What is he even trying to say there?

That's a very good question. I don't think the intent really matters. I think Seth from MGoBlog summed it up pretty well:

  1. Donovan Edwards RT'd an antisemitic message, then took it down. Specifically this one:

  2. Regardless of his intent (which I take was to point out how a Black man who uses hate speech against a white ethnic group is more quickly vilified than a white person who goes racist), what he shared was antisemitic trash. The video it went to is antisemitic trash. To have it shared by a graduate from West Bloomfield and a student at Michigan, and a member of the Michigan football team is embarrassing to West Bloomfield, to Michigan, and to the Michigan football team.
  3. He's 19. And at Michigan. I don't believe this is a way of thinking he's going to subscribe to permanently.
  4. The way of thinking, not the accident of badly articulating it, is the problem.
  5. The amount of vitriol directed at Ace, who screengrabbed the retweet, watched the video, and shared it in a way that was valuable to anyone trying to figure out what just happened, in this thread was absolutely disgusting. The guy is our friend and worked here for most of a decade. Grow up.

I think it’s stupid to judge kids for saying or believing stupid stuff on the internet. But also when you are in a position of somewhat relevance you should probably know better.

I realized today that this weekend I'll be watching two who are starting their adult career (joey porter jr and Marvin Harrison jr) who have dad's that I watched their whole entire careers. Made me feel old

I've seen plenty of fathers and sons play in person over the years. The first duo for me was Johnny Musso (father) for Alabama in 1971 and Brian Musso (son) for Northwestern in 1997! I suppose one day soon, I could see a grandson play too.

Yes but I already know you are old as dirt. I'm still coming to terms with it for myself

I think he’s taking the “accidentally retweeted” stance. Which id say is BS because Twitter burries stuff like that you really have to seek it out to even see it.

yeah, he definitely retweeted it on purpose. You don't accidentally RT on twitter. You can accidentally like something with fat fingers, but you always have to confirm retweets. somebody from the Michigan athletic department gave him an apology letter to tweet out. in the apology letter, they're still going with "this was just an accident!" excuse. Pretty weak stuff from Michigan.

his response to the fallout was pretty weak. No real "sorry" and I don't buy the "glitch" excuse.
