NAACP Calls on Black Athletes & Fans to Withhold Support of Public Schools in States Attacking Black Voting Rights

[CRazzle]

Primarily SEC schools......and Clemson.

Out of Bounds

We're calling for Black athletes, families, alumni, and fans to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in southern states attacking Black voting rights.

Lol next level tantrums from the naacp and hakeem Jeffries. The clowns just won't stop clowning

I guess I’m confused as to why they would not be calling for white athletes, families, fans, etc to do the same.

boycotts rarely work but a perfectly fair tool in the toolkit.

If this brings more and better athletes to Iowa I love this move

How long is it going to be before some 50 year old white lady gets pissed off at the C in NAACP and tries to get their name changed?

My guess is because white people voting rights aren't being attacked and white people in the south are racist AF.

I’m sorry, but NAAAAP is just an a too many.

I don’t understand this boycott to be limited to the south. Boycotts work based on economic impact.

2026 man, what a time to be alive.

I got no problem with this. Every stop needs to be pulled out at this point. I wouldn't care if this ruins Clemson university.

You don't understand what is happening re redistricting?
You don't understand the difference in the geographic locations (Ohio being the exception)?
You don't understand how the above are effecting different racial demographics differently?
You don't understand the difference in college sports participation?
You don't understand the relationship between black student athletes and college revenue?
Or you don't understand why white folks aren't the lever to be pulling?
Or are playing stupid?

This might help you...

Redistricting is rampant ahead of the US House midterm elections. What states are taking action? | The Associated Press

A partisan redistricting battle among states has accelerated ahead of the November midterm elections following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened the federal Voting Rights Act and opened the way for states to try to eliminate voting districts drawn for racial minorities.

For the record, I do think it's the last question above.

I understand redistricting quite well, and the boycott as a response quite well too. But in the broader world, d’s win races not simply on the basis of black votes, but also on white liberal votes. So too with putative economic boycotts, and particularly where you’re talking about a world where consumers (ie, tv eyeballs) ability to influence the university revenue model may be limited under media contracts, and where modern athletes will mostly cave based on their economic payday.

or you could just do it to vent, which is fine too but like your post, does suggest its own racial inferences.

Think they’re ready for their NIL $ to go away?

Remember when the NAACP boycotted the state of SC for like 20 years and no one noticed????

It’s the NAACP.

Where have you been? They already attack white liberal voters. They turned NC from a 7-7 congressional delegation to an 11-3 bunch simply by carving up white liberal voters.

If they can get it somewheres else, I encourage them to go there. I couldn't give a flip about college football at this moment in history.

…Which, to my point, would be all the more reason to appeal to white liberal voters to join the boycott. Wouldn’t it?
