GARY BARNETT, ASSCLOWN
"Unacceptable"
Former kicker Katie Hnida, 22, said this week she was raped by a teammate in 2000 after her final season at Colorado. Hnida, one of the first women to ever play college football and now a student at the University of New Mexico, said she does not plan to file charges.
Hoffman said she was shocked by the allegation and urged Hnida to tell police so they can investigate. Barnett told reporters Tuesday that Hnida never told him about a sexual assault and he knew of no evidence to back up her claim.
He said the football program tried to make Hnida comfortable and had provided extra precautions when she told him about a stalker. But he also bluntly criticized Hnida's ability.
"It was obvious Katie was not very good. She was awful," he said. "Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible. OK? There's no other way to say it."
Gary Barnett is an a-hole. There's no other way to put this.
I hate these stories, I absolutely hate them. There's absolutely no reason to hurt a woman, none whatsoever.
CU, fire Barnett ASAP, regardless of whether the allegations are true or not. The program is out of control and the fact that there are even allegations of rape in a college athletics program is just sickening.
I'm sick and tired of seeing women getting hurt just because some men think that they can do whatever the hell they want. I'm sick and fricking tired of it.
In more happier news, pitchers and catchers report tomorrow. Hooray for that.
