Pretty safe to say that sports is the last bastion of meritocracy. No coach is going to bench a player that can help him keep his multi-million dollar a year job, because he doesn't like the color of the kids skin.

Yet here we are, hurrying to signal to the masses that we are indeed WOKE, so please don't attack us on social media. All for the $$$$$$$$$$.

Because the social justice message on the front left of the uniform isn’t enough, black stickers on the back of the helmet are also needed. Yep, that’ll move me to join the cause - whatever the cause is.

I'm going to have to watch my games with the sound off, might be the only way I can keep my nachos down this year.

Takeaway their revenue and blm goes away. Don't buy cable subs, donate, or go to games. The game will become simpler when the dollars are removed.

I had the SMU/Texas State game on this past weekend. Volume on low and just had it on in the background. Paid attention to the game from time to time. It was really nice to have football on again. But, what made it enjoyable was that there were no BLM or other social justice signs plastered conspicuously on the field, jerseys, or helmets. If they were there, I didn't notice them. That's the point. It didn't come across as a SJW event with a football game breaking out. It was just football. Maybe because it was a couple of Group of 5 schools where the dollars aren't as significant?

My guess is that the B12 media campaign will have the following effect:

1) Rich and important sports people in the conference offices and big sports media will pat themselves on the back and feel really good about the impact they are making

2) Some from the black community will raise the Black Power fist and say “right on”

3) The ever growing conservative black Americans will roll their eyes at the stupidity, perhaps mutter fools under their breath and carry on with their life

4) Most of us sheep will watch the ads and not change one thing in our lives and how we treat each other because 99% of us simply aren’t racist.
