Racism rears its ugly head

[oldngray]

Why would it get violent that would be the protestors own doing.



All I'm saying is this is very bad for the future of college athletics. What if the 4 playoff teams this year decide to protest until they are paid to play the game?

Those football players are there on scholarships. If they refuse to play then make them pay for their own tuition.

That makes absolutely no sense especially coming from a union worker.

what he said. Once they accept that scholarship they agree to represent that school positively. If they then discover they don't like the head of that school then void the scholarship and go elsewhere.

It absolutely makes sense. Especially for a union worker. Those players had a contract where they got free tuition for playing. If they don't play they break the contract. Same thing would happen to union workers. You have rights but also responsibilities.

I agree but do that and you might as disband the football team because no recruit is gonna come there.

It's not as if they were winning anyway.

They are not union employee's following the leadership of an organized union.

So much for free speech and freedom to assemble. You guys sound like a bunch of commies.

Lmao. I won't be paid for the time I'm on strike.

 

[newfie]

anyway this is precedent setting . The witch hunt is now on. If some employee anywhere utters a racial slur then the president of that organization will now either be expected to run a gestapo like inquisition or risk losing his job.

Northwestern tried that. Courts shot them down.

They absolutely had the right to speak and assemble. Nobody said otherwise. Living up to their contractual obligations to play is another matter.

how do you figure. This event is killing free speech.

If you're for free speech wasn't the student that yelled the N word free to say what he wanted?




Sure he was. He was also free to face the consequences.

Free speech is only allowed if first approved by the PC police.

you still need the structure of the union organized by the members?

The students who committed acts of racism should face the consequences. The university did not endorse or condone those actions but are getting blamed for them.

Since one of the acts was a swastika why weren't the Jewish students also protesting? That would seem to target them more than blacks.

He was free to say it but he's also free to suffer the consequences.

They were promptly kicked off campus.


Is a president supposed to control 70k plus students?

might have been a hindu religious symbol there are many versions of the "swastika" symbol not all represent the Nazi hate symbol
