I have zero problem with him doing that nor do I have a problem with him speaking in a synagogue or to Jewish groups. He can be the advisor to the student group if he wants. I think that kind of involvement in campus life is great. My post is about overtly partisan social media. Is he though? Or is he just a dude who is gonna post what he thinks/believes no matter which political side it falls on. 15 hours ago, auburnatl1 said: Btw I wonder if the right is always as positive about BPs positions. Ps Bruce is a gem, but by his nature he will drive anyone a little crazy. Just him being him. https://x.com/giana_jade/status/1269747717787521027 Like this, I feel like this move was probably embraced more by the left than right.... right? I think maybe, he doesn't care which side of the aisle his thoughts/beliefs happen to fall on. He's just going to state them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only evidence for your claim of balance is a photo of him 4 years ago doing what scores of coaches believed they needed to do at the time- support players protesting the death of George Floyd. You may remember though that early on that wasn’t particularly partisan at all. It was only after excesses done in the name of BLM and large riots that the issue became more partisan. But he wasn’t particularly vocal and didn’t tweet much, if any, about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am beginning to wonder if you are supportive of free speech or just the speech you approve of?

I don't follow every college coach, but I do keep an eye on right wing pundits like Clay Travis, who reposts Bruce and loves him. I haven't seen that for any other coach. I love Bruce as a basketball coach. I even like his personality. But this stuff is exhausting. It's also the same environment that got Freeze hired but that's another story. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't and never have used X/Twitter, always seemed to be an app for celebrities to try to retain fame. Or else for idiots looking for echo chambers to huff their own farts in... though I looked up Bruce after your comment, but the cutoff seems to be 4 years, so I can't see anything he ever posted before 2020. But I will agree, if the dude stayed silent through 4 years of Trump... didn't have one thing to complain about the POTUS that whole time... then yeah, clearly partisan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is interesting is you believe I control what PB has to tweet. I agree with what he tweets on this subject, but PB has his own thoughts. You don’t have to agree with me, nobody does, but as Mims44 pointed out PB was really not active before 2020 and when he was it was over the George Floyd issue, which was OK as that was not presented on this board as partisan. PB has been more active lately for a reason and now members of this board are saying he is partisan, yet they can’t figure out the connection. Interesting.

Stop funding both sides of the conflict. Biden has allowed $billions of dollars to flow to Iran since his tenure started. He has financed Hamas and made them stronger since 2021. It is not all about aid to Israel, its allowing Israel to finish the job without interfering in their struggle to survive as a nation. America has a problem of not finishing a war and it has had that problem since Viet Nam. Our enemies know this, see bin Laden, Afghanistan and now Ukraine.

Precise Hamas individual names. And then how many more innocents are you willing to sacrifice to get them. I’ve always argued the amount of global villianization (long term consequences) Israel is taking on isn’t worth this. And will cost them big down the road. But even a bad plan has to look like it is an actual plan with specific goals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas is big, but Titan is Titan: The noun titan comes from Greek mythology, in which the Titans were a race of gods.
