Jake Fromm: Controversial comments


Recommended Posts

Will Meade just posted in Twitter (stock/investment guy), something along the lines of Fromm say goodbye to your career. 

 

Apparently this was just posted online by someone who was texting Fromm. Not confirmed if real or not but the timing is terrible.

It's a top trender on twitter right now ...

 

Yeah nobody has really dove into it so I have no idea how it's catching steam, but for Will Meade to randomly tweet this on a trading day, he knows people so it might be bad news.

Ok, I believe this is fake for one reason. Look at the spelling of Jacob(which is his middle name but goes by Jake). It is spelled Jakob. Now I know people can misspell a name, but if he was talking to someone he knew why in the world would it be spelled like that. 

 

Also why would Fromm have a pic like that as his display.

It could be fake or real do 100 reasons. But I don't think spelling somebody's name wrong in your contacts is a sign. I have all sorts of misspellings in my contacts. Ashley vs. Ashleigh. Jeff's, my friend Pat is actually accidentally in as Pam. As far as his picture. He is a kid fresh out of college, not a dude who is yet to be ingrained in the NFL. Looks relatively standard to me. 

 

Hopefully this is fake though.

Then I'm an idiot - I legit don't understand who is talking and what they're saying.

It is part of a thread, and Fromm allegedly says that guns are good (not a problem), that he should be allowed to get suppressors (silencers), and that they should make suppressors expensive enough so that only elite white people could get them. The response is basically "Wtf, you think you're elite? Look at your profile picture."

 

If legit - and I am not saying it is - it's super-problematic for the obvious reasons, but also because Fromm has painted himself as Bible-quoting devout Christian whose hobby is praying. (I'm not making the last part up). https://sportsspectrum.com/sport/football/2019/08/30/georgia-qb-jake-fromm-follows-god-embraces-pressure-as-he-chases-elusive-title/

Thank you.

 

This looks like much ado about nothing.

Not from first hand experience, but pretty sure the move is to put a Pam in as a Pat...you're doing it wrong :)

If he said it, it's a problem, even if he was joking. 

 

If he was saying that fully sarcastically as an example of the outome of systemic racismand income inequality that shouldn't be a problem (and I don't believe it would be a problem). Issue is, it's so easy to not get that context in a text...this is a situation where you would need to see other texts and comments, especially because that is pretty right on in terms of satire that aligns with what truly needs to change systemically.

It sounds like it was a joke.

 

oh no, he said guns are good! Lock him up!

The part about making the silencers expensive so only rich whites could afford them is what will bring him down, if this conversation is actually true.

yeah it'd look stupid even as a joke though I wonder what the rest of the conversation looks like.

 

Again, difference in a joke vs satire. Agree, not a tasteful joke...if it is satire used as a metaphor to show general things through a single example taken to an extreme...and proving a point very clearly that charging so much for supressors that essentially only elite white people are able to get them, and that is largely what is happening with say a college education, where the vaaaast majority of people graduate with student debt...it's a pretty solid satirical sarcastic comment...that said, I have no idea if that's what he was doing.

When asked "Just how racist is he, they hung up." no *****.

 

A simple "That is not a real conversation and was not Jake Fromm" could have gone a long way. But sure, hanging up works to.
