Petition to end Racism/Homophobia on the Blue Board

11 months ago

Fellow RCMBers:
A group of us have been alerted to the fact that the Blue Board, the flagship board of 247, has and continues to be tolerant of racist/homophobic comments. In an effort to change this, we're starting a petition, with a message to 247 that this type of content is not acceptable for this community. See the link below, and please add your support to this cause.
Thank you for your time and effort

PS: I know I know, cool story bro, 247 won't listen, etc. Quite frankly I think this is something worth taking a stand on; this is supposedly our community, and recruits, etc. read 247. I don't want to be associated with a bunch of racist/homophobic idiots and I don't think that has a place on a college sports recruiting board. This is the brainchild of the MSU/UM contingent on tBB, so you figure if we can agree on something it's probably worth pursuing . . .
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

Well, I was able to upvote the thread (after un-"hiding" the OP ), but couldn't do more than that because I'm a lowly denizen of tRCMB.
Life goes on.

You really need a petition to end racism and homophobia on the "main board" of this network?

Noble cause but I don't think it will happen. They will lose 75% of their posters.

Isn't their leader/main mod one of the worst perps for that stuff? How do you get rid of him, if true?
PS- Trev, it's in your best professional interests to take action against this, on paper & legally, as being associated with and having any financial ties to racists and/or homophobes can be very bad business, and can be the kind of thing that follows you throughout all your future endeavors.

Here are my incoherent thoughts on the matter:
Things that change things: lawyers, guns and money
Things that don't change things: bumper sticker, placards and petitions
Besides, assuming recruits read that board, and assuming that most of the racist/homophobic comments are coming from a certain geographic area, I think it's useful to accentuate the differences between the schools by letting those comments remain.
P.S. The moniker "The Blue Board" is gay. (sic) /sarcasm

Homophobic? So I guess they're scared of gay people?
