Nevermind - I see him now lol - I thought he was being tongue in cheek with that statement there, but hard to say Edited February 16 by flyingcement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my perspective I thought that Ollie was being tongue in cheek. However, as you can clearly see, I had no idea who he was before this show, I don't watch the show regularly, so its just based on how I would interpret the actions of a stranger. It sounds like you watch more often and have a longer history of this feeling towards him, and I wouldn't be in a position to comment on anything other than this episode.

Not exactly quick, but covering “the Willie trials” are kinda what put Stalemates on the map. Looks like Day 5 is when CP took the stand, IIRC he didn’t really come off so badly. The whole trial was on YouTube thanks to Covid, and if you really have a lot of time a Penn State forum poster /lawyer uploaded them to YouTube (search Scottpilutik), but Stalemates did a good job recapping 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for it now - hold on edit: here it is https://www.rokfin.com/post/4739/Why-I-Left-Flo I watched it. If he's talking about what I think he's talking about then he's essentially saying he posted a fairly cryptic tweet about decades of abuse in Ohio, much of which involved wrestlers, the school called flo, they bitched him out, he found that morally wrong so he left. From that explanation I think he did the right thing. And I don't doubt that happened because a common criticism of FRL is tap dancing and beating around the bush on rumors or serious topics. They're too scared to do any journalism so it's all rankings, picks, and banter. Which is fine but it's not news.

forkemaz Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 After watching some of that stalemates it appears the tweet may have been over something way more innocuous than the Ohio sex abuse scandal, which makes the whole thing more pathetic. But I haven't heard anyone spell out what Willie's tweet was saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the tweet was really why he left, but it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back. But yeah, pretty sure that particular tweet was pretty much just saying that Ohio State wasn’t wrestling well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like his recent video, "What's wrong with Iowa". Flo probably would have censored him on this as well.

There is good and bad things about flo but this makes them look like stupid bullies who are all about brand. It also makes the coaches look like giant cry babies. Gross stuff.
