Snowflake U: Coastal Carolina Got Bullied Into Deleting a Post With Its Coach and Dance Team at the Beach
Myrtle Beach Online — A photo posted to Coastal Carolina University’s football Instagram account was deleted. The team and university have not provided a reason for the deletion.
CCU football Head Coach Tim Beck, 57, posed shirtless on the beach with the team mascot and the Coastal dance team, who were wearing matching teal bikinis. Coastal Carolina’s football team is currently in Hawaii for the EasyPost Hawai’i Bowl Dec. 23, 2023. Beck did not go into much detail about the photo when asked at CCU’s midweek press conference Dec. 20, 2023, stating the entire trip is being documented.
“It was a very spontaneous event,” he added. “There was no intent to try to generate any particular kind of response one way or the other of how that was. So, I mean, that’s that’s kind of my statement really on it.”
Reactions to the photo were mixed. The post drew support from Beck’s players as offensive lineman Will McDonald replied approvingly and backup quarterback Jarrett Guest, who announced in November he was entering the transfer portal, added that Beck was , “(A) ladies man.” The Chanticleer dance team’s Instagram account also replied to the post, writing, “Glad we ran into you at the beach today. Thanks for the picture!”
The post also received negative responses with some comments calling the photo inappropriate and unprofessional.
I was worried the woke warriors were going to be too busy to right the world's wrongs with Christmas coming up and everything, but thankfully they are still hard at work making sure nobody has any fun ever. A football coach taking a picture with his school's dance team while they're all in Hawaii? Not today, Satan.
I truly can't fathom being upset by this. It's very clearly a post for recruits so they can see, "Hey, you can live in Myrtle Beach all year and then when it's time for the bowl trip, we go to Hawaii. And oh yeah, there are hot girls, too." I would love to find someone who is actually triggered by this picture and have them listen to stories of some of the stuff that happens during big-time college football recruiting visits. They might just melt into the ground.
I guess I can actually understand some of the outrage on this after further examination. After all, the dance team looks like they're being held against their wills. Look how upset they all are.
Disgusting. Tim Beck should be fired.
I'm turning the outrage around on CCU, however, for caving and deleting this. San Jose State -10 just became a Freedom of Speech and Right to Pose With Hot Chicks Whale Play™️. Bet responsibly.
