NOTRE DAME - After hundreds of protests broke out across the country over the case of Eric Garner, the Notre Dame women's basketball team joined in the effort.

At Saturday's game against Michigan the team wore shirts that read "I Can't Breathe". The phrase comes from the last thing Garner said before he died.

According to our partners at the South Bend Tribune:

A Notre Dame spokesperson said the decision to wear the shirts was driven by the players, but that the coaches and administration supported the move.

“Hands up; Don’t shoot”—no wonder they lose so many basketball games.

If Garner couldn’t breathe, how could he talk? Also, how were the cops supposed to know he had health issues? He looked like a big, healthy guy. Garner died at the hospital. Where are the demands that the doctors be fired or the hospital sued? It makes as much sense as blaming the cops.

Ever watched the show, Cops? How many people yell and scream that they can’t breathe or that the cops are hurting them in an attempt to get the cops to let go?

“Id rather take a course called “Smack your head against a brick wall”

I think that’s the course you take first. It renders you stupid enough to believe the rest.

Probably because they still haven’t caught their breath from UCONN running them to shreds last weekend.

The coach had better discipline that team. But she won’t, she’s gone rouge after last years comments.
