The reason the @SEC isn’t cancelling football is money.
Masters ain’t never really cared about the health of their inventory.
Let that sink in.
The Black athletes that dominate SEC sports are not truly valued. These commissioners, AD’s, and coaches care about the dollars.
If players want to see their power. Just collectively say you won’t play.
You hold the power. I don’t care what they tell you. They can’t make their money if you opt out.
Football will be there after COVID numbers drop.
These schools don’t know if the players have underlying health conditions that could put them at greater risk.
Why?
The schools do physicals to make sure athletes can play sports. Not to see if they have health issues.
All it’s going to take is a player to get seriously sick. Then because it will be bad for public relations they’ll shut it down.
This is about empty stadiums, contracts with vendors, and the impact financially.
It has NOTHING to do with football.
It’s about the money.
Black athletes, love yourself.
Tell these institutions that wouldn’t even allow your ancestors to play on these fields, that you aren’t property. And you won’t subject yourself to a unpredictable virus.
Players risking their health, while coaches make millions.
Football can wait. If we lose one young person because they played ball. That’s one too many.
