Glad to see coach Willie Simmons has a backbone and respects those who have honorably worn the FAMU uniform in the past!
Simmons in a statement said that while he supports free speech and musical expression, the language in the video "is not consistent with Florida A&M's core values, principles and beliefs."

Sounds like he is attempting to be a good leader for the young men he associates with.
I'm thankful for people like this.

He reinstated the football activities today so he was just blowing a little smoke with no intentions of making much of a stand

So, what was he supposed to do? Cancel the season? Everyone on the team did not participate in the video. So, what is the sense of having them on a continued punishment. He made his point. Now, you quietly punish those who participated with something extra to really drive it home to them.

Nothing else. Publicly acknowledged and condemned the unauthorized use of university football facilities, the desecration of the FAMU jersey honorably worn by past players and the language/images which do not represent the university. Now waiting for the investigation to identify those involved and will punish the guilty parties. Well done! 👏

It's an HBCU dude. There are only two white guys on the team, a QB and and OL. Why make this something that it is not just to feel victimized in some way.

Even more reason they won't be. The two token white guys might get suspended.

.....and if they participated in the video, they should be. Now you are just being silly. Nobody is setting out to persecute the small number of white people going to Florida A&M.

That's not how justice works in this country.
