Was there ever an apology made by any player, any coach, or the school for supporting a far left Marxist run politically motivated racist organization that is no better than the German Nazi Party? No, there wasn't. They just all ducked their heads and melted away and just stopped talking about it.

That's why some of us haven't and won't let it go

You"re only talking two - three years ago - it's not ancient history.

No apology means they arent sorry and they don't see it as a mistake.

Eff "em.

Agree 100%

No apology doesn't mean they aren't sorry. They cannot apologize for the BLM stickers without offending the BLM crowd. The mistake they made was to pick a political side. They realized how that alienated part of the fan base, and quietly retired the stickers so as not to offend the other side.

It's a common political trick to try and get your opponent to make a statement supporting one side of a hotly debated issue, alienating the other. In this case, the UofM did it to themselves.

I don't know the politics of the person who owns Central BBQ, and I don't care. I just want to go there, get some BBQ, and enjoy it.

This! Veatch and Silverfield chose a political side. Apologizing doesn't change that. Veatch and Silverfield chose to politicize OUR team. I will not support them. I will always be a Tiger. I'm an alum. An alienated alum.

Both V and S are not from Memphis. Neither understand the make-up of our city. Neither accounted for the outcomes of supporting a Marxist organization. What great leadership! They both can go. I, and many others, are more vested in the university than these 2 clowns. They did not need to speak for us in 2020. They do not speak for us now.

Veatch and Silverfield stood up against the continued slaughter of unarmed Black people by vicious out of control racist cops. Just because you support the cops doesn't mean you are not political. You are probably evil as well.
