Top running back Chuba Hubbard says he won’t play for Oklahoma State after coach seen wearing OAN T-shirt
Oklahoma State University running back Chuba Hubbard has said that he will not play for the school after coach Mike Gundy was seen wearing a T-shirt advertising a far right news network that supports president Donald Trump.
Hubbard tweeted that he would never do anything for the university again, unless there were changes made, after Mr Gundy was pictured in a top emblazoned with OAN, which stands for One America News.
The far right network, founded in 2013, is often cited by Mr Trump and is known for pushing conspiracy theories and false claims.
During the recent George Floyd protests, OAN falsely claimed that pipe bombs had been planted at the Korean War Memorial in Washington DC, and falsely suggested the 75-year-old man pushed to the ground by officers in Buffalo, New York, had ties to anti-facist organisation, Antifa.
The photo of Mr Gundy and his two sons was posted to Facebook, but was then shared to Twitter by CBS journalist Kyle Boone.
After seeing that Mr Gundy had worn the T-shirt, Hubbard tweeted: “I will not stand for this..This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable.
The Staff: I wrote on this Blog a long time ago that America was gone and the past weeks have shown me to be correct. Freedom of speech, freedom of thought have disappeared to never be seen again in my life. I use to believe I lived in the best of time. Not anymore as this country is filled with hate and all races are guilty. After hearing some dumb ass named Jim Clyburn call Senator Scott a liar showed me this is all about hate and power. Both men are black and yet you could feel the hate coming from Jim Clyburn. What is said was no true but a bunch of Americans will believe anything if said enough.
