    Tell the players that Louisiana is full of racists and you should be fine.

    Is it the job of the Supreme Court to interpret laws or make laws? No one could honestly agree that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was ever intended to apply to gay or transgendered people. This act could easily be amended by congress to include those groups, but it absolutely was not the meaning 1964 or any year after until the Supreme Court declared words meaningless today. In short, you have identified yourself as believing the ends justify the means. It makes sense now that you approve of extortion or are trying to tell us extortion is bad manners.

    Hey don’t shoot the messenger— Justice Gorsuch is President Trump’s Supreme Court appointee...

    I was ardently anti-Trump and did not vote for President Trump in the last election.... but I will vote for him this time over the anarchy promoting alternative. You should be careful about making assumptions...

    And that is the issue. You think anyone who disagrees with you is a racist. Having a different opinion is not racist.

    That's what I'm saying you are asking of the black students.
    I'm not calling anyone a racist.

    Wow. Sounds like extortion. ;)
    Just posted my opinions.
    I've attacked no one on this thread so don't know why you feel a need to attack me.
    Have a nice evening.

    No, you are telling everyone who disagrees that they are fascist or racist. It's not that simple....its actually a very lazy argument.

    BOSTOCK v. CLAYTON COUNTY, GEORGIA. I read the opinion this morning. It was an interesting analysis of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII in the majority opinion.

    Again, I never said anything about anybody disagreeing with anything.
    Nor did I call anybody a name.

    In the new America dominated by cancel culture, opinions and free speech are no longer free. Pony up or shut up. The donation button is at the bottom. Be careful what you wish for.

    Seriously? You specifically called people who disagree with the players Fascists. You then referred to them as racist. This is the problem. These Hitler, Fascist, Racist comments are thrown out randomly without the slightest bit of thought so often you and other's can't even remember saying them just a few minutes earlier.

    Both times I asked a question.
    I applied that question to no one and called no one a name.
    There was nothing specific about it.
    From the students perspective they are standing up to systemic racism.
    That is the perspective I was speaking to.
    You are perceiving it as you want.
    And I was responding to a post calling the students fascist so don't act like I was the first to throw that word around.

    Didn't seem angry at all to me. However, who seems to be angry here?



    Of course, facts always make liberals angry.

    Our situation along with okie state seems to show how selfish these players are and one reason why we haven't turned the corner. The current big time winning programs for the most part have more cohesive teams, which is a big reason they're better. Obviously, these are young kids, mine included, who are wrongly influenced by the hypocritical liberal media and liberal politicians. They can't see how hypocritical they are with protesting and riots being ok but criticizing everything else that doesn't fit the liberal agenda. Liberal media makes up about 90% of the total so it's almost a given most people are being mislead. And yes, Fox is more fair than the others, and if you disagree then you aren't watching.

    Stop freeloading. Why do liberals always want things for free?

    If they do continue to push for pay they may soon find themselves in a more precarious position to make demands. Would a school take the NFLs position ala Kapernick and say, sorry but we pay you to represent us and we get to call the shots not you? ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYEE WHO HASN'T DONE JACK FOR MY COMPANY

    The running back from Okie State met with Gundy and said this afterward (From ESPN article):

    "Hubbard then said he had gone "about it the wrong way by tweeting" and added that "from now on we're gonna focus on bringing change, and that's the most important thing."

    Some Hornfans posters are still sticking to the Nazi, Fascist, angry old white guys, it's not extortion line, . The Okie State running back is realizing that publicly attacking people is not a very good idea. There are other ways to go about it. Sounds like he's more mature than those who wish to pretend that anything and everything said and done in the name of change is inerrant.

    Tactics, not virtue signaling. Tactics, not destroying people.

    You literally called the people disagreeing fascist in your question. How can you not see that? Again, that's the problem.

    Here's the history I just read.
    Robt. E. Lee used to end his addresses at Washington & Lee University with the words "the eyes of the south are upon you".
    A supposed racist UT president decided to copy that and at the end of his addresses would say "the eyes of Texas are upon you".
    I believe it was The Cowboys group that decided to make fun of the president and wrote the song by putting lyrics to the tune of I've Been Working on the Railroad.
    They would then stage minstrel shows wearing black face and sing this song.
    This was somewhere around 1900.
    Not expressing an opinion here.
    Just giving you the history.

    So, he doesn't like OAN and thinks Gundy should not wear that shirt. If Gundy does not agree to not wear a shirt like that, then there has been no change? This doesn't;t sound like much of an apology.

    Pretty sure every single person who sings that song sings it as a song supporting Longhorns and with its "warnings" directed to opponents in jest....and that is ALL on anyone's mind.
    Ironic those wanting to create change and progress have now...in a typical self-fulfilling prophetic manner... created an aura of racism today in regards to the song that was on virtually no ones radar previously.
    Need proof?? Just look at all the media outlets - including UT outlets themselves - who were unanimously like, "Wait...what?!?...The Eyes of Texas is racist??"
    NOBODY KNOWS
    ....I guess if they were trying to write a racist song and perpetuate racism and immortalize racists they should have done a better job and been more blatant about it.
    UT must have been trying to secretly hide our blatant and rampant racism and succeeded so well no one had a clue!
