Vanderbilt football coach relieved of duties over a Pro-Kanye West Post on Social Media
As you know right now, Kanye West and Kyrie Irving are in the news more for their takes on religion and other topics. Kanye is losing all his sponsorships, and Irving has to follow through a pretty tough protocol if he wants to continue to play.
Freedom of Speech is definitely being attacked in America right now, but a football coach at Vanderbilt is now the next person out.
Dan Jackson, the school’s defensive backs coach, initially posted the comment on his Facebook page — saying in it, “Kanye is two steps ahead of everyone.” He added in the post, “He’s not crazy.”
Jackson quickly apologized, but not before he lost his job. Here is the post that was posted.
Jackson is in his first year with Vandy, after previously coaching at Northern Illinois and South Dakota State.
