Athletes across multiple sports at the University of Texas released a statement through social media on Friday requesting a series of changes that would significantly alter some of the traditions on campus as well as build more awareness of black history at the school.
"We aim to hold the athletic department and university to a higher standard by not only asking them to keep their promise of condemning racism on our campus," the statement said, "but to go beyond this by taking action to make Texas more comfortable and inclusive for the black athletes and black community that has so fervently supported this program."
The letter, unsigned but released "on behalf o the UT student-athletes", asks that the following issues be addressed "through the implementation or a plan for implementation at the start of the fall semester."
[Snip]
Most of the requests -- and there are more than the ones listed above -- are necessary and easy enough to implement.

Such a sorry state of affairs - And their hatred is all they live with. All they have grown up.
Sounds like they co-opted “I’ve been workin’ on the railroad”.
The only way that this doesn’t happen is if the Alumni say hell no, otherwise its a done deal.
But the Alumni wont say anything, so kiss your traditions goodbye UT.
The sad thing is I think now it’s just a game to them to see how far they can push things, and people just keep giving into them.
But we will stand up to these NAZIs. You will not.
IT's always about the money. Always.
Then it'll move to 1%, then 2%, etc, etc.
If those are the athletes at Texas....no wonder they don’t win.
NOW a considerable percentage of TEXAS A&M students want to take down the statue of SUL ROSS.
(His statue was also vandalized.)
Lawrence Sullivan “Sul” Ross was a famous TEXAS RANGER, one of the youngest CSA General officers, the 19th Governor of Texas & likely saved (as the President of Texas A&M College,) TAMU from being disestablished forever.
(Many of the well-known institutions & traditions of TAMU were “thought up” by Sul Ross.)
IDIOTS are EVERYWHERE in 2020.

Where is the Latino outrage that they are getting left out?
What about other minorities?
“Replacing “The Eyes of Texas”..”
Denied. Next question.
Maybe they want racist overtones instead.
“What racist undertones?”
Dog whistles only a racebaiter can hear
I think what they don’t see is the precedent they are setting, which will make it ‘necessary’ to replace all their rules, laws, traditions, statues and street names with one favoring Hispanics as soon as Hispanics soon become the majority-minority.
Well, they could rename the James Hogg Auditorium to the David Hogg Auditorium.
LOL
“As a long time devotee of college athletics, I’m at the point of saying that would suit me fine.”
All the great football games have already been played and I would be perfectly happy to see the reruns. Gangsterball doesn’t interest me.
Pretty much what I say about music and movies.
“Replacing “The Eyes of Texas” as the school’s alma mater with “a new song without racist undertones” while lifting the requirement for players to sing the song after games”
What?
How much you want to bet all of these “athletes” are lesbos.
