gave up a social life

Unless you rub elbows with movers and shakers, a social life will only retard your success.

I've always enjoyed hanging out with my family, anyway.

I think he was justified in his considerations and his warnings to the players. The players’ positions on the team are NOT A RIGHT. They play at the pleasure of the institution and ‘how’ that institution (embodied by the person who is responsible for the overall reputation, response to alumni and supporter sentiments, etc.) is perceived.

If they want to demonstrate, pontificate and succumb to SM pressure and perceptions then they just need to go on off and do their own thing. Maybe start a Youtube channel or something.

Somewhere out there- there is a MORE DESERVING kid who needs that college seat-—Who WILL do something useful with his life-—and this ‘athlete’ is stealing that kid’s better future.

Someone hail me?

Elimination of the basketball program and cancellation of their sports scholarship should follow.

When one or two of them are handed an NBA check, with they still kneel? ... Hypocrites

[[Apparently, Virtue Grandstanding is more important than their scholorships]]

Exactly. The principle or whatever should state that too “since you all find the act of offensive kneeling to be more important that your college education and scholarships, we will shut the whole program down and ylu can revel in your “virtue signalling victory” all day long if you like, outside of college. Pack yer bags. Sucks to be you kneelers”

Partner, the whole country is with u on this one.

BLM and Antifa are aligned with the Communist movement.

The Burning and the Looting across the Fruited Plain in 2020 have been caused by the these two (2) groups until we start arresting the leaders people doing the damages.

The leadership in this country does not need to be Biden since really lost the election in 2020.

We all know that President Trump won in 2020 since the elections in 2020 were non-verifiable in eight (8) states of the United States of America.

The damage that Antifa and BLM did in 2020 should never happen again in this great country of ours, if they do then they should all go to prison forever.

What’s funny is that if they were worth a damn, they’d be playing someplace else besides Bluefield.

Grade Inflation is real. A C today was an F yesterday.

Yesterday, a C- put a student on academic probation and a D or F was a failing grade for the class. Today, a D- is passing, and a student gets a D- just for showing up but doing no work. I’ve seen it happen.

“No individual’s sincere motives are inherently wrong.”

Oh yes they are.

[Mr. Mojo]

“I did not think a number of our alumni, friends, and donors of the College would view the act of kneeling during the anthem in a positive way,” Olive said in a statement.

To understate the matter.

I prefer just ending the basketball program. It is nothing but another lazy negro subsidy program.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

You nailed it!

[SauronOfMordor]

Better idea, since shame may not be a concept for them: if you kneel, you are off the team, get off the court, put your clothes on, leave.

If there’s not enough players left, the team forfeits.

I think that’s the only thing that will work.

Vacate their scholarships and recruit walk-ons from the student body to play.

Lol, nice meeting you!

Most coaches would pimp their own children for a winning season. Don’t expect them (as a group) to put America ahead of their team.
