Current Iowa football players have now made it clear to fans that they will not tolerate those who don't support their message off of the field on the heels of allegations against strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle. Sophomore defensive back Kaevon Merriweather took to Twitter on Monday to deliver the message that fans who don't support the team's decision to kneel during the national anthem shouldn't bother cheering for them moving forward.

I wonder how much blowback he gets.....hopefully massive...

[outofsalt]

"That’s Iowa State, innit?"

Nope, U of I

[Paul R.]

Yes, but the successful (in football) Universities rake in a ton of money from it.

[bjcoop]

I root for nittany lions and I don’t think PSU or OSU could get away with it. I’d be surprised if they had a statement like that. You folks play hawks at Ohio stadium I see

[Old Yeller]

I guess the KU football team can’t make this kind of threat, because no one goes to their games.

[bjcoop]

Mad hatter Les Miles

[Kudsman]

Maybe we need to defund football instead of cops.

[Old Yeller]

If you want less smiles, hire Les Miles.

” She told me that a few days ago, she got an instagram direct message that it had been “noticed that she had not posted anything supporting the movement”.”

To say that I’m appalled would be a gross understatement.If these idiots think that race relations are going to be better after all of this “protesting” they are wrong.

There goes college football.......

[9422WMR]

Adios football idiots!

[stockpirate]

I may have watched 2 games since Colin took a knee, now I’m not going to bother with the games at all.

At the end of their college careers, the VAST majority of college football players will fail to get recruited by the NFL, and will go out into the world unequipped for any job that does not involve slamming into a group of thugs.

[Osage Orange]

Yes...you are correct.

So the Serfs are going to screw the Royals....

[PapaBear3625]

Today my daughter told me about a similar experience. She graduated medical school last year in a school with a small class. She has always kept a very clean and benign social media presence so it didn’t affect her in the future. She told me that a few days ago, she got an instagram direct message that it had been “noticed that she had not posted anything supporting the movement”.

I very purposefully stay away from social media which require me to post under my real-world name.

My wife is on Facebook, but she only posts family pictures for our relatives.

[Desslok]

Just like comic books, Star Wars, Star Trek and Dr. Who.

I get chastised and badgered for my beliefs. If I demure and don’t give the appropriate rating I’m dogged piled on.

Little s**ts want me to buy their jacked up priced products which are no better than fan-fiction crap.

Nope. I’ve moved on.

[lastchance]

Fine. Alumni take note. Your money is no good here.

[lastchance]

Aww come on. Let him rippppp.

[griswold3]

That’s easy! You suck!
Go. Buckeyes.
And if the team decides to join this nonsense, with Gene Smith has AD,(???) I can find a lot to do on Saturday.

I’m pretty sure that in Jordan-Hare, the teams are in the locker room during the playing of the anthem. They do not come out until after the band marches down to the endzone and forms a huge AU for them to run through. At that point, War Eagle is being played.
