Jacob Copeland Responds After Mother Storms Off During Signing Day Ceremony

Posted byBy Shamone Nelson | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

The National Signing Day Ceremony held on Wednesday, Feb.7 was filled with excitement and a touch of drama. Star athlete Jacob Copeland ended up being the story of the day for all the wrong reasons. The four-star recruit chose Florida Gators over Tennessee State and the University of Alabama.

His choice created a terribly awkward moment when his visibly upset mother dressed in a Tennessee hat and Alabama sweater stormed off. Not surprisingly, fans had a lot to say.

But Copeland’s mom did return to give him a hug. She held on to her son for a few moments as he cried in her arms.

The young athlete who showed great composure while announcing his decision put it all behind him and came to his mother’s defense calling it a “hilarious” moment.

Later in the evening, Copeland appeared fed up with a tweet that may have insulted his mother. The tweet he responded to has since been deleted, in fact, the entire Twitter account has been deleted, but Copeland kept his response up and let’s just say, it’s epic.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
