Florida State University representatives from the Athletics Program matched in the streets of Tallahassee. BLM representatives were present, along with the chants “No Justice, No Peace.”

My alma mater isn’t the same school I attended all those years ago.

“Know justice? No peace!”
“No justice? Know peace.”

Indeed.

Glad they decided not to commit to winning football games. I guess they’ve embraced losing seasons.

White people need to stop supporting racist athletics like football and basketball at the college and pro level. Paying your own executioner.

Any Republicans out there still watching sports on TV have become this crowd’s enablers.

ALL of us are subjected to at least some forms of discrimination as we go through life. Privileged millionaire professional football players may see it when they are arrested for driving drunk at night. Privileged college football players may also see it when they are arrested for driving drunk at night. Effete white college students may see it when they are arrested for driving drunk at night, too, or they may also see it when they are found walking around at night in places where they are unwelcome. There countless other ways as well.

It’s part of life. What’s not part of life is blaming discrimination for our own failures. We all experience failures, too. The successful among us, regardless of our skin color, change our own behavior to gain a better chance of success. We don’t futilely attempt to change society instead. There are more than enough ways we change our own behavior that actually will work.

So ironic, if Democrats ran the state of Florida when Jameis Winston was arrested... he would have gotten no due process and still be sitting in jail right now. Because #believewomen.

It wasn’t enough for BLM to ruin pro football, they had to ruin college football as well. My position for me personally is this... to support or have anything to do with organizations that pander to the thuggish mob called BLM is to support thuggery and mob rule behavior. It has become a very long list of organizations I’ll have nothing to do with and in fact, it has to be recognized that it won’t be possible to avoid them all.... but I’ll do my best.

When I first began posting on Twit about the NFL, a number of people said “That’s it! I’m just going to watch college ball from now on.”

Except the colleges are going the same way as the pros. They will all be kneeling.

This may be a good thing. If it forces, say 50% of the fans and donors to withdraw, it would severely affect college revenues. It would probably affect endowments too. This may be one of the ways to break the universities is have them go Full BLM.

Ya never go Full BLM.

Let's hope the donors get wind of this and withdraw their money - just as some of them did after Ivanka Trump's speech was canceled:

Wichita State University donors threaten to pull their support after the university's president cancelled Ivanka Trump's graduation speech

It’s beginning to look like if one wishes to participate in college football any longer, either playing or coaching, there is now only one right answer.

Same goes for buying tickets or watching on TV, or taking interest in general.

Life changes, life goes on.
