re: Will you still support the Dawgs when they go political?

Because you have to be an insane snowflake to give up on your team because a player was kneeling.

You 100% don't get it. I know it's idealistic but guess I'm guilty of being a romantic. Being a UGA fan, student, or player is a we, us, and them. Had an AU buddy of mine refer to a game as "a hugging strangers game"; anyone fan-enough to post on this board knows exactly what he is talking about. As they say, "it just means more".

Anyone who's played sports at just about any level knows the racially-blind bond sport teams enjoy, especially in football.

If UGA players vote for Biden, I could care less. Hell, they could warm up in Hillary/ Obama/ Biden tee shirts. I don't care.

But if you're asking me if I would support the "political actions" of kids forcing a coach to grovel because he said the N word while trying to get his kids to quit saying the N word, or forcing a coach to grovel because of a T-shirt he wore fishing, or pretending it's 100% OK to kneel during the anthem (which certainly upsets 75% of your fan base) but not OK to say you don't agree; then I choose to not pretend this nonsense makes sense. I choose to spend my precious time and $$ elsewhere. You've already ruined the romance that, in my mind, makes college football so great. It just wouldn't be the same.

So, it's not "snowflake" or "melt"; it's a rational decision that I get to make based on what I expect to get out my support for my beloved Dawgs. How you respond is your choice. And I fully accept you have every right to choose as you see fit.
