Dumb.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Kicking FSU fans when they're down. You guys can't catch any breaks.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

Dumb.

why?

 

[NDallasRuss]

I'm not sure the NAACP carries much weight with today's youth. Not nearly as much weight as the NIL $$$ does.

 

[Huey Grey]

Best to avoid Iowa, too.

 

[FAUlty Gator]

why?

Because public schools are trying to offer black kids free educations and their supposed surrogates are telling them to turn it down because a made up profession is being eliminated.

NAACP: Hey don’t go to Florida they hate black people.

Black kid: But…I’m black and they just offered me a free education.

NAACP: Well, they got rid of DEI so there won’t be anymore diversity, equity or inclusion.

Black kid: But…I’m black and they just offered me a free education.

NAACP: Yeah. Totally racist.

Black Kid: Go Noles

But if they can scholarships in non POS states, why choose Florida?

Because listening to dumb liberals who do nothing but exploit them is the opposite of smart.

Florida, like Iowa, has become hostile to anyone but straight white conservatives. Again, why live at a place like that if you can play in Cali instead?

Florida and Iowa are hostile to lazy people. Florida and Iowa want people with ambition and moxie.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! As opposed to every major college athletic department in the country???

Not having DEI doesn’t make a state bad, some people feel like ignoring race completely is the way to go

Why did they choose Florida before the DEI grift began?

Because they won't freeze their arses off, win championships, and not have to say, "Roll Tide". 😎

Also the quote from the guy tells them to take their talents elsewhere.

What about FAMU?

Especially FAMU 🤣🤣

Iowa is anti LGBTQ, anti education, and anti women rights. None of what Reynolds is doing is about work ethic. It's about revenge.

Nothing on a college campus is any of those things

NAACP asks Black student-athletes to reconsider Florida colleges​

The NAACP asked Black student-athletes to reconsider their decisions to attend public colleges and universities in the state of Florida, in response to the University of Florida and other state schools recently eliminating their diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

In a letter sent to NCAA president Charlie Baker and addressed to current and prospective student-athletes Monday, NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson wrote, "This is not about politics. It's about the protection of our community, the progression of our culture, and most of all, it's about your education, and your future."

Last year, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill that prohibits the use of state funds for any DEI programs. As a result, the University of Florida announced on March 1 it had closed the Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminated 13 full-time DEI positions and 15 administrative appointments and halted DEI-focused contracts with outside vendors.

Other in-state schools, such as North Florida and Florida International, have also recently shuttered DEI programs.

NFL Hall of Famer and Florida great Emmitt Smith also spoke out, voicing his disgust at UF's decision and asking minority athletes at UF to "be aware and vocal" about the decision.

In a statement, Johnson said, "Diversity, equity, and inclusion are paramount to ensuring equitable and effective educational outcomes. The value Black and other college athletes bring to large universities is unmatched. If these institutions are unable to completely invest in those athletes, it's time they take their talents elsewhere."

The quote about telling them to go elsewhere was seperated from the first part of the quote so it was in the context of asking athletes to reconsider going somewhere else. He is not in a stand alone sentiment telling anyone to directly go somewhere else.

Then work to get rid of her. The time is here. The Republican Party in the the state of Iowa has peaked. Don’t let this opportunity get away.

 

[OrlandNole]

You guys should maybe listen to what FAU is saying. His takes are usually spot on.

 

[Huey Grey]

Ofc it is. DeSantis has made a concerted effort to attack and even end measures designed to bring about equality and a deeper understanding of race. His Stop Woke Act is a great example of this.

 

[millah_22]

NAACP knows that even if ya finish undefeated you're not going to the CFP.

 

[THE_DEVIL]

This whole issue is one big Trumped up nothingburder.

Yes, they call those people the Klan. New version. Same bullshit.

Huh? So, making a big deal of race is a good thing?

Cardale didn't go to the University of Ohio State to play school

The OP is about college athletes.

NAACP is only interested in racism against blacks, all other forms of racism are golden.

 

[hexumhawk]

DEI is just another in a line of bureaucratic scams. Create positions that promote racism and inflate college costs even more. Same people then complain that college costs and arm and a leg.
