The "woke" movement of major sport leagues like the National Football League, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball has filtered down into the collegiate ranks. Given today's insane environment, how could it be otherwise? A case in point is that players from the Pac-12 Conference have issued demands and are threatening to sit out the 2020 season unless they are met.
This was done in a letter to conference commissioner Larry Scott and is said to be backed by hundreds of players from all 12 universities in the Pac-12. A number of the demands are reasonable such as the call for adequate safety protocols in lieu of the Wuhan virus. Think of the hypocrisy of the universities here. Many are keeping students off campus this fall because of the pandemic, yet football players are being asked to show up for practice and play games. Why? Money for the schools.

The liberal filth controlling the NCAA marching in lock step with the communists, know how no football will further cripple small/medium towns across America.
They will not allow football. But the hypocrisy of keeping students “safe” yet allowing football players on campus is ok.
This whole thing is bullshit.
Wow. I guess that's one way to "relax" in the NFL off-season.
They are doing both for what's left of NASCAR.
The only sport I EVER bother to watch is CURLING.
No OVERPAID, overfed, steroid taking assholes, with a serious case of BRAIN MAGGOTS!
No college sports, no scholarship athletes.
No scholarship athletes, no draft days.
No draft days, no pro sports.
No pro sports, no problem.
That’s the final straw - Gold will be my only sport for viewing until such time as they start going nuts...but I somehow doubt it - it’s a sport where it’s generally one-on-one so they rely solely on their own skills.
Fine... sit it out; fewer and fewer American give two sh*ts about you anyway.
