Same here

I was so looking forward to the OSU game Saturday. If I see just one black helmet, I’ll turn it off.

Oh well. That takes college football off my list.

That shouldn't, at least not by itself. If one team does it unilaterally, it is not a reflection on college football as a whole. You can simply root for Wisconsin to defeat the Illinois BLM. There might be a similar result on November 3.

“Gee, when I was in Jr. High, my football team’s helmets were solid white. I had no idea what were exploited to promote.”

Illinois helmets will still be white.

“Put a red dot on it for target clarity.”

The black I provides sufficient contrast.

Reread the headline.

pull the plug on college sports.

Great idea, but never happen. Southerners would invoke the 'freedom of religion' clause of the First Amendment.

Penn State better not do anything even remotely supporting BLM or I’m sitting this season out.

Wow, normally I’d root for any team that’s playing Wisconsin - except maybe Iowa.

Not tonight. I hope the Badgers pummel Illinois.

Maybe they’ll learn that college football is the breeding ground for all the anti-American crap coming out of the NFL and find something else to enjoy.

I misread on the skim. Thanks for forcing me to read more closely. I thought it was going to look like one side of the Steelers helmets.

"So college ball follows the negro felon league in going down the drain.

Virtually ALL organizations in the United States (corporations, academia & their sports teams, mainstream fake-news media, Hollywood, pro sports leagues, federal (deep state)/state/local governments, social media networks, etc.) are totally in Basement-Biden's camp.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I expect it. It's TDS; they do NOT want Trump reelected.

Probably some loud-mouthed, woefully uneducated players on U of Illinois' football team gave the whole team & coaching staff an ultimatum - we DEMAND Black decals be worn by ALL players in support of the peacefully violent Marxist Black Lives Matter wild thugs! Do you agree? Team/Coaching Staff: Um, sure, of course! If you have any other violent Marxist Black Lives Matter rioter SJW causes you'd like us to promote on behalf of the U. of Illinois, we'll be MORE than happy to agree to whatever you demand!

That's the way it works in this 2020 election year. In 8 years of the Obama Administration & 3 1/4 years of the Trump Administration, virtually none of that stuff was happening. But once February rolled in (and the Dems settled on their campaign strategy) ... it was ON! Impeach Trump during Wu-Flu invasion! Ramp up the nationwide violent BLM thug riots! Boycott the ACB nomination! Hide Biden in his basement! The Dems ain't playin' games. Even Pelosi is acting kickarse, shouting down any reporter who dares ask a question she dislikes. AOC hates Pelosi and vice versa. Regardless, all Dems are happy to join each other against Trump. Biden is inaugurated and resigns, Kamala replaces him, then Bernie, Soros, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, etc. grab total control of the U.S. government. Court packing. Senate/House packing, filibuster elimination, etc. "You know, you know, you know the thing."

The good outcome is the waste of resources known as college sports may finally get reduced or removed.

Colleges and universities do NOT need sports to educate people. Of course these days, they also seem to try to do it without facts and knowledge as well.

Yep! Hoping against hope that the BLM won’t start in E. Lansing
