Really mixed emotions about the whole thing. Mond is entitled to his opinion. I'm entitled to not GAF about his opinion, BLM or 'social justice'. We all have to make a decision on supporting the team in 2020. In terms of the team, if a kid chooses not to play/practice then show them the door. I would rather field a team of 100% walkons and get drilled every single week.
Here's the way I think of it: if I posted something on social media insulting my customers at work, or did something offensive in the workplace that offended my customers, and those actions caused my company to lose millions of dollars,
I would be fired immediately.
This is no different. Pro sports and the NCAA are offending many of their customers, and causing their employers / funding partners to lose millions. As such, they should be held accountable.
I have freedom of speech, but my job is contingent on not abusing that speech, and using it for benefit of society and my customers. If my speech becomes overall negative, I will (and should) be punished.
