Team protest scheduled for June 13

- Start date
Honestly I think it's good idea. It'll be peaceful and probably positive.
That would be a great day to announce that we are changing the name of Tillman Hall back to Old Main Hall as it was originally.
wonder how many on this board will stop cheering for Clemson because its players choose to exercise a constitutional right
Followed by team memorial service for police killed in the line of duty this year?
this board is so predictable. painfully predictable.
cops being killed in the line of duty sucks
But please don't try and compare that to cops killing unarmed citizens they're sworn to protect and serve
Well, this should create some cognitive dissonance.
Long as they don't start looting, murdering, burning, etc... I'm behind them 100%.
If only it was that simple. Doesn't the state have to approve that?
I wonder how many will get pissed off when I stand up tall when they sing the national anthem and i salute the flag of the UNITED State of America.
hahahahaha none
Wanting to improve your country and make it better for everyone does not mean you don't love your country
Not disagreeing with your sentiment but cops are not sworn to protect and serve. They have zero legal obligation to do so. One of the many reasons why the system needs changing.
No one. Absolutely no one. This “imagined victimhood” **** blows my mind. No one is pissed off if you stand up.
I stand up for the national anthem and always will. But I totally respect someone else’s right not to. That’s their right as an American.
You are right. Very good idea. Never should have been changed to begin with...
I think so. Which is exactly why I would announce it then. That way, it it gets denied Clemson can say "See. We tried but the legislature which is full of UofSC grads stopped us"
To be fair, Drew Brees basically said he wanted to stand up for anthem and talked about why. Was the reaction he recieved imagined?
It’s not that he wanted to stand it’s that he failed to see why others would want to kneel. No one is getting upset about people standing.
Drew Brees didn't just say why he wanted to stand up for the anthem. He went further and characterized those who were kneeling as "disrespecting the flag."
I’m not sure if this is the most ignorant post in TI history or the greatest troll post in TI history.
One place we know where you will not be is with the players, staff, students, true fans and community that join them on their protest.
LoL tone deaf huh? Michael Wilbon hit it on the head why people were pissed off at his response.
Well I was thinking 2 different things. BLM and protesting to have Pearman removed.
Correct - the reason why I want change is because I love this country, not because I hate it.
If you listen to his entire interview and come up with that I don't know if i can ever see eye to eye on this with you. His entire interview for the most part said we need to do better and support each other as a country, that was 99 percent of it. The 1 percent about his belief that you should stand up and respect the flag was what everyone absolutely blasted him for.
Not everyone is going to agree with you on your opinion. That alone does not make them racist or insensitive.
Mike jones jr organized it will be announced on his Instagram later

People have and will absolutely continue to take heat for not kneeling. I personally don't like kneeling during the National Anthem. I don't have a problem with a protest. I wish we could find a middle ground. Can we take 60 seconds to kneel at some other point, right before or right after?
Legislature has to approve an official renaming. Wonder what would happen if everyone at Clemson simply started referring to it by the former name and NEVER used the Tillman name again. Simply switch to an unofficial ‘nickname’ ala Death Valley/Memorial Stadium. Let the politicians in Columbia own the problem as the University family moves forward.
I am not tone deaf, and since i don't have any idea what Wilbon said, and you didn't care to mention, we will leave it at that.
My country tis of thee
Sweet land of liberty
Of the I sing
Land where my fathers died
Land of the pilgrims' pride
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring
I sang that verse before school started every single day of elementary school. Can't believe I still remember the words, although, I do not remember when the schools stopped doing it.

Absolutely time for it. It should have happened long ago.
Or.... not worry about officially renaming it and “deface” the building by taking off TILLMAN and replace with OLD MAIN.
Not hard.
would love to see government official response to that. Quite frankly.... there wouldn’t be.
