MANHATTAN, Kan (KSNT) – Controversy has recently surrounded an insensitive tweet made by a K-State student, leading to the university issuing a new plan on Monday to combat racism and bigotry.
But on Wednesday afernoon, Bruce Weber, the head coach of K-State men’s basketball, took to Twitter with a message of support.
I’m proud of our players for truly caring for each other and their fellow students to bring change not only to our campus, but to our country.
Their voices have made a huge difference in starting to help K-State be a more open and welcoming place for our Black students. (1/3) https://t.co/eNdTTTRgmp
In a separate tweet, Weber said that what is happening now is only the start.
But this is only the start.
Throughout our many Zoom sessions, I have only grown to appreciate our players and staff even more with their raw emotion, honesty and openness in discussing issues that impact the Black community. (2/3)
He ended his thread saying, “I went into education to not only help provide opportunities but to help bring about a better world. We all seek to end racism and implement change for all.”
I went into education to not only help provide opportunities but to help bring about a better world. We all seek to end racism and implement change for all.
I’m committed to listening and helping our players make K-State an even more special place.
Jaden McNeil who tweeted the remarks has not responded to multiple requests for comments from KSNT News but has remained active on Twitter. Wednesday he tweeted that his comments were a “joke.”
