Blame the girl, not the dude (assuming it was consensual). Granted, I wouldn't want that kind of friend, but the girlfriend has the responsibility to him, not the dude. Usually when this happens the "victim" is better off without the cheater and is being done a favor once your ego is no longer hurt.

People often times say the right thing in public settings but do the wrong thing in private. IE they might say it's wrong to sleep with a girl that has a boyfriend to come accross as being a good person, but their past experience shows they've done it themselves. I tend to be more transparent and say what I really feel. This may not be as liked when you post it in social media, but my behavior matches my words. I don't pretend to be something I'm not or say the popular opinion for other people's acceptance. People are welcomed to like or dislike it and it's fine either way, but I think sometimes folks just go with what seems to be the popular opinion even if they are different in real life.
He knew she was with someone, and did the dirty anyway.
Agreed. Plus, Dantonio's players have shown a pattern of outstanding decision-making over the years - virtually unimpeachable, in fact - so why not let them run the show? I mean, it's not like Dantonio is paid millions of dollars a year to make these tough choices or anything, right?
No way Dantoni even opens this door unless it's a foregone conclusion that he wants the guy back, Reschke's his type of guy, and he already has the votes. Talk about a shitty culture that is just allowed to continue. What a colossal shitbag dick D'Antonio has been and continues to be. I hope he eventually gets fired but not before Michigan hangs 50 on a few of his teams on the field.
so there's no locker room chemistry to be had there. Felons, yes.

And what if he's alone in the comfort of his own home singing along to Dre Day from The Chronic?
Does revering and enjoying an artist make him a racist? Should he only sing the edited version for you so the Thought Police don't brand him a racist?
Good God, are you able to read? Please quote when I said anything about me wanting to say it.

Well, you seem to be spending a lot of time on here defending people saying the n-word, so it seems like you do. But I was using the second person pronoun because I was stating a general rule.

think the point is, white people don't get a say in whether it is or is not acceptable to use the N word with or in front of black people, for any reason. It doesn't matter that black people say it. It doesn't matter that Dr. Dre says it. None of that matters. All that white people need to know is that it isn't OK for white people to say it. Case closed.

view white racism toward black people and black racism toward white people as equal is to ignore the very ulgy history of our country's treatment of black people and other minority groups for nearly 200 years. Neither "version" of racism is a good thing, but they are not the same thing.
or we wouldn't have elected Donald Trump in the 21st century.
Racism does not work both ways. Getting called whitey is not the same as being lynched, being enslaved, being shot while unarmed, being denied access to loans, being paid less being passed over for promotion, being considered less human etc. Racism is academically defined as systemic oppression of a minority group by a majority group. It does not work both ways.
is not really even a widely accepted academic definition that he uses. Clearly most or all scholars accept the idea that racism, in practice, often results in a majority oppresing a minority but that is certainly not the "definition" of racism. Racism can and does sometimes exist without any discriminatory impact.
That is the academic definition of racism for anyone working in sociology, history etc. Racism is distinct from bigotry and prejudice which exist at an individual level.
You might be The dumbest person on this board. Get a job, asshole,
That's cool that you don't care about academic definitions. I also say "fuck people who study things" quite often. No doubt, being mean to white people is "not nice" or whatever. The point is, Black people experienced and continue to experience disproportionate amounts of discrimination from major social institutions. White people do not and have not.
I do agree that racsim has been used as a tool by the propertied classes to divide the working classes, however, denying the oppressioin black americans face today will not help the case of minorities, or of the working class as a whole.

I agree. His teammate slept with his girlfriend. He was betrayed by two people who were supposed to be closest to him.
Was it a case of him trying to find the most hurtful word to try and get back at him, and it was a one time deal? Or does he have racist tendencies and this was just the only time he got caught? None of us know him, so only his teammates can make that call. I heard a rumor that they voted him back unanimously, but obviously can't confirm that.
It doesn't make what he said any less reprehensible, but MSUs LB corps should be a strength for next season even without him, he would still need NCAA approval for a 6th year, and he hasn't played a snap since '16. Seems like a lot of risk for little reward if the team wasn't ok with it.
better than most MSU tries for. He had a high ankle sprain as a true freshman, so that looks like a medical redshirt. He only played two games in 2016 before missing the season with another injury.
They'll probably find a way to ask for a 7th season in 2019.

eligibility at MSU seems to be unlimited
That is a narrow view. I think this is the right move by MD. If he reinstates him, it may cause friction with the team. If the team votes to allow him back, they will more than likely except him. You have no idea if he is a racist or just said something in the heat of the moment, but his teammates do know him, so if they want him on their team, good for them. If not, good for them.
