Ok. A few points from my perspective.
1. I dont think athletes should be pressured to make political statements just because everyone else is. What evander Kane did to Crosby the other day is dumb.
2. While calling attention to important social issues on social media is important, simply making your profile pic all black does nothing if your political and social behavior does not back that up.
So what I will say about narduzzi is going to break both of those rules.
Where is his statement today? What is taking so long? He is losing a social media narrative right now. And yes...its only social media, but in today's climate, he might just want to do something about it. Capel has been very outspoken for a week now. Practically every head coach at Pitt has commented. Beatty, Harley, Partridge have all commented. Hell our womens lax coach that doesnt even have a team has commented. Add this perhaps silly story about former players ripping him and this is just going to get more messy. It doesnt help that the Pittsburgh media beat writers are already making this a big deal. I just worry about the PR. I hope by the time I finish this, he has posted something.
Just my thoughts on a potential PR nightmare that Pitt doesnt need right now.
