If you are calling me a racist be a man and do it. I can rebut and embarrass you badly.

It has exposed idiot sheep marxists.

“The use of the BLM logo on a helmet decal was an idea from our student-athletes," Silverfield said in a text message to The Commercial Appeal. "It doesn't mean we support any anti-American, violent organization or hate group or any specific political party. In fact, I love this country and I love our players. Rather the decal is a show of support to our team."

I support our athletes on and off the field, as does our coach. I’ve learned all I need to know about those of you who expect them to entertain you, but don’t consider them worthy to have their own opinions about our society.

Sure and the Confederate flag is heritage not hate and the swastika is an ancient hindu symbol for good luck.....

Yeah. The admin screwed the pooch on this one. Spare me the rationalizations. Ruin Silverfield didn't look before he leaped. If it just means we support our athletes them ditch it and replace with a proper symbol.

Spare me the players cant have opinions bologna too. Of course they do. Not one Memphis fan I know has disputed that point. I dont need to give you my bone fides.

I wont support them if they put a hammer and sickle on their helmet even if they tell me it stands for carpenters and farmers. Dont dare call anyone a racist for not supporting BLM incorporated into our symbols. That's a false statement and insulting and just a weak minded attempt at shaming and bullying.

Symbols mean things. Just because Silverfield says "well it doesnt really mean that" after the fact doesnt make it so.

I got no beef with you. I tolerate your opinion but I don't agree.



Didnt really mean anything bad. Heard it before

"Unranked and unappreciated, Florida played like irritated and dismissed Southerners -- and looked the part, also. The Gators took the field with Confederate flag emblems on their helmets as a not-so-subtle reminder to the Northerners that football, indeed, was played in this part of the country.

UF forced five Penn State turnovers and held the Nittany Lions’ vaunted offense to a mere 147 yards in a thoroughly decisive 17-7 upset before a Gator Bowl record-crowd of 50,286."

Damn right.

I respect your opinion, but do you guys really think the coach and his team are really marxists trying to promote marxism? Hell i bet 80% of college students couldn't tell you what Marxism means. Is it possible that when they say "Black Lives Matter" they just mean "Black lives Matter."
