Texas linebacker Juwan Mitchell wanted to feel supported by the Longhorns football community when he joined his teammates protesting police brutality and asked the administration to change the alma mater and rename campus buildings due to their references to racist culture.
Instead, Mitchell received backlash from some fans who considered the requests inappropriate. His opinion of Texas has changed because of that reception.
Now, Mitchell wants to play elsewhere. He wrote in a Twitter post that he considers the reaction to the team's desires indicative of a culture in which supporters only care about on-field success and not the individual wishes of student-athletes.

“so....its not enough that you have the right to protest and to speak out. Everyone else has to LOVE what you say. Otherwise youll take your ball and go home.”
That pretty much sums it up.
So he doesn’t get 100% acceptance to his thoughts, now he doesn’t “feel” safe.
Hate to tell this guy if that’s the case, he is NEVER going to feel safe anywhere.
I thought going to College meant you were able to understand and deal with different ideas and thoughts?, I guess all it really is, is a self congratulatory bubble.
Glad I’m an ignorant redneck who never went to College, don’t know how I would be able to deal with all of the different views and opinions that I have to deal with every day, quitting your job and complaining about not feeling “safe” only works for certain people.
Looks like Juwan is the Dixie Chicks version of a linebacker. Juwan, shut up and and block!
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
All the livelong day.
The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
You cannot get away.
Do not think you can escape them
At night or early in the morn —
The Eyes of Texas are upon you
Til Gabriel blows his horn.
“Looks as if a paper hat and You want fries with that? is in this idiots future’
yeah, but at least he’d get to know what’s in the secret sauce ...
That’s what they learn.
Most of these guys start getting bowed and scraped to at least by early HS, if not middle school.
And they never hear “No.”
Sub 100 IQ
MMMmmmmm. Is that the Alma Mater? Or just a Texas song? I see how it could be interpreted. Should it be?
Then quit already
He is from Middletown, NJ
Texas ain’t what it used to be that’s for sure.
It's working, ditto for college sports (which for all intents and purposes is professional)
Steers and Queers.
“Juwan” Mitchell is all I need to know. . .
Christian reference, makes Muslims feel uncomfortable.
What exactly does the whining puke want?
The Left has ruined EVERYTHING in the past 50 years...EVERYTHING!
It’s about the TEAM, not you.
Dare you to wear a MAGA hat and see what response you get.
“...a culture in which supporters only care about on-field success and not the individual wishes of student-athletes.”
This idiot would be shocked to learn that the bulk of humanity ignores my “individual wishes” too, and — get this — seems to prefer their own.
