Ppl love saying sports aren’t political but political news outlets do this. Cut the shit. Sports are political you just only like *white* benefiting politics so if it doesn’t fit those narratives it’s not political. Even trying to avoid politics is a political move.
None of the 3 ppl in this photo are perfect but it’s WILD white ppl they could’ve used. Did y’all not see that Suns article last week? Let us not forgot the white man who beat the shit out of his BLACK partner in Seattle, can’t forget Josh Brown and his inability to keep
His hands off his wife. Big Ben is super nasty, Donald Sterling is nasty and racist. I mean cmon if we finna talk turkey then let’s talk turkey. Don’t push racist narratives in an attempt to counters the fact that Aaron Rodgers is a lying idiot. Tf? The simple fact that this
Graphic had to be used to defend a dude who lied about a vaccine goes to show you how far ppl are willing to go to defend whiteness. Dog, Rodgers lied about the vaccine..is it that big a deal? No. Not really. He just needed to be accountable for it and instead of holding him to
That we get this. Oh let’s not look at the white guy who fucked up, let’s go the extreme end and bring up the Black players who did things that are much worse than lying about a vaccine. This wouldn’t have even turned into a big scene if RODGERS DIDNT MAKE IT ONE!!!! All he had
To do was say, “I lied, I’m sorry, still not getting the vaccine” boom, and ppl would’ve moved on as soon as he threw that first TD next week…but no, he doubled down and made a mountain out of molehill and now we get this. Y’all will say “woke mob” this and that instead of just
Holding ppl you don’t even know accountable for their actions. Imagine riding this hard for someone who wouldn’t give you a dollar if you were dead broke and on the streets. Man kick rocks G. This entire thing is a political game of how can we protect white ppl & it’s ridiculous

Y’all really would’ve had to have been in that #ASHE session last week, b/c I’m not cappin when I say every single person in that room was engaged in critical conversation around college athletics in a way I’ve never seen in a HESA space. Largely that’s due to us not being given
A space to have those convos with others in the field. There weren’t just only college sports scholars in there. Most ppl who came were there to support their friends and ended up fully participating in and we all connected with something. It was beautiful and that’s why we need
More of that. I’m not saying we need 100 athletics session at HESA conferences but what I am saying is maybe don’t just lump all the athletics ppl into one place. Yes, having that space is great but we also can be in other spaces and add tremendous value to them. Athletes are
