For institutions it seems like there's not much you can't let blow over. Unless it's Paterno-like, the mob will move on and this will be largely forgotten by all but a few within a week or two, tops. I'll never look at Penn State the same way again, but nobody really gives a crap about the name on a building at Ball State.

If OSU fires Meyer that story will dominate and BSU will move into the background.

If I felt the N-word had been used Papa John in a hateful manner I would be the first to condemn. In this case he used the word in a conversation about trying to find a way to end racist ways. It is time ( and Ball State has done so) to stand up and tell this idiots to read why the word was used. If after actually READING AND UNDERSTANDING the context of the original conversation they still want to condemn....Screw 'em. He did no wrong this time in my book. He has said he was sorry and he was contrite. What more could he do?

Jason is wishy-washy. His paycheck is more important to him than telling the truth. Jason does not represent all of minority who deal with racist backlash daily. I hope BSU removes this racist's name. I will do my share to help and hold BSU do the right thing.

Really? Provide REAL documented evidence of his racism.
And please share verified examples of Whitlock not telling the truth.

i am not asking you to prove that John is not a racist. Not sure what you want from me for expressing my opinion in the forum. please do not post new topic if you are not willing to accept differing opinion...sorry i forgot we are under Putin's era. also, i look at it in the context of this country's history of racism beginning in 1776.
sorry if my post is creating pain to you!

Oh that’s lame. He’s a racist!!! Ok, what proof do you have to back that very damning statement about a man? It’s my opinion and it’s on you for not accepting my opinion as fact!
Is that how it works these days? He’s racist because I said so?

What does this even mean? Your post is not causing anyone pain.. Your opinion is your opinion and that is fine. We all are talking about it I just asked a simple question as I was curios.. You seem to have a different opinion on the issue than I do and thats cool. I was honestly just curios as to why you feel as strongly do. You are the one who seems to be getting bent out of shape here. Papa John may be a racist I do not know. I have never met the guy so I can not say. I guess we are under the Putin Era though when a person can not say a word in a conversation with out the fear of being persecuted.
