There has now been more than five current and former members of the Oklahoma State football team on Monday who have rallied around running back Chuba Hubbard’s pledge not to play for coach Mike Gundy until a photo of him wearing a shirt from far-right cable news channel OAN was addressed.
“I will not stand for this,” Hubbard wrote, quote-tweeting a picture of Gundy in the OAN shirt. “This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.”
Out of all the tweets, one caught a lot of attention that accused Gundy of racist behavior against black players.
Wide receiver LC Greenwood, who entered the NCAA transfer portal in January, wrote on Twitter that Gundy would call him a “hood rat” and “thug” and threaten him over his clothing choices.
Former Oklahoma State linebacker Patrick Macon wrote that Gundy would tell him and defensive back Kanion Williams they were in danger of being sent back to the hood.

This would mark the second time in 2020 where a major college football program has been called out for allegedly fostering a racist environment for players. Clemson assistant coach Danny Pearman admitted to using the N-word in a 2017 practice in an incident head coach Dabo Swinney knew about.
Hubbard rushed for 2,094 yards last season and is considered one of the team’s best players.
