Seems like this Iowa football stuff is kind of a collision at the intersection of racism, toxic masculinity and football culture being behind the curve, which makes it difficult to sift through.
One quote that stood out to me from a former black player was "I never felt safe to just be myself the whole time I was at Iowa football" just because A) that is sad and B) that would not have been a realistic expectation for anybody in practically any football program when I was that age.
