You didn’t suggest that the team might not want him; you asked me how I knew that the team had said they didn’t want him. So, I threw your comment back at you.

Here’s what you said. You read it again.
“ PR, how do you know it’s not the POC on the team who are in fact saying that this IS a big deal, that they wouldn’t welcome Zach as a member of their locker room?”
Nice edit.
In response to you saying you couldn’t understand how it could blow up a locker room, HERE is what I posted:
You’ll also note the use of the verb “wouldn’t”. At no time was I claiming they are not welcoming him, just that it’s a possibility. As was clearly stated in my post (you know, the part you didn’t copy).

What we do know is that he is not on financial aid.

maybe they are worried about a Krackwhore book, Missoula II: Racism in a college town....
I talked to my one contact close to the Crews family today. He is the one who told me few months ago that Zac would be brought on to the Team quietly. That is no longer the case.
The Team vote was a UNANIMOUS NO! The Kaimin article did not help. Nor did Zac help himself by stating to the Missoulian a couple months ago that he was still a Griz, when that was still not decided.
And, the Cats are talking to him, possibly as a walk-on.

Cortes said that he deactivated his Twitter account on Sunday night, and that he was “pissed” at himself and was “shocked” when they were suddenly retweeted while he was pitching during their 5-1 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Seems the white guys on the team needs a special session with mthoopsfan regarding what is and what isn't racist!
It's a special talent he has....and the rest of us need to learn......social media comments that upset many POC aren't racist, but comments on the basketball skills of a former Lady Griz player who happens to be NA are!

If the team, or some, don't want him, then that's fine. Hopefully, he has learned some things along the way. I assume he will kick ass for another team. Also, thanks for the info, Maroon.

My main point of discussion was what should be done with Crews, if all he had done was make that one bad Venmo comment. Given what seemed to be occurring, I assumed there was more to the story. That is obviously the case (see Maroon's post), and my guess is that there is more. No one said the post didn't have at least tones/questions of racism. Again, my main discussion point was what should be done about it, and who should make the determination (note not white guys like you). Attacking a Native American woman, a year after she's left the program, like you have done, has tones of racism. Especially from a white guy like you. Are you going to the continue to just follow me around making posts, and pointing out typos? A lot of people, including me, think that is pretty funny.
I'll make this point, he isn't the first and he won't be the last. All you have to do is type in "player loses scholarships due to tweets," and you''ll see pages of results from the past 10 years. This is not a problem specific to Missoula and sooner or later kids will have to wise up to realities of living in a digital age.
We aren't perfect, I sure as am not, and it is a really, really tough lesson to learn as an 18 year old kid in high school. Should he lose roster spots or a scholarship for a 1 time tweet? Clearly there is a standard that exists for it and provided some basis for what occurred here. I wish Crews the best in his future endeavors.
