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.

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?

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


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...

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.

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.

Hey, black youth. Congrats! You’ve finally are being paid for your great achievements! You’re being paid enough money to live comfortably for the rest of your life! Now give it up because we don’t want black republicans winning elections over white liberals.

Or - go to one of the dozens of schools who can offer you just as much if not more and you will also benefit from getting to live in a state that isn’t trying to strip you of your rights.

It's absolutely a raced based call to boycott. Which is why you asking about "what about the whites" is pretty silly. Maybe I was wrong, your post wasn't playing stupid.

not if you want to maximize the already longshot chances for the boycott to "work". White liberals have eyeballs to watch events with, asses to sit in event seats, fingers to type on team website message fora, and wallets to buy team gear, just as others do. It would indeed be nice if boycotts worked by their sheer moral force, but they don't.

Yeah…Because that’s exactly how college recruiting works. Good grief. Not to mention, having grey haired people whose life and accomplishments are already in the rear view mirror, telling youth to give up a goal they’ve achieved and have been dreaming of, is so dumb and selfish.

It’s grotesque, really. And again, ZERO people are being stripped of their rights. But Dems do black exploitation better than anyone.

You posted this, while wearing rainbow clothing purchased from Target, and some fresh Nikes while drinking a Bud Light and watching live action Snow White, didn't you?

Don't think you need the "P" with no "C". Think it would just be the "NAAAA". Kind of an interesting double entendre. Sort of like "#MeToo" also read as "pound me too".
Only if the last A ends with s. And to your point above, you probably want to keep the P go avoid the potentially comedic acronym alternative.

Before you go giving up your life for the gray hairs in the NAACP, realize that they endorsed the three people at the bottom of this picture and not the three at the top.
Gee wonder why. Not really.

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


Genius MOVE

Back when they forced the Worlds Series out of Atlanta due to the so called Jim Crow voting law
Calling it voter suppression which resulted in largest voter turnout in Georgia history

So idiotic move

Now the same sort of stupid position

Please get a life people

Don’t forget moving NCAA tourney out of NC because voters in that state didn’t want grown men sharing bathrooms with their 5 year old daughters.

The Democrats need to pick battles that are sensible like more funding for South Carolina State University in Orangeburg

Something like NAACP will encourage black athletes to not play at college in SC unless the state increases funding to the school

I am a white guy and say State needs to have improved funding

Just think fair is fair

You think black people aren't smart enough to know the GOP is their enemy? You must be some kind of GOP racist. Which party is gerrymandering them out of existence?

I don't need to wonder why the NAACP would endorse Democrats. Neither do you. Not really.
