    2001 Odyssey, another landmark nude club, even set up a large tent at their entrance so the RNC delegates could drive into it and enter the club with privacy. The family values party and all.

    Good for them. Hopefully it trickles down to young black athletes and they choose to take their talents elsewhere and don't sign with any program in shythold state Florida led by the moronic governor.

    What's the Too Hot brain trust's next adventure? Trolling the recruiting forum and warding off prospects? I mean, if you have the courage of your convictions, that's exactly what you should be doing. How could you live with yourselves if we landed a bona fide 5 star of color and you said nothing? In fact, if you don't go there immediately and stay there like you have done in here for the last several years, you are a danger to our democracy.

    Wouldn't say a travel advisory makes sense, but I definitely find the Governor's agenda to be very one-sided.

    Anyone taking this "warning" seriously is either an idiot or a moron. Can't fix stupid.

    D Wade fleeing the state is probably more impactful to young AA’s thinking of coming here than the NAACP pronouncement. Although as I posted somewhere else, I could definitely see Kiffin or Saban using this “warning” to negative recruit against UF, even though it’s obviously laughable to market Alabama and Mississippi as a safe haven from racists relative to FL (and can basically say that for all southeastern conference schools!).

    I doubt this impacts recruiting. Although directionally, it can’t be helpful. The concern is if some NFL players started having “Disney-like” issues with the FL government, like when that former President went hostile against the NFL, if a state govt did that sort of crazy - perceptions could get worse in a hurry. NFL player isn’t going to leave the country, but choosing a different state is a pretty low bar. Is this a disadvantage we want to put Napier at? Guy’s probably going to struggle for 6 wins without all the bs.

    I would very much like to, but I’d get banned for bringing in civil rights, wokeism and politics in to the discussion. Help!!!! My free speech is being stifled!

    You know Saban and Kirby will use it against Florida schools. MAGA contingent refuses to hold Floridas moronic governor accountable for any of the toxicity he promotes tho, so they’ll just blame it on players being woke lol

    We’re to find out (I’m guessing) that the NAACP is a dinosaur. The BLM ethos reigned for about a year, hostage videos were made, hush reparations were paid, then things got back to normal.

    Most of the posters in the recruiting forum are DeSantis sheep so they’ll chase you outta there if you mention anything they deem to be “woke”

    And the states right that people were willing to fight for was the right to own people.

    Except that isn't true. Wade moved to LA in 2020. This was a pure BS story.

    Maybe this would hold more water if the Chairman of the NAACP actually didn't live in FL LOL. I mean if it's so bad for black people in FL he should immediately move.

    That doesn't change the fact that it's your patriotic duty to educate and enlighten them. Additionally, the folks in Swamp Gas need help understanding that in the light of the NAACP's advisory, playing Georgia in Jacksonville every year is not only unfair, but also racist.

    Take heart. I never would've believed ya'll could turn Too Hot into a shithole country--oops, I meant forum--either, but you did.
