[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1486359, member: 746137"] Take the R word out of this for a second, and think about reading this from the perspective of Jonathan Sutherland, the player to whom it was sent, who is an honors student and team captain. The message is loud and clear. The institution you pour your blood sweat and tears into belongs to us, it does not belong to people who have cultural signifiers associated with you and people like you, and you will only be truly accepted into this institution with our permission, exclusively on our terms. The stuff about the NFL drops the mask even further. Sutherland isn't some big surefire draft prospect, but because of his "disgusting" hair he's shown that that's where he belongs. It ain't subtle.
