Earlier this year, linebacker Eric Striker spoke out strongly against hate speech after a racially-charged video from Oklahoma SAE fraternity chapter emerged showing its members chanting racist remarks on a bus.

Striker posted a NSFW response on Snapchat and his message was clear: this kind of racism can not be tolerated.

Over the next several months, ESPN gathered quotes from various coaches and players around college football on their reaction to race relations within the sport as well as Striker’s comments.

Here’s what a few notables from the SEC said per ESPN:

Ole Miss LB C.J. Johnson: “It sickens me when I see [a Confederate flag] on people’s cars on campus. If you have the Confederate flag on your vehicle, you have a problem. And I don’t care if it’s socially what you believe in or it’s morally what you believe in or you’re just doing it for s—s and giggles. It’s just the fact of what it stands for. It’s almost like you might as well put a tag on the front of your car that says ‘n—–.’ That’s really what it boils down to. You might as well just put a big tag on the front of your car or hang a big flag on the back of your car and just say the N-word.”

Auburn LB Kris Frost: “It’s important for athletes to have a voice. A lot of people just see us out there as tackling dummies. We go out there and play, work out and practice every day, and on Saturdays, they just see a helmet, they don’t see a person under it.”

Florida DE Jonathan Bullard: “Like Striker said, everybody loves you on game day. Everybody loves you after you win. … But behind closed doors, who are you, what are you?”

Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze: “When those issues occur we have to let them know again that there are people that behave poorly, that make bad choices, that are going to be on the wrong side of arguments at every university in America. And it’s wrong, in my opinion, those things at every university, but you’re not escaping this world. “We’re not going to stick our head in the sand and not battle against it and not be on the right side of things. We’ll continue to do that, but it won’t go away.”

Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason: “When you’re talking about African-American athletes, there have been guys who have never stepped outside of talking to black people — period. And that’s the only way they’ve made it through.”

Auburn DB Jonathan Jones: “You’re wary of people’s intentions. If I wasn’t playing football, would they still want to hang around me? That always crosses your mind. You have to deal with that. This is still America, and racism isn’t that far away.”
