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.

No you just get upset over pointless shite. You may have had a case if you stopped at the first example but no instead you bitched about players protesting and that's when you turn into a snowflake.

You can make all the excuses you want but your bitching about kneeling makes you no less a snowflake than some idiot bitching about too many white people at the Oscars

90% of people that say this, move around to get to their seat while the anthem is going on, or sit down at home while it’s being played on the TV.

I’m always someone who will stand for it, but it’s a mutual decision that a Green Beret and Kap came to together to avoid him sitting while the anthem is being played.
