You da man, Dabo


May 27, 2015, 10:25 PM

There was this guy at work who loved talking politics. I personally hate talking politics at work, you know, but I agree with him on some issues. Not so much on others. Anyway, people are sick of hearing his views, especially the more extreme ones. Plenty disagree with him on fringe issues. So one day he sorta calls me out about a certain politician we both dislike. He disses him and says "right, Wallace?" My response is to tell him sorry, but I already told you I prefer not to talk politics at work and please don't try again to use me to support your positions. Do it yourself.

This is exactly what Dabo Swinney did today, and I applaud him. Even if you agree with someone, they have no right to force you into a political statement to further their own causes. Yes, Even if they triple dog dare you. Dabo and other coaches don't go around weighing in on these issues for good reason. They're football coaches, not political commentators. Why would you expect him to change basically on a dare from the group, its detractors, and the hungry media, all of whom are looking for a pawn in their fight?

He made the right call. As he usually does.
Go Tigers!

Sensibility and humanist thoughts are grounds to get pounded on TNet these days .
If you want to toe the line , best be prepared to see that pulse head south .

And I really do think Dabo handled this correctly. Even if he agrees completely with the group. No use embroiling Clemson Football in a pissing contest.

That was an excellenlty simplistically stated analogy that
