So glad I graduated Clemson almost ten years ago instead of today! The problem with the protest is that protests have end goals such as " we will kneel until the NC bathroom law is repealed not" we will kneel until we agree there is no more oppression to people of color". Very broad statement. So tired of this story and am pissed at whoever asked him these questions. They knew anything he said would be twisted out of context

I don't know who is on the CSG, but I am ashamed of them and their politicizing of this matter with gross misrepresentations of the truth. Their opinions are no more important or right than Dabo's. They are wrong in my opinion and Dabo owes no one an apology. I dare say the majority of Americans agree with Dabo. We cannot and should not hide our opinions or feelings because some easily offended, politically minded people choose to use and spin every uttered word for their own personal agenda.
Most agree people in America have the right to protest. We don't all agree on how, when and where. But, agree to disagree and don't criticize people who are asked to comment on this dissent and ask them to apologize because their opinion is not your opinion.
I am a Clemson graduate and the GSG's letter is an abomination and misrepresentation of what was intended and said. The GSC owes Dabo and the truth an apology.
How can loyal Clemson people, graduates and supporters to fund raisers, loyalty funds and IPTAY, like myself, go about expressing our dissatisfaction with the GSG and to its members?

Their email and phone number are at the bottom of the letter. If they desire free speech, please let them know how you feel.

@CSG There's a lot of people angry at Kaepernick too...Dabo doesn't need to apologize until Kaepernick has to. Till then, he has a right to express his opinion like Kaepernick does...part of the same Amendment, the same rights to an opinion and free speech.

Dabo "explicitly states" his OPINION on one's expression of dissent (which is kneeling during the national anthem).......and stating his OPINION(there's that word again) is considered "haphazard" and can be construed as "un-American"
now he needs to apologize for expressing his OPINION b/c it doesn't align and isn't consistent with some people's views who are really ticked off now?????
WOW

What they're asking Dabo to do is "un-American."

all these posters on the board who most likely didn't go to clemson complaining.

To you people who say they don't speak for you, they do. They were elected for the CSG by the students so they do speak for you.

Do you realize the total number of votes in the graduate student government election? If you can round up a couple of dozen friends, you can be elected.

So they want an apology because he used his second amendment right to express how he felt about Kap's second amendment right, because his opinion doesn't line up with theirs? Hypocrisy at its finest.

What a bunch of whiny, entitled, sensitive, crybabies. An entire generation of kids who were told they were the best at everything and can't take an opposing opinion. Well I'm offended that you're offended and demand an apology for getting me so emotional. Grow up. Welcome to real life where everybody doesn't get a trophy and everybody doesn't agree with you. Somebody should have whooped your a$$ instead of putting you in time out.

to call home. I guess they want some sort of an apology? Well it ain't happening. Nothing will ever be good enough anymore for ANYONE. Maybe they should try having to go to USuCk like I had to and they would see what a valuable asset Clemson University is to their lives and CDS is to this discussion which poses not real winner.

Wait--so Dabo can't express his own opinion freely after being politely asked to do so but Kaepernick can? How absurd. Disagree? Fine, write about that. But asking for an apology? Are you really that obtuse?

I guess they, like so many others, believe that dissent only belongs to those who share their opinions.
Guess they skipped the classes which dealt with irony as a subject matter.

Dabo was asked a question because he is widely respected. No one asked all these other bozos because they are not. Only they care what they think.

It is cowardly of them. Put the names of everyone from GSG if you're going to speak for all of them. They lack accountability and likely have been part of this neo liberal indoctrination going on across campuses all over. Feelings should always be good even if it flies in the face of genuine benevolent principles and values.
These folks are the definition of a kangaroo court.
