A Buddy Book post to Ms. Fits from a current Clemson Student


Dec 6, 2016, 7:23 PM

I do apologize for what is about to happen as it will unnecessarily clutter your Facebook feed:
Background: Jason Fitz is an ESPN commentator who recently said he actively roots against Clemson because of the fans on social media.

Dear Jason,
I am sorry that you feel this way. Fans should never tell you to "go kill yourself". It is reprehensible. But I think you have a misguided interpretation of Clemson fans. And the best way to cure ignorance is education.
We are repeatedly commended for our respectful tailgate atmospheres and opposing fans say we have better fans than theirs.
But more importantly, you don't know what a Clemson fan is. People who say "go kill yourself" are not Clemson fans, they are Tigers fans. People who reject the spirit of Clemson are not fans of Clemson, just the football team. What is the spirit of.Clemson? A bond between the common individual, where strangers call each other family. And we don't just say that, we mean it. We treat one another like brothers, and we treat enemies the same,
So when you say our fans are rude or disrespectful, you are wrongfully stereotyping a group of individuals because of a few bad eggs. And that sir, makes you no better than a racist.
Either educate yourself or stop talking.

Sincerely,
Tucker Pettigrew
