The NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities in states that are taking steps that the nation's oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights.
The NAACP's campaign calls out Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas and South Carolina as states to boycott, arguing that the athletic programs of those states' flagship universities are especially reliant on Black athletic talent and should protect Black political interests.
The Congressional Black Caucus on Monday sent a letter to the commissioners of the SEC and ACC athletic conferences, as well as NCAA president Charlie Baker, that its members will oppose the SCORE Act, a bill to standardize athletes' contracting rights across the country, unless conference leaders oppose GOP-led redistricting efforts in states that include major conference members.

“... nation’s oldest civil rights group says are restricting Black voting rights.”
NOBODY’S VOTING RIGHTS ARE BEING RESTRICTED ANYWHERE!..............
Maybe we need equity in sports teams.
Yeah, because this really worked well when they boycotted Florida......little did they know they did us all a favor.
Right RB? 😂
Oh, please do. All athletes and fans who are offended, stay home. Those athletes who get paid should forfeit their paychecks if they truly believe in the cause.

I bet the Big Ten sent them a nice check to say that.
What is it called when black people openly advocate for continuing segregation and racism? Would that be black supremacy?
The air was fresher and the beaches were cleaner..............
NAACP not calling for white athletes to boycott by not playing.
The college boys and girls are getting paid so boycott unlikely by them.
I am okay with boycotting college baseball, college track and field, and college golf. 😀
The shortsightedness of this is stunning.
How, exactly?
“The NAACP is calling on Black athletes and fans to boycott the athletic programs of public universities”. Great, more chances for the white athletes.
“the beaches were cleaner”
And safer......AND quieter!
[NOBODY’S VOTING RIGHTS ARE BEING RESTRICTED ANYWHERE!......]
The Democrats are at it again.
It’s their Official Lie of the Week ™️
Declare the NAACP a terrorist organization.
Get them to boycott fast food restaurants. Give everyone else a break.
Sure...those guys are going to give up multi-million dollar careers and contracts over some changes in voting districts. I don’t think they are THAT down for the struggle.
I stop reading when I see “black” capitalized.
