Anyone see the racist hate mail Sumlin received from a "fan"?

Whatever outcome this moron was looking for, it's had the opposite effect. I'm Facebook friends with one of A&M's largest boosters (humble brag). They were pissed at his coaching, now they are pissed at this moron for saying this about him. He just bought Sumlin sympathy and changed the narrative over night.

Threatening seems like a strong word. An asshole, yes. But I doubt the guy who wrote it (or Mrs Sumlin) intends any real harm.

He said OR ELSE!! He means business.

Exactly what Sumlin wanted when he had this letter written mailed and then posted for the world to see.... SMH

they go 5-7 this year and sumlin says "but i got a racist letter" and the media eats it up.

Nah, I don't think so. A&M has had a problem getting trolled by white supremacy groups since they cancelled their protest recently. I think that will end up the culprit. I could be wrong though.

Either way, Sumlin had to know this would pose as the perfect distraction.

I wonder how this person feels rooting for black players on A&M? I've always found it funny that racists can root for a team with black people on the team.

As far as racist hate mail goes, that's pretty weak.


Anybody know if the Physical Therapist chick is hot? Hotter than Mrs. Sumlin?


I think I've cracked the case...

We're talking about a fanbase that idolizes 1950s America. A time not particularly known for tolerance, especially in that neck of the woods

They still have more than a few running around........more than I sure they'd care to admit to, but then, neither would any of us

Uhhh ... what was so bad about the '50s, other than no ND Natty during that decade?

You prolly didn't know this, but it was one of the most prosperous times in our nation's history and the beginning of the end to Jim Crow BS.

We had the Korean War. We were constantly worried about nuclear war with the Russians. Civil rights disturbances in Little Rock over school de-segregation. The Russians launched the first object into outer space in 1957-Sputnik.

two options when I google image search.

One is a classy, bespectacled lady, with a touch of gray. Who Id bang.

The other is a slightly younger las, who looks like my ex Sara, who I'd hate-bang.

Coach is prolly hittin em both.

Forgot where I was...

And for Texas AM it was the John David Crow era.

When in need of a quick historical timeline, look no further. (Also note the album title)

Pathologist, eh?

Why the Romans cheered for the Gladiators of their choice, but when the fight was over
the Gladiators went back to the cage.

You don't root for players...you root for teams.

Plus, if ever visited a tailgate in the deep south in the 70's that had fans from both
teams present you would have heard the statement..."Ours are better than yours."

 

[olympicoscar]

That response makes no sense. I have no idea what you're saying. A pathologist usually examines diseases to determine the causes. Try again please.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Wow...so two possibilities present themselves:

1) it actually IS a rich white dude
2) it's a regular schmoe who wanted to throw everyone off the scent, and he happens to know where the rich white dudes play golf

Either case, GBR has it right: it should be enough just point out that he's a shitty coach, but to the racist he's primarily a shitty coach because he's black

Exactly.

One's ability to coach a football team is nothing like a predilection to Hennessy or Christmas tree-shaped air fresheners; it's got nothing to do with being black.

He did close with "or else."

I don't think he was implying they were going to remove grape drink from the vending machines on campus.
