NAACP Calls for Players and Fans Boycott of SEC Schools

[GatorTheo]

"On Tuesday, the NAACP launched a national campaign encouraging Black athletes and fans to avoid supporting athletic programs at major public universities in states the organization says have weakened Black voting influence following a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on congressional redistricting.

The campaign, called "Out of Bounds," focuses on flagship athletic programs in eight Southern states -- Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas -- and urges recruits, athletes and supporters to apply economic pressure until new congressional maps and voting protections are adopted.

The schools identified by the campaign include Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Clemson, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M."


I'll bet that Big 10 is behind this!

Yeah.....that's not gonna happen. No poor kid is going to pass up the chance to play for a glamorous SEC school with its lucrative NIL package on offer to him just because the NAACP is **** about losing some guaranteed seats in the US House.

If they take a discount we will take them in Pullman

Hmmm.....$3M from Texas or a few thousand dollars and unlimited pizza at Prairie View A&I. I think the NAACP is living in the past, certainly the kids aren't.

[cooljack]

Included FSU, Clemson & UGA but not Georgia Tech. Hmm...

Sounds like a righteous cause. Go west young man

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I say go on and light this fire. See what happens.

I'd be for the deconstruction of the SEC, not that they'd allow something like that to bring them down, unfortunately.

 

[cooljack]

As long as the SEC pays the players they will continue to go to their schools. Money talks in this country louder than words.

Come on man my conference can't even count! The BigTen. They can't be behind this.

GT was the first major university in the deep south to integrate peacefully and without court order. An acknowledgement of a debt of gratitude?
