This unconscionable that universities are caving in and bending the knee to Trump. He’s fortunate that as a nation we are inclusive enough to let him be here and hold the office he does given his character and behavior. I agree, no non-white athlete should agree to play here! I’m 79 yr white guy!
They are Kids making choices based on their personal futures. We can't put this on them to carry that weight. The People Voted for the Orange Clown it is on us to correct that mistake.
If the NCAA player went on strike I bet things would change very quickly as protesting would explode. Hit folks in their sports and see how many people get up off the couch.
Anything you can do will help, but the Heritage Foundations answer will be to have the administration cover the loss to compliant schools with taxpayer money or national debt. Any protests will be ignored.
The NAACP needs to mobilize a D1 Athletes boycott. This is the moment right now. This is Selma writ large. NAACP and they need to get OBAMA and MICHELE and HER COACH BROTHER and organize this.
I totally agree. I was in conversation with someone that said something along the lines of not liking the Dems cancel culture. I asked for an example and she fumbled. I wasn’t trying to embarrass her, I just didn’t know what she was talking about. She couldn’t name an example.
I’ve been doing this but I plan to be more intentional going forward and do what I wish reporters would do, ask people to define their terms, especially if it’s a common faux entertainment talking point, ask questions and push back on things that are false.
Poor young blacks are conditioned to eat white left overs. And if you don’t do as the white man says, you ain’t throwing no ball and you ain’t buying your mama a house. And that’s how whites treat blacks…in any endeavor!
I’ve been saying for some time that the only hope of the “New South” making a comeback is black athletes refusing to play for red state schools. But I always thought Michigan & the West Coast would be one of the beneficiaries. Enforced uniformity, unfairness, & exclusion are now everywhere.
All major public universities will fold. The money that Stinky can cut to them is too much.
But that's the thing with tyrants... if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. I'd say I'm disappointed in U of M, but it's not like I was expecting much from cowards.
The saddest part in all of this is that there are going to be far too many people that only value those students for their athletic ability and not their heart, generosity, mind, hopes, dreams, loves, friends, family, or anything else about them and that idea is the core of the problem.

And many of the schools offering the best money are state schools that are likely to bow to pressure to drop DEI, at least formally
Have you? I haven't. Cricketttttttttts.
