Brent Venables and the Sooner football program he leads is moving on. Among the first things he said this week upon meeting media for the first time since former assistant Cale Gundy’s sudden resignation was this segue to anything other than it: “All that needs to be said has been said.”
Thank you for writing this column. It is an important one and raises many issues that still need to be addressed, and not just swept under the rug. The comment your reader John Holmes raised is also an important one. The continued use of the "n-word" by African-American athletes or public celebrities against each other also needs to STOP. Their usage of this vile term only keeps it in the public vocabulary, when it should be dis-used by all. Thank you, again, for writing this important article. Luceen Dunn
When I played college football the people that use that racial slurs more than anybody way more than anybody that I know of was always the African-American athletes they would call each other that.
As athletes on the teams that I was on we were way above that we were team members we are brothers from another mother to make up a team we didn’t divide each other we worked together we looked at each other’s Strength and built our team around our strengths. Every team is a different team every state is a different state every school is a different school just because it’s happening in one place don’t assume that it’s happening everywhere because it’s not.
Brent Venables, Sooners move on without revealing much
