NCAA will permit athletes to wear uniform patches that promote social justice causes

The NCAA will permit college athletes to wear patches on their uniforms that promote and support social justice causes.

As approved by the NCAA’s Playing Rules Oversight Panel, athletes in all sports will be permitted to “express support and voice their opinions” in two places on their uniforms: one on the front or sleeve of the uniform or on the nameplate on the back of the uniform — the spot typically reserved for the athlete’s last name. The patches can also be for “commemorative and memorial purposes,” not solely for social issues. Predictably, the messages will require approval by “the school or conference.”

Sports now to be used as a means to enforce ideological purity.

Straight out of totalitarianism 101.

Our beloved nation is being replaced with something evil.

Screw you, ncaa. Hopefully, your money cow will vanish. Your PC-wimpiness is very unbecoming, you pathetic losers.

Alright, so unless I missed something, I’m down to golf as being something I’ll be willing to watch on TV...

Kind of goes against the meaning of “uniform”.

This won’t really be voluntary. When 80 percent of the team shows up with “BLM” or other hard-left anti-American slogans, the message will be clear to the remaining athletes. Get with the program or face ostracizing / cancellation. The online woke mobs will eagerly help enforce compliance.

In view of the NCAA’s policy of forcing female athletes to compete against males (who pretend to be women), how about “XX”, “Female”, or “Real Woman” patches on the jerseys of actual female athletes?

Do you mean ones that reflect their teams that state “No class?”

If they allow such then why not advertising? Where do they draw the line?

I’ll take one peak at my team and if there is a hint of politics I’m done with them. I used to watch football to escape. It should be pure entertainment. I don’t find it
entertaining to have Marxist ideas shoved down my throat.

No one should be wearing anything political or otherwise. Keep it ‘sports’ only.

You know that ain’t happening. We’re talking colleges and universities here. The absolute sewer of leftist thought in America.

My school, Arizona, has such a bad coach I’m trying to work up enthusiasm to watch them.

Can they wear the Christian flag emblem if they want? That’s what I thought.

It is simply amazing that the NCAA turns a blind eye to the cheating going on in college basketball, and when it catches certain schools just gives them a slap on the wrist (UNC no work classes for 18+ years) or mild reprimand, or if there are allegations about cheating (Duke recruitment of Zion Williamson) at certain schools, refuses to investigate. But they are all over this politicization of sports through the social justice warrior racialist incitement programs.

If they allow advertising for sjw causes, they need to allow advertising for conservative causes.
