Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard expressed unhappiness via Twitter after his head coach was photographed wearing a T-shirt bearing the logo of a right-wing news network that supports President Donald Trump.
Hubbard, who led the nation in rushing in 2019, threatened to sit out games after a photo of coach Mike Gundy wearing an OAN T-shirt surfaced on social media. OAN is known for sharing content that has been promoted by President Trump.
I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE. https://t.co/psxPn4Khoq

Hubbard ran for 2,094 yards last season and is regarded as a serious Heisman Trophy contender for 2020. Him sitting out games would be a huge blow to the Cowboys.
This has not been a smooth offseason for Gundy, who issued an apology in April over some coronavirus comments. Gundy is entering his 16th season as Oklahoma State’s head coach. He is 129-64 with a .668 winning percentage during his coaching career with the Cowboys.
