It is pretty clear by the statments that they were based on racial discrimination.

Do you believe the title of this thread is any better than the statements Ford made?
The title itself affected me negatively because, as DSTCHAOS mentioned, the phrase 'race card' is ridiculous. But I feel personally about the situation because it involves my alma mater.
Granted, I will admit that I didn't follow Gamecock football as extensively as others do while I was a student, but I still stand firm in my belief that this game is going to draw a large amount of spectators.
I'm tired of grown people playing the "I am right, you are wrong" game like children. What is so hard about listening to what other people have to say, trying to gain an understanding of why they feel the way they feel, and discussing it like adults?
Why not try to understand WHY Ford feels SC State should be allotted more tickets? After reading some of these posts, I can see why some people believe that State shouldn't get more tickets. I UNDERSTAND the counter-argument, and I respect their stance. It doesn't really change my stance, but I can respect what others are saying.
Why can't some of you do the same thing? What's the problem?
Step out of your bubbles and realize that there's a whole world out there filled with people who have opinions that are diverse and might not be the same as yours.
