Ole Miss Football Players Walk out of Practice, Protest Police Brutality in Front of Confederate Statue
On Friday, football players from Ole Miss at the University of Mississippi chose to walk out of their practice in protest of the racist brutality that still kills Black men in America, their action ironically falling on the 65th anniversary of Emmet Till's heinous killing in Mississippi.

"Police Brutality and other injustices occurring across our nation have to end," said the players in a statement about their protest. "Our team stands united to embrace our diversity and promote a culture of peace, equality, and understanding."
Can't wait for government football season to start so kneeling can be avoided they not playing the national anthem.

They are literally chanting "no peace". In what bizarro world does chanting no peace over and over promote peace?

I thought changing the flag was going to fix everything! I guess not.

It's almost like they do not really want to play but still use their FREE scholarship.

If there is a bigger dunce than Lane Kiffin in sports, I am not sure who it is. This ******* is simply pandering to the masses. I hope he fails at Ole Miss, just like he has done at every other stop along his pathetic career.

No justice, no peace is one of the most infuriating chants they have. It is completely meaningless and does zero to identity specific goal or how to achieve it, not to mention a call to some for violence. Just emotional nonsense.

If all of us on Forum 16 walked away from our jobs today would we be heroes? I don't think my employer would see it that way.

They met the night before to plan this with the coach, so it isn't like they just stopped what they were doing and walked out.

And it spurs nothing but an inclination to see the peace restored by a crack-down.

You are so confused.
Football is their cash cow.
Don't upset that.

Quote:
The SEC had $720.6 million in total revenue for a fiscal year ending Aug. 31, 2019, according to a federal tax return that the conference provided Thursday in response to a request from USA TODAY Sports. That resulted in an average of nearly $45.3 million being distributed to the 13 member schools that received full shares. Mississippi did not get a full share because of its football team was banned from postseason play.


In addition to the revenue shares, the schools that participated in 2018-19 football bowl games retained a combined total of nearly $27 million to "offset travel and other related bowl expenses", according to a statement by the conference.

A year ago, the SEC reported just under $660 million in revenue, and per-school distributions that averaged $43.7 million to the 13 schools other than Mississippi that received full shares.

And Mississippi is getting a new state flag thanks to upset college football players.

When any one of them turns down a lucrative contract to play for the NFL in the name of "Social Justice", then and only then will I pay any attention.

Yes, however irony is the first level of intellectual thought.
They cannot grasp it.

I work for $$$$$$.
Most college football players essentially volunteer for this.
Not every single player from starters to practice teams are on full rides.

The government football model is a dinosaur.
