every student should boycott every University that does this.. Take a year off.. go see the world.. or spend it Protesting... the injustices being heaped upon us all
Gonna be hard on the athletes because their scholarships and possibility of going pro depend on playing. Great to contemplate from the bleachers but it's a cruel ask.
Yep, a school that has integrity (and probably a large enough endowment fund that enables financial independence) is always preferable. My alma mater just got a huge amount of federal funding frozen. I'm watching to see if they kneel or not.
What limited power POC have, we need to use. Hit these universities in the pocket and they’ll fold up like cards. There should be a nationwide movement toward HBCUs.
This sounds great in theory, but we probably shouldn’t be expecting 18-22 year olds to shoulder the burden of remedying institutional cowardice and racism.
Especially when many of them are just trying to continue their playing careers. Fans should protest the games and sponsors.
It’s not all on them but if they’re old enough to vote than they’re old enough to be involved. Every voter needs to fight this fascist gov’t especially young ppl as this will be their 🌎 & their kid’s future 🌎 & living under a fascist regime is hell on earth. Young must fight like we did in the 60s.
I’ve been hoping Black college athletes would shift away from PWIs and into HBCUs for over a decade as a sign of protest and community uplift. Black sports journalists have posed this option for years.
It’s not happening. I’d love to see it, but I wouldn’t bank on it.
Unfortunately schools aren’t equally interchangeable, and most players won’t give up the chance to play at a major D1 program to go to a smaller school. That smaller school likely also means less money, less exposure, and less development for those trying to play pro. And roster spots are limited.
Everyone can't be Colin Kaepernick. Still the best can pick their school and hopefully some of them will use that info in their decision making and let schools know they care about it.
