Holder Commends Players’ Courage for Speaking Out, Says ‘Adults’ Still in Control

Chuba Hubbard had a lot of support when he took a stand against Mike Gundy last month, but that stand also came with a good chunk of backlash.

Some encouraged Hubbard’s courage to stand for what he believed in, while others argued that Gundy should wear whatever t-shirt he wants and that this outcry shouldn’t have been done so publicly.

“I think it should be commended,” Holder said. “All the players should be commended for having enough courage to speak out.
