The players held up their hands with black bands around their wrists. Maybe it meant they are band of brothers but it looked liked they were saying they are shackled with chains.
Either way it looked ridiculous. Just be thankful you are playing a game . I miss sports the way it used to be.

Sounds like you’re telling athletes to just shut up and dribble. What did they do that offended you so much that you had to make a post about it?
 
So if several guys wanted to hold up a MAGA hat or carry a Bible and hold it up you wouldn’t have a problem? Yeah..I thought so.

Again, what did they do to offend you? You could be telling on yourself without realizing it, but what offended you, sir?

nope. Definitely wouldn’t go to a message board and post my disdain
 
I didn’t see whatever it is OP is talking about but I know I’ve seen several players on Twitter talk about boycotting the NCAA tournament because of the conditions in Indy (let’s not start on the women’s weightlifting pic). Maybe that’s what it was about. Not sure how you could even begin to compare MAGA or the Bible to what athletes are requesting (if this is what this is all about).
 
They weren’t asking for free HBO or free pizza. They were making a social justice statement.
I just wish we could take a break and just enjoy the beauty of sports for what is.

That may be what you want but clearly the players have grievances that they want to air. They are using whatever platform they have to make their case and why shouldn't they. Even if it does make you pine for those halcyon days of yesterday where athletes "knew their place" and were too scared to rock the boat.

And that’s what keeps you up at night? Someone asking for a little equality? Now, if they kneeled, that would’ve been offensive as well, but please proceed.

By “the way it used to be” do you mean “all white”?

I think.... He’s pretty much just frustrated by how college basketball used to be pure and now it’s not.
 
The one and done soap opera bs every year already had enough people frustrated. Then you add these kids being able to make money and POLITICS...it just smells. Use a different platform! When you’re a MAN AND KNOW A DAMN THING ABOUT ANYTHING is how I feel. I’m glad they got their ass whooped 😂
 
It Probally wasn’t even the players idea foreal...sheep remain sheep
 
Waiting for this thread to erupt with MAGA anger over Michigan’s Isaiah Liver’s tee shirt

I’d feel the same way if they did that. College ball is supposed to be an escape....not.a platform to highlight the worlds differences (which there always will be) Hell any ball. Any escape.
 
I have a problem with anything and everything that relates to the SUCKEYES....Glad they got beat and glad that the Tide handed them their ass in football. They are one of 3 teams that I would like to see never win another game of anything.

I am guessing by the way it used to be he meant people werent searching high and low for reasons to be offended. When you are truly oppressed it hits you in the mother f face you know it and it generally has nothing to do with weight rooms for people who are getting a free college education.

They feel empowered because the socialist sheep at ESPN whe fire anyone with an opposing viewpoint like that will cat on Fox News in sat am. He used to crush Steven a and max k on the daily and you could actually see that molly chick married to clown duke hater Jalen rose squirm. You got the impression that she had never heard an opposing viewpoint before and she may not have. That is what we’re heading towards

I think they did it because they’re getting a free college education at a good not great university that most people pay like 40 grand a year for. And oh yeh they have women of all races who want to sleep with them. So if this ain’t oppression I don’t know what is
 
When has it been pure? John Wooden— corrupt. Term student-athlete was a bs term the schools used to avoid paying workers comp when the kids got hurt. Remember all those years when black kids couldn’t play against white kids? Coaches trying to cover up rapes? Maryland wasn’t the only school that did that. There is now so much money flowing thru college sports that you could fill an encyclopedia with corrupt handlers and coaches. For the longest time, if a kid tried to speak up, he/she was shut down. Now with social media, the kids can get their message out. That is not always a good thing, I agree. But it is also not always bad.

Shouldn’t you look into what they want before you dismiss it?

You really think these “kids” are speaking up? lol no
 
I feel bad for them....they only know what they get told . These kids are being used and brainwashed with poilitical differences...KIDS😬

And what do they want? To live lives better than 99 percent of white peoplin history. You do realize that most white people in the history of this planet have lived meal to meal day or day?

I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt for a awhile but I’m begining to wonder if you r obsessed with race and even brain washed. It is beyond horrific what happened in the us slavery and even with Jim Crow But for most white people we have not been kicking back like the duke and duchess of Windsor. This narrative is a total lie it has always been a struggle to put food on the table for 99 percent of the people on this planet
 
It’s almost laughable seeing these “kids” stand for what they’re apparently standing for....attending OSU with a free ride lol. There’s a couple things that Id entertain....but this is 😬

The smell is this: I’m gonna signal my virtue and if anyone disagrees with me I’ll call them racist and then if they don’t curl into the fetal position like jay bilas or rece Davis I’ll start inspecting all the weight rooms to make aure everything copascetic
