Yes, rant board.
Stick to sports!
Doubt many will dispute Fitz’s take on this. The issue is mixing any non-football take to the football board. We have the rant board for those inclined .What a stupid comment.
Props to Fitz, everyone with an audience should be speaking now.

Cool, but "Stick to sports!" is still a stupid comment.
You’d have to actually visit the Rant Board to understand I’m being facetious.Cool, but "Stick to sports!" is still a stupid comment.
Don't be too sure about that. Justine from Australia got a bullet in the chest from a Minneapolis police officer. She's dead too. She was not a perp, not even a suspect, she was the person reporting a possible crime. The Minneapolis police department has and continues to have a serious problem.9 minutes on a man’s neck is pretty obviously wrong. Pretty sure Fitz nailed it pretty right as Sven from northern Minneapolis is unlikely to get the 9 minute knee to the neck treatment.
All well and good that coaches come out for equality and justice. But the NCAA still fights star players, many of them African American, getting some coin for their image and likeness. Would it be a bad thing for players, many of whom come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, to get a little money while they raise Billions for the NCAA?
Fitz doesn't mince his words here: privilege, racism, oppression. He's not doing a balancing act. It is clear what he is saying, whether you like it or not. All things considered I am proud of his statement.
And then I thought to myself...I wonder what other head coaches are Tweeting, who are known to be active on the Twitter...
Dabo, Saban - no Twitter
PJ Fleck - "his death was indefensible"
Gus Malzhan - Wished his wife a happy anniversary
Lane Kiffin - deafening silence
Will Muschamp - see above
Clay Helton - video of him making a cheeseburger
Mack Brown - an impressive statement that expressed concern in a way that could be read as a show of sympathy to all sides. Maybe a run for public office is in order.
James Franklin - SAQUON BARKLEY 4-EVER
Ryan Day - solid, stand up guy, similar to Fitz. Finding him harder to hate than Urban or Tressel.
Tom Herman - condemned the act while making sure to praise the "many good men and women in law enforcement."
Dan Mullen - something about workouts and Tom Petty.
Mike Leach - Jerry Rice locker room quote/retweet. One from Pat Summitt before that.
I'll stop there.
We got the good one.
You got that right. To say nothing and urge silence from those you know, if only on a message board, is to fail at the most important part of life: failing to be counted and accountable for your fellow man. Thank you, Coach.pretty sure posting a tweet from Fitz (without commentary) is not off topic.

You must not know Sven. His chiropractor in Edina charges $150 for that treatment.9 minutes on a man’s neck is pretty obviously wrong. Pretty sure Fitz nailed it pretty right as Sven from northern Minneapolis is unlikely to get the 9 minute knee to the neck treatment.

I agree. He should have said “shut up and tackle!” and been more specific.Cool, but "Stick to sports!" is still a stupid comment.

BTW, the previous police chief was fired over that incident. Her replacement and the current incumbent, Medaria Arradondo, is a black man.
