guess “lion tamers” no longer exist . Granted, he’s a bit of a “strange ass” lion tamer ( Siegfried and Roy would be nauseated)..... but a lion tamer nonetheless. Not everything needs to degenerate into to something sinister and hurtful — not everything has a deep and hidden meaning. . —Reasonably certain that simple and straight forward wins the day here ( goofy as it is) —“I’ll take overreaction for a thousand, Alex”
Since it is Feb does this mean I can no longer use a whip on my girlfriend on Valentine's Day?
What an asshole. To be clear I'm talking about Shelton.
No, he's not rightfully upset. He's an idiot, and his act is beyond tired.
This is the kid who spit in a player's face late last year and had to sit out the next game, which was lost by a slim margin and, who knows, may have cost a playoff spot.
Earlier in the season, he was instrumental in turning some pathetic old man's private letter about Jonathan Sutherland's hairstyle into a racial distraction.
Then, last month, he tweeted his delight in "lowering a shoulder" to hit a white person who failed to get out of his way while walking on campus.
Now this blathering nonsense about some guy sitting on the Nittany Lion statue with a whip.
The kid's a bad actor and not worth whatever value-added he brings from an athletic standpoint.

Dude’s major is journalism - he’s simply practicing his craft. When journalism relies on clicks and flashy headlines with little to no real substance you get these kinds of takes.
Being a Nittany Lion fan is so hard... First we were all child molesters now we are all insensitive racist.. We are the worst!! Oh and someone should let Mr Shelton know the only line being "drawn" Is by him. How about finding out who your fellow student is (wouldn't be hard) and asking him what his intent is. Probably a kid that loves cheering for Mr Shelton and doesn't have a racist bone in his body. But then again that wouldn't draw any social media attention... So let's just jump to conclusions instead.
Antonio Shelton should not be on our football team. We have higher standards for behavior. We are Penn State. We aren’t Miami of the 80s. There should be no toleration of 1) spitting in your opponent’s face and 2) falsely making public accusations of racism against a fellow classmate. Shameful behavior and 3) bragging on social media about body checking a “white” classmate who didn’t yield to him on the sidewalk. He’s disgracing his family and our beloved university.
Do we still have higher SAT score requirements than other football programs? Every other sentence in his 6 minute video was “you see what I’m saying?”
It’s also shameful for teammates like Lamont Wade and Micah Parsons to weigh in fanning the flames on twitter.
If these student athletes want to go the way of the NFL by alienating >50% of their supporters, then I will be greatly disappointed.

If you go back far enough, all of our ancestors have been enslaved.
Agree with your thoughts totally. Can we give him directions to the transfer portal?
I once read, “ I’ll never apologize for my ancestors being better killers than yours@.
That’s the gist of this . It’s part of the human condition.
Now with Shelton? The kid’s probably just an Ahole looking for conflict.
It’s a tad greater than fifty( I know you used the greater then sign).
But you’re right, I get annoyed at this over reaction to ridiculous stuff.
Show me this data please.
"2) falsely making public accusations of racism against a fellow classmate. Shameful behavior and 3) bragging on social media about body checking a “white” classmate who didn’t yield to him on the sidewalk."
The kid sitting on the lion looks to be a nerdy renaissance fair kid. The type that plays with light sabers on the quad and is really into fantasy books. Shelton is embarrassing himself.
It’s not up to white people to decide when a whip is racist. You lost that 100 years ago.
to be clear, you find the racist fan’s letter to be ok because exposing it was a distraction to your preferred football team? You’re a racist.
And you’re white. That’s an easy statement to make when you’re white. Not when you’re black and it happened 30 years ago. You are racist, sir. No doubt about it. Racist.
Black people in America were enlslaved in 1990??
If Shelton was a poster here I would have him on "ignore"
Seems he searches for things to complain about, most of which are in his imagination.
He must have too much time on his hands which is hard to believe given the time required in the S&C program and the study time required if he is in a major that will serve him after football. Hope he comes to realize that his college years are precious and uses his time wisely, as it goes by in a blink of an eye.

Ugh, hes insufferable and he can't articulate his argument because I think he knows its unfounded.
How does he know that the person in the video had any racial intent? Does he know the person or his background? Did he make any effort to meet this guy to ask him about it? Why is he prejudging the guy as a racist because he’s white? Why did Mr. Shelton brag about bumping a white student out of the way when he knows nothing about that student or his intentions? Seems like a pattern here of pre-judgement coming from one Mr. Shelton, who somehow thinks he’s the model of decency after spitting in an opposing players face.
Oh good lord.
Make that two of us. Had no idea it was black history month until reading this post. Just keeping it honest.
