NCAA votes to allow 'social justice' patches.

Part of the reason I liked college sports so much was it was one of the last respites from political lunacy.
It appears the NCAA is fine with killing that. Depending how this plays out, as much as I like watching most all college sports, it may get me to stop.

UGH. Can't we have anything that doesn't get politicized? So will they go back to allowing players to wear the black eye strips with Bible verses they banned after Tebow left?

I have played and coached sports all my life- but the joy of relationships, goal setting, achievement through hard work, and team/family is being killed by the radical politicization of pro and now college sports. And how utterly ironic for the millionaire game players to complain about inequality in the USA..

As you can tell from my avatar I love me some college sports but I fear that the social justice message might totally infect the NCAA completely at some point as well. I really really hope that I'm wrong but the momentum that the BLM movement has garnered is undeniable. At some point, will college sports look more like the NBA and NFL when it comes to the overall messaging/propoganda that is being dealt to the masses as it pertains to (cough... cough...) "systematic racism" in our country?

Here's one story that recently happened. You look at the influence that one football player from Oklahoma State (Chuba Hubbard-RB whose from Canada!) had to basically call out his coach and basically force him to take the proverbial "bended knee" for only wearing a shirt that showed support for a conservative news network that at least half the country doesn't even know about or have access to on TV.

One positive point for now is that college football players can't publicly kneel even if they wanted to during the national anthem as things stand right now due to the anthem getting played during the pregame pageantry and ceremonies which all happens before the players run out on the field from their lockerooms. At least that's what happens at Auburn home games.

I’m good long as they don’t mess with hunting and fishing.

I might be wrong about this:
But I bet the major programs won't pander to those various special interests.
For example, I don't think Nick Saban, Ed Orgeron, or Kirby will allow that advertising on their uniforms.
At least I hope not.
