    I think it's all stupid, but it's their right. OM is close to going full blown MO. And that Klan rally is garbage too, but it's their right I guess.

    Don't have Klan rally's on your campus the same day you have basketball games and you lessen your chances of players protesting it. Better yet don't have Klan rally's on your campus.

    No. At the risk of blown out idiot fans. I would love to see the melts from grown men if we were to change to Nike.

    Also Nike is very well run. They played all of this perfectly. The idiots who called for boycotts were made to look like fools

    It was all great entertainment

    Or here is an idea.

    Don't make a huge deal about a few idiots in Confederate clothing.

    Also don't make a huge deal about a few idiot athletes kneeling for the anthem.

    The vast majority of people in this country have nothing to do with the Confederacy and also don't act unusual around the national anthem.

    There will ALWAYS be small groups of people that go against the norm. That seek attention. They are just plain stupid.

    So what? Who cares. It's not the .0001% of humans doing dumb stuff that's the problem. It's the 90% of dumbasses that make it news that are the problem.

    In summary. This thread is stupid

    That’s their right and I certainly understand why they are doing it. The optics look weird. They’re protesting the confederate rally by kneeling in front of the symbol that represents the union but they likely didn’t think that much about it.

    Where it looks bad is that Kermit all but promised that his team would stand for the flag and anthem today. His players obviously disagreed.

    The klan has a right to their free speech. The om players have a right to theirs. And so do the ones that disagree with both of them.
