When a handful of USC players formed a Facebook group called "White Nation," it was shrugged off as an inside joke among teammates. When pictures of Anthony Bowman and Domonique Davis flashing cash and liquor bottles on Douglas' Facebook page made the rounds the same week a warrant was issued for Douglas' arrest on credit card fraud, Iowa and other schools promised enhanced vigilance of their players' presence on the Web. When an obscure backup running back at Wake Forest vowed to "blow up campus" on his Facebook page, he was quickly booted from the team; the same fate awaited Texas' Buck Burnette when he posted a racist tagline about newly-elected Barack Obama.

By comparison, I have no idea what might happen to Florida lineman Jim Tartt, but as of Tuesday, he apparently brings us one step closer to an outright ban on Facebook from athletic departments across the country:

I say "apparently" out of excessive caution, in the very unlikely case we're being had here by a very detail-oriented Oklahoma prankster or something (having brought up the remote possibility, I should stress there is zero evidence that is the case). Assuming this is what it looks like, joining a group called "Africa Gives Nothing To The World But AIDS" does not exactly convey the most sophisticated understanding of our increasingly interconnected world from a student nearing a degree in the human sciences. As Spence Hall notes, Tartt –– like teammates Brandon Antwine, Jamaal Deveaux, Cornelius Ingram, Terron Sanders, Brandon Spikes, Jason Watkins and Mon Williams, all of whom might be interested in the sentiment expressed here –– is listed as an anthropology major, and is quite possibly the worst anthropology major who has ever been steered into the discipline. Perhaps he missed the day where they explained the entire point of anthropology as a field of study?
