The Minnesota football team has announced a boycott of football following the suspension of 10 Gophers after a sexual assault investigation by the school.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, players threatened to boycott the Dec. 27 Holiday Bowl against Washington State in protest of the 10 players being suspended. The team held a players-only meeting and later brought in head coach Tracy Claeys, informing him of their plans. Afterward, they announced the football boycott to reporters.
OK I don’t know anything about this so I don’t have an opinion...(if I was a Democrat I’m sure I would have an opinion with no knowledge about it). What’s the deal here?
This must happen. This feminist crap has ruined Baylor because their regents are a bunch of Pussies!! Push back on this crap or DIE!
The deal is that University of Missouri last year decided they would protest Black Lives Matter unless the head of the University quit.
The BLM crowd pushed the black players to threaten to not play football unless he quit.
The white players backed the black players. The coaches -not wanting to lose their players and jobs - backed the players. The 20 year old punks running the show basically as it is on most college campuses these days.
The university head guy resigned after the alum didn’t want to miss out on football.
Now there’s an accused gang bang rape and 10 players were suspended 3 games. 4 still face expulsion. Their version: “She was drunk and wanted it.”
Now they are suspending those players from the bowl game (maybe fearing Title 9 or something? Obama passed a bunch of new sex assault rules.)
Now the rest of the players for Minnesota are basically playing the same “we won’t play” card.
Here’s what the school needs to do:
PLAY THE GAME AND PARTICIPATE WITH HONOR FOR YOUR SCHOOL OR LOSE YOUR SCHOLARSHIPS AND FREE FOOD AND HOUSING.
Will the school man up?
Or will it be another cave in?
Throughout history mercenaries have been known to revolt. The Prince’s officers lose control...Machiavelli.
Cancel their scholarships.
Permanently.

And, since he supports this - fire the coach. Now.
Agree.
Scholarships are based on participation in athletes. Don’t participate, you lose your scholarship.
Someone needs to man up.
Trump has re-attached the BALLS to America. Hope even the Gopher near Canadians wimpy men wake up and realize who runs the show.
Just like Reagan and the air traffic controllers. Fire the bastards.
Remember that quaint American concept?
The powers that be will cave.
Does the sexual assault claim sound legitimate, or does it sound like some sort of feminist fraud?
Yeah well some chick makes an allegation and the eggheads decide that 10 players are guilty before they’ve had a trial.Sounds like Duke. I’m on the players side
Don't know if it is legit or another case of guys getting railroaded by 0bama’s new title IX rules.
I think the usual reflexive knee jerkers on this forum calling for these kids to have their scholarships revoked or to suit up with pride, need to take a step back and realize these players are standing up against PC bullshit. All 10 were exonerated by law enforcement and no charges filed. Yet the school has seen fit to recommend expulsion for 4 and 1 year suspensions for the rest. Good for the team. This PC stuff has to stop. They were exonerated by law enforcement. Curfews and team rules that may have been broken are one thing, but by all accounts, these players did not break the law or assault the alleged victim.
I hope they do boycott....I hope they all get kicked off the team and loose their scholarships....
between this and the Missouri debacle someone has to stand up to these perfumed fancy pants players and tell who the hell is in charge...
whether they think its right that those players got the boot or not, the rest of the team has been paid to play and they are essentially breaking their contract....
There were no charges filed. Read, research and learn. It works.
she went to the cops right away and called the cops...had a rape kit done....
Don’t know if it is legit or another case of guys getting railroaded by 0bama’s new title IX rules.
Most likely this. Cleared by law enforcement. Campus EEOA (equal opportunity and affirmative action) office with no due process had them suspended.
