Should he have made the video? Nope. But anyone who is serious about kicking him off the team for it is just silly, because he cares about as much about Gator culture as anybody else who plans to go to a university for 1 year.

I agree with much of your post; but focusing on this part--because while I also agree that it's unlikely this clown will be kicked off the team...White *has* to impart some punishment to the player here.

At the end of the day, White's job is to be the face for Florida basketball--and if you have a player undermining that job and drawing negative attention to the program, then consequences need to be had. Make the bastard run wind sprints until he pukes and/or bench him. If a reporter asks him about it (which they should), then he needs to say "I'm aware of the video and have disciplined the player internally." Not that White has much of any credibility with FL fans at this point, but he still needs to try to at least pretend to do his job and this is a pretty clear example of how and when to step in.

There should be no punishment. What should happen is Fleming should do is apologize to the UF fanbase. He will likely have an apology on twitter by tonight.

He caused negative attention to the program, at a minimum. Don't need to shoot the guy in front of the O'Dome, but extra conditioning or some other internal punishment seems appropriate in addition to an apology.

I think what should be concerning is that Fleming actively made a point to poke his finger in the eye of the Gator fanbase. That's what is troubling for me. He didn't just go to a sports bar with UGAy shyt on to watch the game of make a post on twitter to show his approval. NO...this fuqing douche got out on twitter carrying on like any other ball licking Ugay fan to rub it in our faces. If he blow his ACL out I'll feel bad for him, for about 2 seconds.

He can apologize all he wants. The damage is done. He needs to be booed the rest of his sorry career here every time we’re unfortunate enough to have him touch the ball.

Git gud and this kind of crap doesn't happen. That said, any Gator celebrating an UGA win of any kind is no Gator at all. Send him back to Athens imo and I don't even pay attention to BBall really unless we make it to the dance. Then I'll watch us lose in the first round and wonder why I bothered again...

If I was a private employer and had an employee publicly celebrate our biggest competitor winning a contract over us or bringing a product to market first while wearing clothing representing the competitor, then doubling down by taunting my company and employees and threatening to do it to them in person first chance he gets, he would be fired immediately.

this should be no different.

I may have to actually go tomorrow to boo his ass. And I NEVER boo players as a rule. This has to be an exception.

This is an athlete on scholarship from UF playing in front of paying fans and students he is openly mocking, not just cheering for their biggest rival. If he did it in private so be it, it’s annoying but life.

This dumbass has violated a basic tenant of being paid to go to UF (and he is paid). Notice he also mentioned Myron being there with him.

If I was a d-wag booster, I’d give this a$$ an NIL deal. That tells you all you need to know if your rival would sponsor your player.

Dwag Boy needs to be booted off the team YESTERDAY.

For those who don't think this is a big deal, I will show all of you Fuchstards how wrong you are. :nono:

I'm stopping at Burger King to get one of those paper crowns, then will wear it when I start my evening shift at Mickey D's. We'll just see what happens! :mad:

When I get sh*t-canned I'll be back to prove my point and get the last word on you dumbasses, as usual. :grin:

Unless that video was a 100% joke, I think he is now persona non grata on campus. I wouldn't walk alone at night. Or during the day.

This is a day of mourning.

M'fer singing "Who let the dogs out".

It's gotta be a joke ... right?

No, not a joke. He's originally from Athens, GA. I'm not defending him-I say boot the fcvker immediately-just shedding light on his background. UGA wasn't willing to take him as a basketball player, even as a grad transfer, so this punk should show respect & loyalty to UF for having him on our team, and give him the hook now that he's been disrespectful.

Milque White won’t do anything.

It’s on me. If the players loved the school more they wouldn’t love our rivals so much sigh they wouldn’t be banging my wife if I weren’t so ineffectual but my family is well known and I did have that one tourney run eight years ago at Louisiana whatever college. And there’s tons of Gator fans that have no standards in life and will justify just about anything aside from having standards of course ha ha that’s unforgivable but anything else is cool including me and my BS but anyway I digress we’ll get it fixed.

Do me a favor and at least wait until after you make my drive thru order. The line is already long enough and being shorthanded one more person will just make the problem worse.

Just when you think you've seen everything.

I have never heard of an athlete at any school, at any sport, pimping their biggest rival while an active member of the team. He should be booed out of Gainesville.

He could’ve at least waited until after he left campus like Emmitt before pimping another school.

Let Reeves and Kennedy take Flemings’ and Jones’ minutes. We aren’t doing anything this year anyway so might as well get the freshmen some valuable PT
