An Illinois State football coach abruptly quit the team Thursday, leaving a note on the door while exiting the facility.

Americans are devoted to sports, especially pro sports. And the pro sports commissioners take advantage of that devotion. Pro sports leagues could put up a huge “Black Lives Matter” logo covering the entire TV screen (where you’d have to look between the bold logo letters to see the on-field action) and fans would still watch every game.

If I have to wait five years for them to return to normal (non-political) sports telecasts, I’ll wait. I’m patient.
My hometown and alma mater. Been a big change around here the last few years with an ISU president and faculty who’ll bend over backwards to appease BLM and Antifa fascists from Chicago. They’ve made a mountain over not even a molehill, resulting in fan support dropping rapidly.
