Cowboys’ Chuba Hubbard Confronts Oklahoma St. Coach Mike Gundy For Wearing Right-Wing Network ‘OAN’ Shirt

After an image came to light of Oklahoma State University’s head football coach Mike Gundy wearing an OAN t-shirt, Cowboys’ running back Chuba Hubbard said in a Twitter post that he would not be doing anything with the team until change took place. “I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable,” Hubbard said.

OAN is a far-right cable news channel that is frequently cited by President Donald Trump, and is known for publicizing various conspiracy theories, which recently has included being critical of the Black Lives Matter movement. 

Numerous former and current players have since shown support for Hubbard. Later Monday evening, both Hubbard and Gundy posted a video together acknowledging the situation. Gundy said that change was on the way. “In light of today’s tweet with the T-shirt that I was wearing, I met with some players and realize it’s a very sensitive issue with what’s going on in today’s society,” Gundy said. “And so, we had a great meeting. [I was] made aware of some things that players feel like can make our organization, our culture even better than it is here at Oklahoma State. I’m looking forward to making some changes, and it starts at the top with me. And we’ve got good days ahead.”

Hubbard voiced similar sentiments to his head coach. “From now on we’re gonna focus on bringing change, and that’s the most important thing,” he said. Hubbard noted that he was wrong for tweeting about the picture immediately instead of confronting Gundy.

Oklahoma State was scheduled to start voluntary on campus workouts on Monday.
