I'd be curious to hear what you're told.
Opinion: if Hauck thought Crews was a major racist he'd not have entertained the idea of him being on the team.
So far, I have nothing other what I've read, heard from a couple egriz posters, and heard directly or indirectly from Dane, Rob Stanton, and some Sentinel teammates. Everything was positive. I also heard from a couple Griz defensive players, and while they didn't know specifics, they said they had not been consulted and they thought he should have been allowed to join the Griz. Several of the people said they didn't believe he was racist at all, and have never heard anything like that about him. I don't have anything from UM people, yet.
My conclusion, as a POC who had 2 kids play sports at Sentinel and who lived a block from Sentinel, is that he is not racist, and what he said wasn't intended to be racist either. Just a dumb thing to say, and it got public. The punishment is way worse than the crime, in my view. Also, I don't like non-POC people trying to tell me what racism is.
