I never thought I'd type these words but "Good for Jim Harbaugh"
Coach Harbaugh offended the very, very, very delicate feelings of a collection of muslim students in Ann Arbor when he decided to show American Sniper in a private screening to his football team. He also tweeted this:
With their feelings absolutely crushed, the Muslim student leadership team took action and went over his head to the VP Of Student Affairs.
They asked for a private meeting with Coach and he agreed. One of the students sent out this message:
“In light of the American Sniper screening, several students requested a private meeting with football coach Jim Harbaugh in regards to his insensitive tweet,” stated the email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.
“Vice President Royster has met this request and scheduled a meeting in which Coach Jim Harbaugh will be issuing a private apology,” student Lamees Mekkaoui"
Within hours, but the student and the University administration sent these emails:
“I would like to make a correction in my email,” her second email stated. “I made the mistake of assuming that an apology would be issued. However, Coach Jim Harbaugh was simply invited to a private meeting with us in order to talk about the screening of American Sniper and get a dialogue going about how a university leader’s social media can impact campus climate. I take full responsibility for this assumption and I am very sorry for any confusion I may have caused.”
"“This private dialogue was scheduled several weeks ago,” Fitzgerald added. “The student organizer mischaracterized the purpose of the meeting in her email to other students. Our understanding is that the student has sent a clarifying email. There will be no apology [from Harbaugh].”
The icing on the cake? This wonderful quote:
"Muslim students have almost categorically lost respect for Harbaugh after that tweet,” a Muslim student at the University of Michigan told The College Fix. The student asked to remain anonymous."
OH NO! NOT THAT! ANYTHING BUT THAT.
