Couldn’t they play for some college team in Africa where they’d have no perceived need to kneel? Win-win.

Why stop at suspension ? Throw them off the team permanently. They were warned, they defied, end of subject. Your gone. THAT will get everyone else’s attention and I guarantee no one will kneel again. Students are there to play basketball not use the court for protests abut anything.

I understand the perspective of our players as to why they desire to knee

I don’t. Bunch of brainwashed, ungrateful whiners.

As sure as the sun coming up tomorrow he’ll resign or be fired, probably today. You do not piss off the marxist mob. He either resigns or burning and looting commences.

We all know how that would play out. Not one would leave. Their ‘philosophy’, is group think, which of course is shallow garbage peddled through coercion and accepted by cowards.

Does anyone remember when any news article started with the date and location? In other words the city and state were shown and then the article began. Instead you have to spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out where the stuff takes place.

He informed the team that he is suspending multiple players

He got it half right; they should also be expelled.

When did this even occur??? Basketball season hasn’t even started...

Is Olive warning the players for the upcoming season or is he suspending players because of last season’s actions???

Looking at the map...Bluefield straddles the Virginia/West Virginia line. I’m gonna guess...the town is a heavy Trump supporter in general...not inclined to put up with BLM/Antifa BS anyway.

Who would’ve thought that the continued revenue stream of alumni donations would be more important than the feelings of a few “entitled” athletes?

Yeah, and where’s their fathers? As if that doesn’t matter in forming an adjusted outlook more immune to stupid mob think.

Ditto on the who/what/when/where.

See #25 and #33.

Not saying it’s true about these individuals, but as everyone knows, quite a few blacks don’t know or associate with their fathers...

We have far too many colleges and people unqualified to attend them.
