Personally I really could care less if the players put something on the back of their jerseys. It’s not going to change the game. If that’s really enough to make you not watch Clemson than I think you might be a little too invested in politics

For the first time ever, I can clearly see a day when I will no longer be an IPTAY donor.N-I-L
Trevor Lawrence needs to put Amazon or Apple or Google or Pantene or Budweiser or Coca cola or Nike on the back of his jersey and get paid for his name image or likeness.
Walking billboards like golfers.
College sports are headed rapidly in the direction of professional sports and I don't like it.
Don't forget about OMB...orange man bad!Yep, can’t wait for
“Unborn Lives Matter”
“White People Are The Problem”
“God Doesn’t Exist”
“Lucifer is the Way”
“MLK Hated LGBTs”
“Thomas Green Clemson Owned Slaves”
“Hitler Loves Blonds”
“John 3:16”
I meant minority of this thread. Lots were saying they'd give up watching CFB.No, you're actually in the vast majority. See, most people don't care what other people say, they only want everyone to be able to say what they want.
But we are in a war of words. One side gets to go around saying whatever they want, while the other side can't say anything that might offend someone. And who gets to decide if it's offensive, that's right, the vocal minority.
If I say something like all lives matter, or whatever, the minority calls me racist, offensive, and tries to shut me down and ruin my life. But they have absolutely no concept of the fact that things they say or do are offensive to other people. When they offend someone, their reply is ZFG. But when they get offended, they give all the F's that they saved up during the Obama tenure, and unleash unholy hell on everyone.
Fvcking Karens.
Separate your church and state. Thanks.Can't wait to see all of the "black lives matter" patches across the country to support this very important movement...
Ya know, the same BLM people that were burning Bibles in front of a courthouse in Portland last night...smh
“All White People Are The Problem”
Seeing this across twitter.
Gotcha, I misunderstood.I meant minority of this thread. Lots were saying they'd give up watching CFB.
I would if the movement's true source of motivation wasn't to attack Christianity...Separate your church and state. Thanks.
I kid I kid. I'd like to keep this from the round table.
So the NCAA is good with the Confederate flag and swastikas being worn on uniforms.This is from the AP two days ago ...
NCAA to allow players to support causes with uniform patches
By: Associated Press
The NCAA announced Thursday college athletes in all sports will be permitted to wear patches on their uniforms to support social justice issues.
The NCAA's playing rules oversight panel adjusted rules in some sports that do not allow patches to be worn. In some sports, patches on uniforms are not addressed in playing rules.
The NCAA says patches can be worn on either the front or back of the uniform to ''express support and voice their opinions.''
The patch on the front must not exceed 2\\ square inches and must be placed on the front or sleeve of the uniform. Not all team members are required to wear a patch, but team members must wear identical patches.
The NCAA says players will also be permitted to replace the name plates on the backs of uniforms with ''names/words intended to celebrate or memorialize people, events or other causes.''
The NBA is permitting its players to replace the names on the backs of the jerseys with phrases and words intended to support social and racial justice causes.
It sure doesn’t feel like that. I know you can understand that though.Not even close. Like I said. I hope the NCAA doesn't allow this. It's as stupid of an idea as most things they do.
Probably because All Lives Matter people don’t actually believe that, they just don’t want to give any attention or support towards the simple notion that black lives simply matter, not that they’re more important than other lives, just that they matter.I imagine This will be very one sided about what will be allowed. An example is Black Lives Matter will be acceptable but All Lives Matter or something similar most likely will not. They have opened up a can of worms here.
Partner you know I truly believe all lives matter. That’s why I give you all of my baby batter to hold safely in your tummy. You’re still keeping it all safe for me right? Love you babeProbably because All Lives Matter people don’t actually believe that, they just don’t want to give any attention or support towards the simple notion that black lives simply matter, not that they’re more important than other lives, just that they matter.
Dem white folks just get away with everything. BLMThis has been true my entire life. I've seen white people completely challenge and disrespect police in ways I've been taught by my parents never to do, not to mention I would get killed. I've seen white kids get DUIs, and break countless other laws and the police literally just call their parents while black kids in the exact same community, parents making the exact same money, get taken to jail. Yeah I've thought this for years. It's funny to see others feel this way when they've denied it existed for so long. I didn't like it being done to me and I don't like it now. I hope the NCAA doesn't do this but it's just rich watching people get upset when they wouldn't listen to your cries in the past. You can't make this stuff up. People only give a damn when it impacts them. Many don't give a damn about fellow citizens.
The only way this doesn’t become a total FUBAR situation is for team leadership to meet with coaches to select and invest in a single message that the whole team can/will embrace.This is from the AP two days ago ...

Best one I’ve seen yet.FUBAR sums it up nicely for me.
The point is I don't have a problem with companies, people, groups, whatever making political statements. Maybe it's because I fall dead center on the political spectrum.

Welp. This thread went exactly as expected. Complete with a black guy being called a racist for sharing his experience.
This might be the most racist bs i have ever seen on TI. Congrats ahole
Gotcha, I misunderstood.
When I said I would stop watching, that had nothing to do with the patches, but the NIL stuff. I don't like pro sports, I have no desire to watch a bunch of millionaires run around playing a game, who I have no connection with.
I do have a connection to the college athletes that chose to attend the same school I did.

I’m okay with this as long as all views are accepted.
