Is this a big thing, or this Nick Saban lapdog Finebaum trying to make it a big thing?

Dabo Swinney Calling Himself 'Osama bin Dabo' is Horrendous

Back in February, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney referred to himself as “Osama bin Dabo.” This obnoxious quote has gone under the radar for months and it is ju

Latter. Darkest day in American history? Quite shortsighted.

It'd be Dabo bin Laden, not Osama bin Dabo. Southerners.

Clearly just a joke

Is this the new saying someone is “like Hitler”

Osama Bin Diaco?

It's not very classy. In rather poor taste actually.

People getting offended about this is pretty ridiculous IMO. Just a corny joke

 

[ConnHuskBask]

"The shameful comparison by Swinney goes far beyond a mistake. It shows an incredible lack of knowledge on a topic that many feel is the darkest day in this country’s history. Through that lens, it’s easy to understand a person who now views Swinney differently.

It’s hard to envision any way the inevitable apology is going to make those bothered by this show even an ounce of forgiveness."

Lmfao. Is this guy serious?

Yes, it's a corny joke that is in incredibly insensitive and in poor taste. Can't say I'm offended by it. But it ain't funny and I can understand how many people might be hurt by the reference as it minimizes mass murder of their loved ones. The husbands, wives, sons, daughters and friends of the victims are still walking around.

It's a joke made by a person with no awareness beyond their own nose.

This sounds like something a snowflake would say.

There’s no sense in which he’s being lighthearted about Bin Ladens actions. He’s simply the most famous person to have been on the run from the government in our lifetimes, which made it an apropos name for him to use. And it was hyperbole. “He was like Hitler” is something people often say wiithout, of course, truly believing the person was equal to hitler’s evil. He is just the archetype of evil, as bin laden seems to be the archetype for being on the lam

He could have saved himself the grief and said he was El Dabo, instead of El Chapo.

Osama Bin Diaco?

This is what I read at first, too, LOL.

 

[whaler11]

I can’t beleive I clicked on a Big Lead article. But after reading that quote - good lord is that a non story.

 

[Vowelguy]

I thought this was terrible ... until I read the story and saw the context. Said 1x, referring to himself as persona non grata in Bama. No big deal.

 

[Fishy]

"Regardless of the context or way he said it, referencing Osama bin Laden in that context is completely inexcusable and upsetting..."

Oh, shut up.

 

[ZooCougar]

It’s actually kind of the perfect analogy and says more about the fu67wits in Alabama. They can’t be happy for him that he successful? Who do they think Bama will hire when Sabin retires?
