Editorial: Gundy and freedom of speech – Tulsa Beacon

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy is not a racist.

As a college football coach for decades, it would have been impossible for Gundy to hide prejudice if he had even one ounce of it.

Now, the liberal media is feeding the frenzy that Gundy is a racist because he wore a T-shirt with initials of a conservative news network that had the audacity to be critical of Black Lives Matter.

Black lives do matter but all lives should matter.

And free speech should matter.

Universities used to teach that debate and differences of opinion could be tolerate because they promoted intellectual growth and freedom of expression.

But no. Gundy sinned by wearing a T-shirt that with the initials of a network that dared to challenge political correctness.

The term racist has no meaning now because it has been so misused and abused. A racist is someone who hates someone of another race. The media definition now is that you are a racist if you disagree with any part of their leftist ideology.

So Gundy is a bad person because he liked some of the stuff he saw on TV. And the players at OSU now are in control of what coaches should and shouldnt do or wear.

OSU President Burns Hargis quickly abandoned his football coach because even though he pretends to be a conservative Republican, he prefers being liked by ultra-liberal professors to following common sense.

Mike Gundy is a good person and the best coach OSU has ever had. Its a shame that his good name is being dragged through the mud because of a disrespect for freedom of speech.
