Oklahoma State Football Coach Blasts Reporter After Loss: ‘Don’t Be An A**’

Oklahoma State head football coach Mike Gundy slammed a reporter this week during a press conference after his team lost their bowl game.

The press conference took place Tuesday night after the Cowboy’s 24-17 loss to the Wisconsin Badgers in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.

A reporter asked Gundy, “With the portal now, staff changes happen earlier and earlier in the year … do you anticipate making any changes to your staff between now and the end of the season?”

“Do you think I would tell you if I was making staff changes?” an agitated Gundy responded. “Then why would you ask?”

When the reporter said it was his job to ask, Gundy responded, “Well, I might have to cut you out.”

“Don’t be an ass,” Gundy said. “Really? Those are people’s lives, man. That’s people’s families. Don’t mess with people’s families. Let’s do this the right way … it’s not fair to people’s families, man. I’m not mad about the game, I just don’t like ignorance.”

Back in 2020 during the Black Lives Matter riots, Gundy faced an outrage mob on Twitter that was led by one of his top players who disapproved of a t-shirt that he wore while fishing that featured the name of a conservative publication.

Chuba Hubbard, a running back from Canada, saw a picture of Gundy wearing the shirt on Twitter and responded by writing: “I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.”

The tweet was retweeted tens of thousands of times and quickly generated headlines that Gundy attempted to quell by releasing a video with Hubbard, which didn’t do much.

Gundy later released a video in which he apologized for wearing the t-shirt.

“I had a great meeting with our team today. Our players expressed their feelings as individuals and as team members,” Gundy said. “They helped me see through their eyes how the t-shirt effected their hearts. Once I learned how that network felt about Black Lives Matter, I was disgusted and knew it was completely unacceptable to me.”

“I want to apologize to all members of our team, former players, and their families for the pain and discomfort that has been caused over the last two days,” Gundy continued. “Black lives matter to me, our players matter to me. These meetings with our team have been eye-opening and will result in positive changes for Oklahoma State football. I sincerely hope the Oklahoma State family near and far will accept my humble apology as we move forward.”

Andrew Tate Arrested After Clue In Video To Greta Thunberg Tipped Police Off That He Was In Country: Report

Online personality Andrew Tate was detained Thursday by Romanian law enforcement on suspicion of rape, human trafficking, and organized crime after a clue in a video that he sent to far-left climate activist Greta Thunberg allegedly tipped off officials that he was in the country.

Reuters reported that investigators found six women who had allegedly been sexually exploited by Tate, his brother Tristan Tate, and two other men.

“The four suspects … appear to have created an organized crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost,” prosecutors said. “They would have gained important sums of money.”

The women were then allegedly subjected to “physical violence and mental coercion’ and were ‘sexually exploited by group members by forcing them to perform pornographic demonstrations […] for the purpose of producing and disseminating through social media platforms,” the Daily Mail reported.

Semafor suggested that police were tipped off about Tate’s presence in the country after he sent a video on Twitter to Thunberg that contained pizza boxes from a restaurant inside the country.

Tate tweeted at Thunberg earlier this week about his extensive car collection.

“Hello @GretaThunberg,” Tate said. “I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s. This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

“Yes, please do enlighten me,” Thunberg responded. “Email me at smalld***This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..”

Tate responded in a video trolling Thunberg, which contained the pizza boxes.

A spokesperson for Tate told The Daily Mirror: “We cannot provide any details at the moment regarding alleged reports that they have been detained; however, Andrew and Tristan Tate have the utmost respect for the Romanian authorities and will always assist and help in any way they can.”

Tate faced allegations of human trafficking in Romania in April 2022.

However, Tate claimed the accusations stemmed from a swatting incident where authorities accused him and his brother of obtaining large sums of money with which they bought houses, luxury cars, and cryptocurrencies, according to reports.

“I was not arrested,” Tate said. “What happened is I suffered from a case of swatting. It’s very popular with people who are large on the Internet.”

“[Police] turned up, they investigated, they realized nobody was in the house against their will, there was no crime committed […] we had to go to the police station for 45 minutes for pieces of paper, we filled them in, and we were let go,” Tate added.
