No one wants to see the program in this situation and these guys didn&#8217;t sign up to be in the middle of a controversy or media firestorm. They&#8217;re here to play football and go to school and now they have to answer questions about their head coach doing something morally wrong.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the players who have posted on social media today are keeping their comments strictly about the team. Like Jaron Glover who posted &#8220;2-0&#8221; with a picture of him in the locker room with his teammates. He also reposted Mangham&#8217;s message &#8212; as did Jaren Mangham.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\">2-0\ud83d\udc0d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lBgVY2kOHL\">pic.twitter.com\/lBgVY2kOHL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Jaron\ud83d\ude0e (@JaronGlover13_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JaronGlover13_\/status\/1700901431803355629?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 10, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s great to see the players rallying around each other. This is a horrible situation and they truly don&#8217;t deserve this. They&#8217;re not letting the actions of one person ruin their season or the program. The program is bigger than just Mel Tucker. And it&#8217;s good that they realize that.<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, all they&#8217;re going to have is each other &#8212; well, and the whole MSU community. They&#8217;re going to have to rely on each other and trust one another.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a typical scenario that college athletes go through. This is far out of the ordinary and it wouldn&#8217;t be shocking to see some guys leave the program because of this. But for now, they&#8217;re supporting each other. They&#8217;re treating each other like family. And they should have the support of the entire Michigan State community.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s time to rally around these guys as they rally around each other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have to rally around these players, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6689,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[498,191,189],"class_list":["post-6687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-jaden-mangham","tag-michigan-state-football","tag-michigan-state-spartans"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spartanshadows.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
