Here’s Oregon senior football player Jamere Holland’s response to my post about his Facebook update on current Ducks player Kiko Alonso this morning:
chilln thinking of another status to f— with the readers heads, I wish I could block whites as friends and only have blacks LOL, cause apparently I’m misunderstood
Holland’s Facebook post came a few minutes after this was posted on Twitter by an Oregon supporter:
Both of Holland’s comments (#1, #2) were public (not part of his private account) and were transcribed word-for-word on SbB.
Holland played under Chip Kelly and Mike Bellotti at Oregon. Bellotti, who is now athletic director at the school, said last week of the Oregon football program:
I think we do a very good job of trying to educate those young men and young women as to the right things to do. And sometimes people make mistakes. We’ll let the legal system run its course and then obviously we’ll step in and do what’s necessary.

Maybe if he learned how to write in proper English he wouldn’t be misunderstood. Just a thought!

Good thing we have SbB to keep tabs on ex-Oregon football players’ Facebook updates.
THIS JUST IN: LaMichael James likes Jamere Holland’s status. Better blog about it!

I’m not sure if this whole thing is a bigger embarrassment to Oregon’s Athletic Department or their Engish Department… WOW

Let’s give props to Ohio State for taking care of these punks in the Rose Bowl. Think how insufferable they would be if they had won.

The other day I was just thinking about how often you personally are getting into people’s business. You are starting to become that dreaded scribe who wants to be the news not just report it. It’s sad because I really used to enjoy this site.

These guys always talk shit like this. It’s not really prejudice as much as ignorant stupid talk. You should here what they say about each other, then laugh. They’re throwing him off the team for this?
That said, people need to learn that the internet is public not a private phone call.

I believe the correct nomenclature is “honkies”… Jamere would like to block all honkies as friends. See, if he’d have said that, he’d still be on his way to earn that degree in PE in 2019.
