A Gator dumpster fire issue.

It's a bad taste in music issue.

I'll leave it there, otherwise this topic spins off into politics.

I'm with you in this. If he was just singing along with the song, then he has bad taste in music. If it's not offensive in the song, it's not offensive to sing along to, and if it wasn't offensive for the "artist" to say, how can it be offensive for anyone else to say?

So if UF's higher rated 4* commit had done this, would they have done the same thing?

Stokes is a 3* QB.

Good point, it may have been just an excuse to dump him.
