UCF apologizes for National Guard social media post during blowout win over Kent State
The post, the school said, was supposed to be referencing NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, who pretended to call the President to get the National Guard during their game against the New England Patriots in 1996.
"An unfortunate post was made with the intention to reference the famous Shannon Sharpe sideline clip of him on the phone from a 1996 game against the New England Patriots," UCF said in a statement to USA Today. "As soon as our staff was made aware of the unintended reference to the unfortunate event that took place at Kent State in 1970, the post was removed. It was addressed with our staff immediately, and updated protocols have been put in place to avoid a situation like this in the future.
"Vice president and director of athletics Terry Mohajir has apologized to Kent State director of athletics Randale L. Richmond."
The National Guard was called onto campus at Kent State when students were protesting the Vietnam War in 1970. The National Guard later fired into the crowd. Four students were killed and nine others were injured in the incident, which sparked a nationwide outcry at the time.
Black conservative grifter Brandon Tatum shared one of his most brain-dead takes yet about the racial abuse Texas football players suffered from Alabama fans.

The Athletic published an article last year claiming that the resistance to helmet headsets was at least partially because of how many coaches like that it enables them to steal signals:
Another concern among some SEC coaches wasn’t expressed publicly but has been suspected privately: Headsets would eliminate the ability to steal signals. The concept of stealing signals is an open secret in coaching, and some programs have elaborate operations. In a sport in which most rule changes benefit the offense, this could put the sides on the same level of an issue.
I would not be surprised if the "scout" was operating somewhat independently, hoping to make a name.
Got some kind of connection to use and went all out.
