University of Nebraska Board member wants players kicked off team for kneeling during anthem
- Thread starter madness
- Start date
Every single one of those schools and every school not in the top 25 have racist fans. It was a first glance "yeah they have racist fans," moment by me.
If you don't believe some of those schools have a higher percentage of racist fans based on their locations well I don't know what to say to you.
My whole point in showing the top 25 schools was directed at the posters calling out the kids for choosing the schools they chose to attend. Kids can't control the racist fans that cheer for them on Saturday, but still hate them. Kids and parents pick the schools the kids go to based off 100 different reasons. If racism was the major reason for not going to a school which school would they go to?
Surprised Tom Osbourne hasn't said much yet.
why would he? Old man Osbourne got plenty of experience kicking black players off the team during his coaching days....

NU Regent Daub says comments about kicking kneeling players off team were misquoted
LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) -- University of Nebraska Regent Hal Daub jumped into the middle of a debate concerning the actions of several Husker football players.
Senior linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey, redshirt freshman Mohamed Barry and freshman DaiShon Neal took a knee during the anthem ahead of the game against Northwestern University, last Saturday. On Monday Rose-Ivey said they were joining in solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other professional and amateur athletes who are kneeling or otherwise protesting racial injustice and police brutality.
Daub was quoted in a local newspaper as saying Rose-Ivey, Barry, and Neal should be kicked off the team for their actions. The quote, which was still posted on the Lincoln Journal-Star's website as of Tuesday evening, read in part, "They know better and they had better be kicked off the team."
In an on-camera interview with WOWT 6 News, Daub responded saying that he was misquoted in the article. "I did not say that the three football players should be kicked off the team, my goodness gracious," said Daub. "How ridiculous. I wouldn't say that." Daub also told WOWT 6 News sister station 10/11 News in Lincoln that his comments were taken out of context and that he was asking the newspaper for a retraction.
Daub said that the three players have the right to free speech, but shouldn't take a stance while in a Nebraska uniform.
"I think their conduct was discouraging to many Nebraskans. I think it was disappointing. I'm personally offended as someone that served in the military," he said.
Daub added that, like the players on the field, he's simply expressing his First Amendment right to free speech. "I'm certainly entitled to my opinion just as some of those who might criticize me are entitled to theirs."
Rose-Ivey delivered a prepared speech to the media on Monday where he explained why he and his teammates took a knee on the sidelines during the anthem. The full transcript of that speech can be found here. The players involved say they've received blowback from fans, friends, media, and peers since Saturday night's game. Rose-Ivey defended their actions, saying, "While you may disagree with the method, these reactions further underscore the need for this protest and gives us a small glimpse into the persistent problem of racism in this county."
Husker football head coach Mike Riley stood by his players. On Tuesday Riley said, "Everybody should be reminded that there's lots of different -- I've got 140 kids on the football team and they're all different in their own beautiful way. And I think everybody should be reminded that this is America and we have an opportunity and a right to be able to basically do what we feel."
That's a sentiment echoed by University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds, who said in part "that all are free to state their opinion is the beauty of living in a country like the United States." Read more from President Bounds and other Regents here.
Nebraska takes on Illinois at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln on Saturday at 2:30 pm. Players are typically not yet out on the field during the national anthem at games held at Memorial Stadium.

Yep a brotha on here called it earlier. At the end of the day white folks will cut your throat you fukk up they money. Even cut the throat of they own if folks money coming up short.
In the end they ain't got no issue with old boy talking shyt about black players. They just got an issue with him saying it in public which brings too much heat and.......of course fukks up they money.
...if the gubna really has the balls to have a sit down with Michael Rose-Ivey, then i think every brotha on the team should attend. he should have to explain to all of them and their parents why black protest of an unjust old white tradition (murdering blacks) should take a back seat to them performing in another old white tradition (national anthem) while in a nebraska uniform.

but the sacrifice shouldn't be made on the backs of those who have the least. the sacrifice needs to come from the alums/boosters who aren't donating to these universities at rates that whites donate to their universities. if tennessee state doesn't have at least a billion in their endowment when oprah goes where we all eventually go then that would be an example of wealthy black people not looking out for the next generation in a manner that wealthy white folks do for theirs.
the players are the ones who drive the business of college football. It would have to be a communal sacrifice, players, boosters, ADs, coaches, etc.
