    White boy dropping likely in N word on line is not going to end well. Locker room problems we don’t need.

    Begs the question. If he was black, would his offer have been pulled?

    Black comedians and rappers weave tapestries with the word.

    That’s a rhetorical question, right?

    This is all sounds like BS. I guess we, as a society, should keep to our own? Own culture and our own music? Can’t sing lyrics to a song without getting crucified.

    Actually, probably not. Black Americans use the "N" word with impunity, and it is accepted.

    I don't think anyone should use the "N" word -ever- regardless if they are white or black.

    I especially do not think that Blacks should use the word at all if they find it so offensive and want people to stop using it. They, of all people, should set an example.

    The key here is not doing it on video....

    Why these kids insist on recording and posting everything they do is beyond me.

    PC. The N word is used so often in rap songs, by all groups, and I doubt seriously if a 5 star black recruit used it in a rap song he wouldn't be gone. Question, is it much different to sing the words vs owning and listening to those words?

    Frankly, no one needs to use that term period.

    You can … until you post it in social media for the world to see and hear. Then you deal with the consequences

    If I am him after I land somewhere else I get a lawyer to search social media and find other UF scholly players using the word. Because we all know they are there.

    Then I send those vids to UF with a demand letter.

    No, I don't want to come back, but you need to pay me. Otherwise it's a racial discrimination suit.

    If anybody on the team can't use a word then nobody on the team should be permitted to use that word.

    Double standards are how discrimination persists

    If this is the standard, every player's social media should be scrutinized and dismissed accordingly.

    Doing a thing as a private individual who is expressing himself freely is one thing. Doing it publicly, as a Gators FB recruit and hence a representative of UF, is an entirely different matter. The university had no choice in this situation, and I stand with them on it. To his credit, Marcus is handling the consequences of his indiscretion like a man, and I applaud him for it.

    The other guys in the locker room wouldn't give 2 $hits. 50 year white liberals are the ones that would be clutching their pearls.

    I’d just have him set that lawyer money on fire so at least it produces a little bit of heat, instead of getting absolutely nothing for it.
