Kind of disagree in the sense that a lot of them want power and to keep power. The division of the people’s and to foster that division is a means for that power.

In a normal year this place would be breaking down and hungry for any news we could get on the spring practice. Or even discussing tonight's game or plotting up expected mstchups for this weekend. Discussing other mstchups for the weekend and what we need to root for to win the west or overall.
I see both sides. I don?t think threads should be locked or people be banned unless they are making some sort of threat that is harmful to others on the board or something completely off the rail, but I do understand this is a sports board and we want threads to remain on topic. If people are getting their feelings hurt though over difference of opinion it?s time to grow up. On another note, I hope they move the regionals and super regionals to a blue state like PA. You all are spoiled and can see state play anytime you want. It would be nice to get to see a state sporting event live without having to drive 13 hours to Starkville from Pittsburgh
Y'all should go follow Walt Harris. The guy has a lot of great views on sports and just life in general. He's really sharp and hits the nail on the head on a lot of issues.
Was not my decision. But that never worked truly either. So many users don't click off the main board even if they had access to the other boards.
And I disagree. This thread would have started on the main board anyways. In the past I.. Would have had to separate out the political parts to a new thread in politics... Because the original message.. Which pertains to msu is news and needed to stay...
People only went to other forums for one thing usually
someone posted someone with clothes missing on a certain forum.
Correct that it would have started on the main board. But there were people who would at least click over to the political board to follow up on their posts, and maybe the conversation continued there rather than popping right back up on the main page. But even when it was accessible, basically zero people that would occasionally come over to the political board when a thread was moved every signed up or posted on sippolitics.
Sports has always been at the forefront of social issues. From the mob being in baseball during prohibition, to Jesse Owens basically giving Hitler the finger in Berlin, Jackie Robinson 42 and the dodgers, to Muhammad Ali and Vietnam, Jim Brown, to the diver that had AIDS in the 80s, to Title IX, to the Ping Pong diplomacy, to the NFL kneeling to protest police brutality, to our players marching against the flag this past summer. Sports people have a platform to effect social change. Leagues set the tone for how competition will take place and where it will take place.
I have zero issues with sports building up the NY teams after 9/11. Although I had initial issues with Kaep kneeling, once I saw what they were kneeling for I support them. We celebrate Robinson, Ali, Jim Brown, and Owens now, but I swear some of you would have been on the wrong side of that situation.
I am 100% in support of the NCAA doing what they need to do for our country to move to a 100% equal society beyond racism and prejudice, as we all should be.
Not at all. What I am saying is just because someone offends you, by what they say, does not mean they are wrong (I used an illustration of Jesus and people that were convinced in their hearts that they were righteous - but they were not) to prove the point. The offending person could be right on target and your position with Christ and your understanding of scripture needs to be adjusted to get in alignment with the totality of scripture (some people like to quote one verse and think it is a universal law when in reality is is meant for a particular situation and not to be universally applied).
It's hard for me to fathom biological men competing against biological women as equality.
