Is it too late for the state congress to weigh in on Crews? Has anyone asked the pope for his thoughts?

Hauck was trying to bring him on to the Griz as a walk on, just like the Cats are doing. He didn’t have Zac address the team and beg for forgiveness because it was still damn new at the time and there were Griz players (very good ones) threatening to leave the team if he was allowed to join. Once the Kaimin got involved and claimed taking him on would take the Griz backwards 10000 steps, I don’t think Hauck had a choice. It wasn’t that look ago that Hauck had to sit in front of a community panel in Missoula when he was being hired at UM again forced to make promises that the kids will stay out of trouble. It is what it is.

Sounds reasonable and true. I don’t think that will fly around here.

In the article that came out afterward, Crews father said they were still going to bring him in on a scholarship.

Crews is an athlete. You could put this kid anywhere on the field and he would be a freakin stud. I don’t care what the other side says, kid made a mistake, he admitted it and paid for it, and now is getting a second chance. Exactly what a ton of kids in college sports do. Can’t wait to see him get his chance to play. Congrats Zac!!
Very athletic. Fast, strong. Good hurdler and would’ve placed but had an issue in the finals. Third in javelin, sixth in shot, sixth in TJ. Quite a range of events.

I’d like to see him at safety. Probably never happen. Old school Kenny Easley, Joey Browner type. He’d scare a lot of receivers on crossing routes: something MSU was burned on a lot last year.
He won the 110 hurdles and javelin as a junior 14.95, 176-08. Took third in state wrestling.

F-u-c-k the reporters and the horse they rode in on. This is no longer a story. It's a bunch of woke bitches beating a dead horse. And for anyone who thinks they need some response, as to why he's a Bobcat? Go pound sand!
The storyline coming out now from the reporters is about how UM/Hauck screwed Crews over. You and HLC are so wound up about who’s woke that you can’t take the time to even understand what the actual issue is. Which is probably par for the course.
Everyone has understood for a year now that people wanted to end his football career over a private joke when he was a junior in high school. You can act sensitive about the words people use to describe that but that's the actual issue.

Except that Hauck continually misled the Crews family. He told them them that UM would bring Crews on and then backed out of that promise. Maybe if Hauck had been honest with the family, they could have made educated decisions about what to say in public (like with Butte Sports) and got ahead of any Kaimin article. Hauck’s handling of the situation was extremely poor and has even affected the Griz’s recruiting position with future Sentinel prospects.

The problem for Crews is that he’s White. If he were not white, this wouldn’t have been sleuthed in the first place and if it had people would have disapproved and yet written it off as youthful indiscretion. But our culture holds white people to a different standard because they’ve swallowed the vicious lie that white people are somehow more prone to racism than people of other skin colors. That, ironically, is the open ethnic prejudice that no one actually cares about.

A Black player at a prominent P5 school just had his scholarship pulled for using a racially insensitive term. But, yeah, this just happens to White people. Got it.

The current storyline is about UM fans et al wondering why UM didn’t keep Crews. At this time it isn’t about what Crews did. That has become a secondary issue.

There is, however, some bad reporting going on relative to this.

I’m not saying that people of other ethnicities are *never* held accountable. But I have eyes and I have ears and it’s perfectly obvious that the culture holds white people to a different standard and assumes that prejudice is part and parcel of so called “whiteness.” It’s not a comfortable thing to say out loud, but it’s true.

Marcus Stokes is white. Unless you’re posting about somebody else, you gave further validation to the claim you’re denying exists.

Agreed, unfortunately this is sort of intertwined with an event happening with the football team right now. Everyone is going to have an opinion on it from their political viewpoint. Would be nice if we could talk about sensitive, important subjects with some civility but this thread is just a snapshot of where the country is at this moment, unfortunately. Personal insults are part of the discourse.
