Oso planning to go pro
I have been clear that “cutting off your nose to spite your face” is (IMO) foolish. And I haven’t seen any MU fan saying they are boycotting MU Hoops over their support for BLM.
Saying "Black lives matter" is not a political statement. It's a human rights statement. The fact that some people can't tell the difference is a big part of the problem.
You should go back and check the thread. I am certain there was one person who said just that...his screen name started with a K from what I remember. Edit: It was kyrza “I've been a season ticket holder for over 10 years and it looks like I won't even watch games this year let alone get season tickets. “
Pakuni I have said/acknowledged “Black lives matter“ on many occasions here and elsewhere. That may be enough for you (for which I am grateful) but it doesn’t cut it for some.
I'm not questioning whether you believe that. I don't doubt it at all. I'm questioning the framing of "Black lives matter" as it's being used by Theo (and the rest of the MU athletic community) as "his politics."It's something we should accept as self-evident, not a political stance.
