Huskers and BLM

I heard it is possible BLM will be imprinted on Husker helmets. Politics should stay out of college sports.

Yes, I created an account so I could report this news I heard today about BLM being put on helmets. Why?  Because I love the Huskers.  I also loved the.NBA, but can’t stomach watching the games with BLM being plastered all over.  It’s fine to support racial injustice, but that is no at all what BLM is about.  Check out blacklivesmatter.com and you will see it’s about supporting and promoting Marxism.  I won’t be able to stomach supporting the Huskers if they support And promote Marxism.

IMO this is a non-issue. I don't care what's on the players helmets, but even so, supporting something like BLM doesn't really feel like that big of a deal to me.

If politics should be kept out of sports, we should probably have honest conversations about removing the national anthem and any uniforms/badges that draw attention to the American flag, right?

The only reason TV networks started broadcasting the national anthem in the first place was that the U.S. Military threw $ to the NFL and the networks to show the anthem being played before the games on Sundays.  It was done as a marketing ploy to boost recruitment.

Yep. Same with military fly-overs.

I love my country, and I actually like singing the anthem, and I really dig fly-overs. And yet I think we need to demilitarize college sports, especially college football.

We sing the National Anthem before every sporting event. Pro, college, high school, everything. It's really a weird crossover thing to do if you think about it.

 
It's not that big of a deal, but I as well am getting tired of all this crap. I just find it odd that liking America is seen as a bad thing these days. I find that unsettling and foolish. It shows that people are very uneducated and have never traveled outside of the United States. There is no better place in the world - especially people of color. Can it still get better? Yes, but there are no more laws that hold people of color back, and actually there are many in their favor. So now it is more of changing people's minds I guess.

Nobody thinks this. We all just think:

This isn't true, and it ignores the fact that, where there aren't specific laws holding PoC back, there's still racist barriers built into our society that hold them back.
