"Slightly off" and "...precise count of 11 players", LOL, reporter wrote that Kirby had allowed 11 players accused of sexual assault or domestic abuse to continue to play and that the coaching staff and players had rallied to defend the 11. The reality is; there have been 3 players accused of any sort of assault involving women since Kirby arrived and all 3 were dismissed from the team. Major newspapers don't fire reporters if stories are basically true except for some minor technical detail. This was a case of a reporter making up a story and the AJC printing a blatant lie without checking any of the facts.Judd was fired for “violating the organization’s journalistic standards.” Are you kidding me?
There are violations of journalistic standards in the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation daily.
And this is what they are calling out: The number of players might be slightly off and two statements were put together but did not change the meaning of the quote. The way it was presented did not meet Bulldog standards should have been the statement. Bulldog alumni pressure at work big time!
See excerpts from article below:
The AJC’s editors said they could not substantiate one of the article’s key assertions about Head Coach Kirby Smart’s tenure: that 11 players remained with the team after women reported violent encounters. The “precise count of 11 players” could not be substantiated under the AJC’s standards, the statement said.
In a second error, the article improperly joined two statements a detective made minutes apart into a single quotation, the statement said. Connecting the sentences did not change the meaning of the quote, but the way it was presented to readers failed to meet AJC standards, according to the statement.
AJC issues corrections for Georgia football investigation, fires reporter (saturdaydownsouth.com)
I guess other than the number of players involved and whether or not they were allowed to remain on the team, the other part of the article is true. Kirby Smart IS the coach and the team is Georgia. Other than those facts, the article was completely false. Major newspapers don't issue retractions and apologies and fire reporters over minor discrepancies in a story.
If the story fits the narrative it's fine and if it doesn't fit the narrative it conspiracy and lies and we do anything we can to kill it. Bulldog alumni hard at work as this story raised unwanted scrutiny!
Beg to differ. The Snake had an anti-USC agenda dating back to when the snake Herman Helms was Sports Editor. You youngsters may not know anything about Helms but it was allegded Frank McGuire came to fisticuffs with Helms. Moron Morris the snake reporter SOS banned was just one in a long line of snake reporters who looked for anything negative they could dredge up against us and they often had an expose to occur about recruiting time. So the snake and USC and the AJC and UGA are very different imo.
If you don't think the AJC has been looking for anything negative to report on UGA for many decades, you aren't aware of reality when it comes to that. The AJC was always carrying Georgia Tech's water going back to the 1950s up into the 2000s. Now that Tech is horrid and the AJC can't spin anything into a positive, the AJC has focused on bashing UGA.
Here you come with the water bucket again. Looks like the old saying is true. A kicked dawg yelps. Anyway I’m thru with this pi***** contest.
Thank you, haven’t been called a youngster since Frank pulled his boys outta Paul’s house.
The entire article was one big lie. The article stated that while Kirby has been coach, 11 players were accused or arrested for violence against women and were allowed to continue playing and the coaches and the players intervened on those players behalf. The facts are; 3 players have been accused of some sort of violence against women and all three were dismissed from the team when the charges were filed. In one of the cases, several players went to the police to defend their teammate. They did this completely on their own, there was no coach involved in any way. If Kirby had prevented them from going to the police he would have been tampering with a police investigation and would have been denying those players their right of free speech.
No, but I think the narrative of UGA being some sort of "outlaw" program has been pretty effectively refuted. Firing a reporter is a pretty big move for a major newspaper. There was much more than "intimidation" involved seeing as how the AJC has been hammering UGA football for many years.
The "intimidation" I was speaking of was that meant to stymie anyone thinking of doing any further investigation into UGA football crimes and misdemeanors. This firing was meant to shut things down by a showing the power of the UGA Alumni and how far they are willing to go to close this down.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get
UGA has always had a "fixer" on staff that showed up to help players know when to talk and when to shut up. Every program has one of those on staff. If you don't think USC , Clemson, UT, UF, etc. have a "fixer" on staff, you aren't living in the real world.
Uglay’s history of being an “outlaw” program started long before Kirbi. Why don’t you go back to fleabag land and sell your snake oil
Exactly! He can’t let it go. Gotta be a mutt lover. Careful though. They like sniffing ***
I’m sorry but 83 interactions with police that required a court case is not huge??!!
