Quote:Unfortunately, due to the racial insensitivity displayed by leadership at Liberty University, I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal and no longer be a student-athlete at Liberty University. I pray that I am able to be provided with a opportunity at a new school that respects my culture and provides a comfortable environment. Bless it! #BLM”

Clark stated, “I have decided to enter my name into the transfer portal and I will no longer be attending Liberty University. This decision has been well thought out and prayed on. This decision is simply bigger than football or the program. The program, staff, and teammates were a complete blessing to my life. Over this year I have developed relationships that I will forever cherish and bonds that will not be broken. However due to the cultural incompetent within multiple levels of leadership, it does not line up with my code of ethics. So therefore I had to do what I felt like was right in my heart and I pray that you support me and pray for me as I find a new home to further my education and football career. Thank you! #BLM”

Land and Clark are both rising sophomores who were part of Coach Freeze’s first recruiting class at Liberty. Land is the highest rated recruit in school history, joining the program as a 4-star rated prospect. He played in 11 games as a true freshman last season, including starter at nickel, and finished with 23 tackles.

The concept of BLM is that Black Lives Matter... what about that doesn't this guy agree with? It's not saying no other lives matter. It's simply asking the rest of the world to agree that African Americans shouldn't be strangled, shot in the back, sodomized with a broom handle, etc. I would hope we can all agree with that pretty basic concept.

No, the concept and value of the current BLM movement has been completely lost in the last month. It's now a vehicle for extreme left wing propoganda. We as a country lost a huge opportunity to call for real.change and unity after Floyd's death was caught on video. Battle lines have now been draw and folks have made up their minds on what BLM means to them.

I understand that the university isn't the right fit for them but how do they not fit at Liberty?

If that is what you have taken away from the Protests over the last month, then you are part of the problem.

No change was going to happen without protests. Change is happening. Change is sometimes messy, but for many POC, status quo is worse.

We never could have had unity because 35% of the country don't think the Police did anything wrong, and since Floyd had a record, he someone was at fault.

When Kaepernick tried to protest peacefully, he was run out the league. Every time a Black person was killed there was always the excuse and coverups, with little or no punishments.

Sorry if some of you have been made uncomfortable over the last month - maybe that will open enough eyes to make a difference.

Equality, equal treatment under the law, freedom to live without being in fear of being shot or killed aren't left wing ideals. They should be AMERICAN Ideals. HUMAN ideals.

Look at Ahmaud Arbery - hunted down, terrorized and killed solely because he was black. And Law Enforcement covered for the murderers.

Look at Breonna Taylor - murdered in her own home by sheer incompetence, no charges filed yet, Louisville tried to sweep it under the rug.

Change is needed. Change will happen. Count on it.

I’m just saying the same thing you just did.

You are 100% wrong. BLM the organization is 100% a Marxist movement masquerading behind minority groups. Black, Hispanics and LGBT groups. Now with that being said, no person should discriminated against due to color.
