From a die-hard Arkansas Razorbacks fan.

Pittman attends Fayetteville protest
“I felt like I needed to go. I felt like in my heart, I wanted to go support our football team and support the protests.”

There are no press releases or black boxes on Sam Pittman’s feed. Instead of the tweets, the Arkansas coach joined his players in taking to the streets

“I think you can tweet, you can do a lot of things, but actions are strong. For me, I felt the best way to address the situation was to be a part of something that could be a solution."

Pittman joined several players and assistant coaches at a peaceful protest in the Fayetteville square Tuesday night, then spoke to the media on Wednesday (June 3).

“It was very powerful. I was very honored to be a part of it, and I was glad I was able to go down there along with others on our coaching staff and our football team,” he said.

... it was the kind of protest you like to see. I really think Sam Pittman is a good man, and I also feel like he will get the Razorbacks heading in the right direction. That begins with his relationship with his players, and from what I've read and seen everything is off to a great start.

... at all.

He also publicly ranted a few years ago over the concept of college players getting paid anything, despite being a millionaire himself.
