In this day and age, they likely had no choice.

Either get rid of the conservatives, or face the wrath of the woke in their university.

Payouts cost less.

College sports should be club level intramural competitions.

Wow. This is disturbing.
Future athletic scholarships will now be based on wokeness instead of ability, I guess

**the murder of George Floyd**

By fentynal.

I have tested the knee on the neck, and at age 67 (and drug free), only found it a bit more difficult to breathe compared to no knee on my neck. We breathe with our diaphram, not our chest. I’m sure that I could have endured it for a half hour, but would probably have needed to visit the chiro.

Then it was proven at the trial, that the knee was not directly on the neck, but on the upper right of Floyd’s left shoulder blade (the police chief admitting it). I haven’t tried that, but it would surely be less of a pain in the neck.

Employees are expected to work with those they disagree with so why should paid athletes be any different? Apparently because they are spoiled college students....

So Liberty U kicks a player off the team for supporting BLM or the like, how would they feel?

Some protests are more equal than others

Because conservatives who should know better won’t stand up to them because too many of them worship them on Saturday afternoon. “Gotta watch muh gladiators.”

“If they’re on the field - yeah. But not on their own tweets.”

Almost yes. The beliefs themselves aren’t or shouldn’t be the issue.

Public displays of any sort that upset the audience and teammates and distract from the sport, whether or not they’re political, aren’t good.

It is a gray area, though

It is much smaller percentage than that. Even if you are utterly pessimistic and imagine that half of young black men were habitual criminals the number would be roughly 1% of the population being responsible for more than 50% of violent crime.

I seem to recall a former police chief of Detroit (or maybe Chicago) saying that the bulk of crime in his city came down to just about 8,000 people, or about 1.2% of the population of the city, and that represents a city where the gang bangers are among the strongest numerically.

The overwhelming majority of their victims are black as well, for 5hey are the millstones hung beneath their neighbors’ wings.

If every last gang banger or every demographic suddenly turned up dead one day (no matter whose precious baby they may have once been) — and obviously all of their neighbors and kin swearing they neither saw nor heard anything and sticking to that story — then the very next day crime rates would collapse towards crime demographics overall (there would be residual effects but these would fade as the gang sub-culture sputtered out).

No longer living in fear and no longer seeing their posterity drawn into shorter lives of violence and crime the former victims of the gangs could begin to build for a better future.

But they will not turn against the gangs, and indeed if anything the gangs have a lot of input into the rhetoric and sub-culture that keeps them in place.

It’s like endlessly voting for Democrat control of a city and expecting better results … not gonna happen.

These coaches should be fired and shunned. There should be no place in our country for those who don’t support the First Amendment.

One of the new members of the SEC. Wonderful.

I knew that Texas is an extremely “woke” school but I wasn’t aware that Oklahoma was a cancer.

Yet another reason to be against allowing them into the SEC.
