That was very nice until the next time he doesn't give someone the money. How will they explain that.

The young lady's morbid obesity was the primary reason she couldn't kick the ball. That aside, she was offered to choose someone else to kick for her, I guess because girls can't kick. That's makes the show misogynist too....now I'm trolling.

My point before had nothing to do with generosity, skin color or anything other than the FG game should be won on merit. I really don't care if they are green haired, purple skinned trannies, makes no difference, but keep the game honest and that means some people are going to lose. That was the point I was making about DEI, don't move the goal posts for anyone for any reason.

No. The point of the "contest" is to draw eyeballs and charge for commercials. They can do that however they want.

Eve been to a commercial/industrial show where you put your business card in a jar for a "drawing", maybe a golf bag or something. Do you honestly think the card is drawn randomly? Its seems the "winner of the drawing" is turns out to be a great prospect for the business.

She's a girl-zero chance of making jt. Good bull!

What a horrible take. Nobody wants to watch the girl that's never kicked a ball before miss out on her chance to win life changing money. McAfee knows this bit is a giant dud if this girl doesnt even have a chance to win. She was never making that field goal. They might as well have told her if she benched 250lbs once she would win.

Everyone is having fun but some jackass has to claim that she only won because she's black. Good lord.

That was charity, not DEI.
Jesus commands us to be charitable.
You've become so cynical that you can't even allow yourself to enjoy someone else's life changing event.

OP and others like him never get to call lefties "snowflake" again.

What about the several white kids this year who missed the kick and got nothing

---

Who gives a ***** Is it your money?
What about all the white kids he DID give money to?
Pat can do what he wants.

This chick is studying chemical engineering.
It's not like she's a placeholder in a useless degree plan. Maybe Pat had an offscreen conversation with her and found out some information that made him realize how important this money was to her and her family. Maybe he just felt uber generous today. Either way, he's not the government, it's not my tax money, and has zero impact on my life other than giving me the warm fuzzies on a Saturday morning, ergo it's not my business.

The fact that you see that act and immediately go negative is disgusting.

Lot of righteous virtue signaling on this thread for a Saturday morning

Herbstreit had to throw a ball through the uprights to give $300k to a young black female chemical engineering student at Bama because she "had never kicked a ball in her life".

First, she wanted to do a standing kick with no run up. Then with a run up, the ball never gets more than 3 feet off the ground and went about 3 yards.

So they completely changed the game and had Herbstreit throw the ball through the uprights for her and still gave her $300K.

Dude, I am conservative as it comes and that was a fun moment. Everything is not political. Enjoy the day.

Probably one of the worst and most embarrassing takes I've ever seen


I can't stand the left's lunacy - but I'm grateful I don't view the world through this lens constantly

Good grief. I'm as conservative as they come as well and I thought it was a sweet moment and was happy for her because I could tell she wasn't going to make much of a kick because she didn't look very athletic and also "had never kicked in her life". Plus she was so happy and crying hugging him afterwards and it made me happy for her. I thought it was cool of them to do that.

OP you need to reexamine at how you view the world and while a lot of crazy stuff does happen in this world, you need to be able to discern what is really what you are assuming and what is not and enjoy life. Because if you only view it through the negative lens you viewed this in, you'll miss out on a lot of fun in life. And I get it sometimes it's hard to do but don't overthink stuff like this. My two cents. Happy for this girl though and glad Kirk didn't miss his aim on the throw lol.

The kid was a solid kid. Didn't want some else to do it for her even though she knew she was going to miss.
Lots of respect for her.

Some people look for reasons to be offended.

Oh, and for those of you saying charity, why did you assume she's poor? hmmmmm

She did mention student debt.

Being kind and generous use to be conservative ideals

Aggie4Christ09 said:

Is it bc she's black or bc she was really fat and had no chance to make it anyways?

---

Yes.

It's his money and if he wants to us it as a tax write-off in the form of a contest. That's his right.

But I don't think he does the same gesture if that's a white guy making the kick. That's what OP has an issue with. I think.

The whole "contest" is better if the contestant can actually fail.

---

Probably not on a guy in the situation, but several times he does allow the kicker to kick two or three times to get it. And they sometimes increase the money.

It's his money he can do what he wants. And that money may seriously change that girl's life you never know.

When she gets the tax bill she will become an instant conservative. Thanks, Disney!

She didn't. Herbstreet did.

Vitani said:

And she is pursuing a worthwhile degree, not some BS made up major so specific she will never get a job.

She was rewarded for being fat. That's the story.

Exactly. Pretty sure she said she was a senior chemical engineering major.

How is it DEI?

The intent is to give money to a college student. People sign up to be in the pool for possible selection. Her name was chosen. So in your mind the process is DEI because a white personal wasn't chosen?

They have given second chances numerous times to white and non-white students. At Penn State last week, the kid's name that was chosen was an engineering major and had never played sports. They let him chose a guy who was a soccer player kick for him and split the money between them (btw, the kid selected was black, the kid that kicked was white. Was that DEI, half DEI? Other?).

Would this thread have been created if it were a fat complete unathletic white dude?


The question remains, why is someone upset over a good deed? Weird times

Seriously? This isn't a job interview process. GameDay is a privately funded, on-campus party that features bunch of hungover old guys goofing around with college kids while trying to maximize ratings. There is no expectation of or requirement for a meritocratic competition system. If they think that pinch kicking for a nerdy, likeable, overweight female engineer will give people the warm fuzzies and draw a larger audience in the future, then that's their prerogative. Other than you, nobody cares about the integrity of the goofy kick for money game.

Lol they've given white kids 2 and 3 chances constantly since he started doing this. It must be miserable for the OP to go through life constantly searching for things to be offended by.

If that's not a troll, you are a sad person.

Good grief. Some of yall really do just wake up in the morning looking for something to be outraged about.

Who cares what they do....unless you are the broke college kid that gets $0, while other misses get paid.

What about all the other broke college kids who didn't even get picked? Y'all find the weirdest stuff to get worked up about.

Im not worked up. But I can certainly understand why any kid selected to compete would get worked up watching someone miss and get paid....while he got nothing.

Maybe you were never a broke college kid. Then you might not understand.

The rules allow the raffle winner to name someone else to take the kick. Earlier this year, the raffle winner felt he couldn't make it so he allowed a white male to kick for him. He was a soccer player and made it easy.

If the woman today did the same thing with a replacement soccer player, I'm sure OP and others would say DEI.

Why are you viewing this young lady primarily through a racial lens.

Kirk would probably say that of the things you described her as: a young female chemical engineering student that is black, her race is the least important of the attributes you used to describe her.

If you see this is primarily a woke gesture, you should probably think a bit about why her race was the most important thing about her to you.

---

Because some cannot see out of their white colored lenses. Kind of like seeing an Asian woman and saying ching ching Chong Chong before actually meeting her to see if she could be a good person

Maybe a lifetime gym membership instead of money she will die from heart disease in ten years
