NOTRE DAME - After hundreds of protests broke out across the country over the case of Eric Garner, the Notre Dame women's basketball team joined in the effort.

At Saturday's game against Michigan the team wore shirts that read "I Can't Breathe". The phrase comes from the last thing Garner said before he died.

According to our partners at the South Bend Tribune:

A Notre Dame spokesperson said the decision to wear the shirts was driven by the players, but that the coaches and administration supported the move.

“administration supported the move.”

in other words, the people who run notre dame believe people should resist arrest and the cops should just let them go.

I don’t watch women’s basketball because I can’t breath either - I kind of gag.
