Too bad it wasn’t D battery night at the stadium like in the Bronx.
And herein lies the problem. Exactly where are the grown-ups in charge on today's college campuses?
HRC is not going to win North Carolina.
And if no one in the NFL did it, it wouldn't occur to any of these kids to do it, either.
Monkey see - monkey do.
The crowd, if they had any guts, could have shown their disapproval of the band’s protest by simply turning their backs on them. Or better still, leave the game and ask for their money back.
Solution: Remove the offending band members. They have the right to free speech but they don’t have the right to be in the band if they are going to behave in offensive ways. Let them demonstrate outside the stadium.
In my opinion, the only way to protest these protests in via the wallet.
Let me guess: Those taking the knee instead of playing the national anthem were blacks and liberals. How close was I?
Why do I get the feeling a day is coming where that band wished that all the crowd did in reaction was boo.
It might be REALLY interesting when they play Navy Oct.13th (Thursday) in Greenville. I predict SOMEBODY is going to get beaten like a rented mule.
THEY CAN KISS MY BRASS!................
Let me guess, a high proportion of,... Amish?
“Dis-band”.
ECU has grown in recent decades, in student body as well as in academic reputation, but it’s still a 2nd tier school with a large number of first-generation college students. Neither they nor their parents will appreciate this at all. The same is true of ECU alumni. They’re creating a big problem for themselves and their future funding, merely for jumping on a social issue bandwagon. If a band member won’t perform the national anthem, they shouldn’t take the field. Sit it out, out of the public eye. That’s what it’s all about anyway.
A real solution to this kinda crap is for alums to stop donating. Period. Let the jerks and their professors and administrators find other schools, other jobs. But we know they would likely just go on welfare if that happened. Losers, all of them.
They do listen to the alumni. You don’t even have to be a current donor, all you have to do is remind them that the school in question will no longer receive a bequest in your will. You do, however, have to communicate the fact loudly and to the right people - most universities have a department of alumni affairs, which is a good place to start.
Booing doesn’t cut it folks. If you are truly bothered by this disrepect then do not show up at the next home game. College Football is a money racket just like the Pros so you don’t show up the powers that be notice. You boo, they could not care less.
These individuals did get their message out. Now everyone knows what cretins they are. I say put their pictures on every social media forum available and when their perspective employer looks for them, their character will be exposed.
The first amendment protects us from government interference in expressive freedoms. It says nothing about private institution reaction.
The NFL and school football games and associated drama are not representing federal government entities. They are in fact, forms of entertainment. The fans pay their way and the fans should whack these a$$holes with every sanction they can muster.
The snowflakes are certainly free to be jerks on their own time.
