A few weeks ago, I was talking to a relatively high-level sports executive about the election, which is to say we were discussing something terrible Donald Trump had said or done. We agreed that Trump was likely to lose. “But he could always still win — even Nate Silver says that,” I remarked.

The executive then said something that stunned me, though the more and more I think about it, the more sense it makes. “If Trump wins, or if he refuses to concede, I’m telling you right now: There won’t be any sports for a month,” he said. “Maybe more. These kids just won’t stand for it.”

Who cares about NBA? NFL? Just bring in the replacement players.

I’ve heard of him. I have a concert CD. I love the shots of people in th audience dancing and crying, the music is so moving and beautiful. He has some great vocalists, too.

I really like the video of “Waltzing Matilda.”

It reminds me of the fellow-feeling Americans once had for each other before the leftwads destroyed it.

You’re right; the university won’t back the coach if he says something. But long run that will backfire too. Donors & fans know college football is infested with spoiled children who only know “blame whitey”. And they’re simply not donating anymore & cancelling season tickets. Now what?
My point was if coaches had the value they claim they would speak out..loudly. But they lack the balls. This is ruining college sports. Everybody from the AD down knows it.
