly on message/agenda.

IDK, lots of people probably

While true I guess, it's such a weird thing to get worked up about.

Then why does it matter if they report on it anyways? No one is forcing you to read or watch anything.

It matters because this team should get attention earned based upon what they have accomplished on the football field and will achieve on the field this season.

Will there be focus on what kind of sex any heterosexual or bisexual player has during the season? Why is this different? It's not like he has Leprosy or a club foot. It's simply how he wants to have sex for criminy sake!

I mean, if someone rapes someone or a sex tape comes out or a pornstar tweets a pic of her and a player in bed together... then yes, they will cover that too

LOL equating homosexual sex with rape.

[The Manhatter]

This will be a distraction for the team, and will not be good.

For the record, we are all human beings, we all have a sexuality. Some express that sexuality in a heterosexual manner, some in a homosexual manner, and others either can't make up their mind or bounce back-and-forth during their lives. It is what it is.

That obvious point being established, his doing this gives the ESPN-SJW's of the media world a reason to pay attention to Kansas State, and not in a good way. Now, we're going to be flooded with a focus all season long on all the ESPN/SJW-perceived social inequalities that need to be "corrected" in "backwards-Manhattan Kansas" as they see it.

I hope I'm wrong, for Snyder and this teams' sake, but MU and Columbia's problems all started when Sam came-out.

How would this be a distraction for the team?  The teams knew about this LAST season.  How is this a distraction?  Because he told the rest of us and some people might ask some questions?  Newsflash:  there have always been gay players on every football team, your fraternity, sorority, at work, all around you.  Now that a few more are known to be gay isn't a distraction.  The cool thing is that this is no big deal whatsoever for this generation.  That is what makes it such a cool generation.

plus we've got great hips.. which can be a distraction though

No, you just asked for topics dealing with sex and straight people that would be covered by the media.

If anyone is raping anything it is you and your comments raping this board.

I don't think it will be an distraction.  If it was, Snyder and the coaching staff would have not bothered to recruit him at the time.  Plus, the article stated that Snyder told Rowe that, if Frantz had told him he was gay during the recruiting process, it wouldn't have affected his evaluation. Snyder also said he was confident that the Kansas State players would accept Frantz.

And how is paying attention to K-State not a good way?  I mean, this isn't a major scandal like Baylor, Louisville, or North Carolina we're talking about here.

And for the record, MU's problems occurred not because of Sam, but because they did not have the talent to replace their good quality players that they lost.  Plus, MU is a area.

This has cleared up a lot of Twitter WTF's for me.

LOL again with you now equating rape with "sex and straight people!" Rape is a crime and is not about sex. Rape is about power.

Want to dig yourself further into the hole, or do you give up?

Not a good look for manpow5

Jfc we almost made it without the stupids chiming in

Yep.  It was going too well.  Knew it was just a matter of time.

This whole thing reminds me of how stupid and near worthless sports are relative to the love and  acceptance of other human beings.  The football is a needless distraction from that.

I'd abandon ship, manpow5. Try again tomorrow.

Yep.  Tune out all the crappy sports news and just read away about all the human being love and acceptance going on in the outside world.

It bothers me so much when people try to act like we shouldn't care about this or that it doesn't matter (usually with some bigoted qualifier, see "the K-State family" FB and issues with "condoning" or finding him "disgusting").  Just watch the video and see how emotional he gets.  See how he recounts the story of coming out, being so mentally shaken he is crying, sounding like near a panic attack,  all for telling his team mates, who should be his close confidants, what the fibers of his humanity are made of.  We have a long way to go when anyone still feels like they can't be loved and accepted for who they are.  If wanting a society where people can be who they are, without fear of reprisal and rejection makes you a SJW, sign me up.

You suppose this occurring on the day of the ESPYs is just a coincidence?

Ok thanks - totally a coincidence that the ESPYs were the night before.

Yup he was trying to cash in on all the post espy buzz.  A show that won't run again for a full year

Pretty solid points from 'lemy
