Zeek 16,650 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Sorry guys war is a no-no word for the same guy who uses MFers to describe Auburn fans and GD in numerous tweets. Great hire Auburn... Absolutely embarrassed this clown’s attached to our university. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,425 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I tried to think of a better way to word this so that I don't sound like I'm defending this guy because I think he's another snowflake. The last tweet above just looks like a hack job because of the wording comparing it to the other tweets. Other than that he can forget being viewed well by the Auburn family as a whole...instead he will be viewed as a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,603 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 "I'm never going to be able to call myself a War Eagle" That's very good, because we don't call ourselves War Eagles. "..or say 'Go War Eagles'" That's good, because if you did people would think you are very ignorant. This yahoo should have educated himself before he posted those remarks. I hope he's better informed on the subjects he teaches students than he is on Auburn sports. PS: Are we sure this guy is real? He seems too stupid to have graduated from high school, let alone have earned an advanced college degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the only tweet that bothered me and it's very inconsistent with the tone of the other tweets. As for snowflake, that's always been a funny term to me in regards to how it was birthed and given rise. A strong emotional reaction to a teacher not wanting to celebrate the word "war" seems... well.... I hope everyone will focus on the fact that he eagerly embraces other pro-Auburn slogans without that word. War Eagle is his orange facemask! Let him have it, ya snowflakes!

aubietiger14 147 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 yeah he locked down that twitter account fast yesterday. Before he locked it down I did scroll through his tweets and he seems to just be a pot stirrer. He's gonna come down to Auburn and re-educate all us suth'nuz on our traditions and how to think.

Grumps 3,704 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The thing is, he Tweets stuff like that and then will write about how bigoted everyone in the south is when they don't like him. It appears that he is a white man of Jewish heritage who has become an expert on being black, based on his CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s quite clearly some deep issues bouncing around his head. Appears to be rather young too. Would wager he went straight from his phd (which he’s enough of a tool to include in his username) to being a lecturer with no real world experience.

I hear you Loof but the reason I personally used the term snowflake is because he takes exception to a descriptive word being war. Now if we we're talking about an actual war that would be different in my opinion but the use of the word war as an adjective to describe the eagle is no more offensive than me being upset at the term bald eagle because my hair is extremely thin on top... Come to think of it I just had a birthday recently and I'm now offended by golden eagle too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if we were taking about an actual war that would be different in my opinion but the use of the word war as an adjective to describe the eagle is no more offensive than me being upset at the term bald eagle because my hair is extremely thin on top... That's a reasoned take. But here's the thing. What do we call "War Eagle"? It's not our mascot. What term do we typically refer to it by instead? Quote “War Eagle” is Auburn's battle cry http://www.auburn.edu/wareagle/ I don't agree with the guy's stance on this but let's not pretend that military fetishism isn't pervasive in football culture. Where do the linemen play? "In the trenches." What do we call a long pass? A "bomb". What do we call a particularly strong throwing arm on a QB? A "cannon". We could go on for days. Again, I don't agree with the guy, but let's not pretend that things aren't what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
