Oklahoma State football coach kicks off player boycott & cries of ‘racism’ after donning shirt of pro-Trump TV network – By Russia Today Staff (Russia Today) / June 16 2020
Oklahoma State head football coach, Mike Gundy, is facing online wrath after being seen in a T-shirt bearing the logo of a conservative TV network, prompting calls for his firing and a star player threatening to boycott the team.
OSU coach Gundy sparked controversy on Monday, appearing in a photo online wearing a One America News (OAN) shirt, a right-of-center media outlet which often voices staunch support for US President Donald Trump. It wasn’t long before the wardrobe choice – on a private fishing trip, no less – landed Gundy in trouble, with star running-back Chuba Hubbard vowing to disassociate from the team entirely until “things change.”
“I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable,” Hubbard wrote on Twitter, apparently referring to ongoing police brutality protests across the US. “I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.”
