Dude. Just stop responding to fans on Twitter. I don't care that you have different political views but its not a good look for an athletic department employee to be calling fans psycho because they disagree with football players kneeling during the national anthem. Just ignore them.

This is why

I quit following him. It's embarrassing for our university.

He needs to stick to making videos.

He just needs to stop going after fans. Block them and move on. He's going to piss off the wrong person.

Like you... I quit following him last year. I like the guy... I love the videos... We don't see eye to eye politically and I do not care to hear his opinions. I'm sure he doesn't want to hear mine either.

I mentioned this on this board and Elite a while back and got blasted that he didn't post political views. He's completely off the rails with his opinion. I respect his opinion, but he's an MSU employee and needs to be told to tone it down on social media.

I don't even have a problem with him posting his views as an MSU employee. I have a huge problem with him going after fans directly.

At this point, there needs to be more than a conversation. The guy is over the top. Either shut it down or go somewhere else. He tweets his rhetoric during games that he is supposed to be working.

I quit following Derek Cody about 6 months ago.... Piss on him and he can take his @ss back to Oklahoma or wherever he is from.

Why not unfollow him? I've never followed him so I have no idea what he's saying and I don't care to find out. Full disclosure is I'm a Libertarian so I think both sides have been embarrassing for years so I likely disagree with him whichever side he's parroting. Ultimately, who cares...

I don't follow him but I follow people who do. Its being talked about.

I like Derek. I liked him when he was at WCBI and I was pissed when he was passed over at MSU the first time while he was making kickass videos at EMCC. I lean libertarian myself- and like I said, I don't care what he tweets, but he needs to cool it with going after fans.

I've never heard of the guy. Is he posting under an official MSU account? If so, he needs to stop. If it's his private account I couldn't care less what he posts or what his views are, but if he's making fans mad (and therefore possibly limiting University income) he needs to be told to stop.

If his views were the opposite of what he has now, would he have been disciplined already?

He is very sure of his opinion. He is an OKC fan and back before Durant left, he went on and on about how Durant loves OKC. About how Durant would never leave because of his connection with the city. He basically had to call out every analyst and writer who said Durant would leave. Then he left for Golden State and Cody got pissed off that people were filling up his mentions with hilarious Durant tweets.

He acts the the same way with politics, so I unfollowed him and haven't looked back. He's not cut out for Twitter.

As big of a Trump hater as he is, it's really ironic...

that they have some common traits. They are both pompous assclowns. They both have thin skin. Neither are as smart as they think they are. They both use Twitter to attack the fans/citizens of the school/country they work for.

100% Agree. He was pretty vocal about his presidential choice during the elections as well.

I unfollowed him like two years ago because he wouldn’t shut up about the dang Thunder. He’s got every right to tweet about and support a pro team. I just cared about it way less than he does and it flooding my timeline was super annoying.

Based on what I’ve read about his political views and tweets, it sounds like I bailed at a good time.

It’s his personal account and his personal opinions, so he has every right. The tricky part is that he has used his personal account from time to time to distribute his work product, so why a lot of our fans follow his personal account. This is kind of like Hugh Freeze situation with the phones in private account, but Derek is a public employee distributing his work at a public institution on that private account. It’s a rabbit hole....

I just think social media only gets you in trouble. Someone in his role needs to be mindful he represents MSU as a whole, and no matter if it’s private, public, whatever, it’s a reflection of MSU. And some agree with him, and some don’t, but people end up mad/pissed. Like we have here. And this goes both ways, not picking sides on if he’s right or not.

Considering the Intense B agrees with most of his political opinions I dont expect much from his office.
