I Heard Some Talking Head Say College Football Coaches Are Bullying Their Black Athletes.... [View all]
telling them that they would lose their scholarships if they participated in any of these kneeling protests. I don't know if that is really true - but if it is - and Black athletes are kicked off college teams and lose scholarships - it would have a bigger effect on College Football itself. Black athletes make up a considerable percentage of players on college teams.
Colleges need football. It is a revenue generator for colleges. If teams were decimated because they kicked off Black athletes - college football would suffer and that would in turn effect the whole college in general.
Football - in itself - has major problems with the concussion issue. Football doesn't need another issue to further its - in my opinion - ultimate demise. If I was a parent of a boy that wanted to play sports - I would point him away from football - as it is hazardous to his long range health. If boys don't participate in football at the peewee level, and high school level - college teams will ultimately suffer - and further down the line - so will the NFL.
The NFL and Colleges don't need Trump meddling into their arena - as that only further complicates things for them.
Trump is an idiot for picking a fight with football or at least the Black athletes of football. This will not turn out good for Trump.
