Tennessee Football boldly supporting BLM

What are they trying to change?

What are they trying to change?

Certainly not their culture. When are blacks going to end the racism aimed at whites? That's the elephant in the room.

Indeed.

But I would like one of the UT athlete leaders to articulate what are the issues? What is the systemic racism on that campus?

Perfect year to get political UT when your sports are all but cancelled and your revenue stream is about to become a trickle. Brilliant!

 

[Boston Vol]

I would say that a lot of this mostly for recruiting purposes.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

When are they going to Chicago & put an end to all the violence & the killing there. Let's do that first.
Black Lives Matter ......... but not in the Chicago killings of the other black lives and to other parts of the USA.

Want to stand in unity for BLM ....... clean up places like Chicago & NYC Portland LA first before you come preaching that BS.

I dont think so in this case.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

I have zero issue with peaceful protest, I have zero issue with protest for injustice. I dont think Tennessee is affiliated with the national group BLM. I have no issue with this

Oh I would LOVE it! I've asked here for someone to tell me what the exact problems are. I got nothing. Generalities. Nonsense. Anecdotal crap. The problem with Socialists is they don't even agree with each other. Look at Russia and China. Communist to the core and you couldn't even get them to have dinner together. And if you somehow did, they wouldn't agree on the menu.

Also in an "volatile" Presidential election year too.

Everything is about recruiting.

 

[allvol123]

Everything is about recruiting.

I disagree here. I think guys like Trey Smith have a true desire to create some change, I think he is misguided, but I think it is sincere and has nothing to do with recruiting.

I was only talking about the programs support, not individual players.

Oh yea, you're right. As I've said, CJP would support anything to protect his 7 figures. And that is any coach.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Yeah. I'd pretend to care about their pointless causes too.

 

[bpalmer28]

Someone please educate these children

 

[hog88]

Yeah. I'd pretend to care about their pointless causes too.

All day and with a smile on my face.

I could almost agree with you except for the BLM part. The camouflage of "well we arent like that BLM over there" is a pile of BS.

Find a new slogan.

All day and with a smile on my face.

Basically what my job entails..listening to people complain about pointless problems that are often their own fault and I just nod my head and smile.

I was just informed everyone commander level or higher in the Navy is being forced to watch videos right now about white privilege and how their is systemic racist in the military and US.

 

[VolStrom]

Okay then, if UT sports are going to politicize I'm not going to watch any sports anymore. I haven't watched any sports in nearly 8 months so apparently I can get by without them.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Certainly not their culture. When are blacks going to end the racism aimed at whites? That's the elephant in the room.

 

[bpalmer28]

I’m so tired of these groups acting like me and others like me are racist.

In a country with 330,000,000 people... only 10 unarmed black people were killed by police in 2019. At least 5 of those attacked police first. 1 other was an accident.

Injustice happens, but this is NOT a racist country. So much BS.
