None of us who ever grew up singing the Eyes ever thought it was racist, and we did not intend any racism either while we were cheering on Earl and Ricky and our other Black players down on the field. I don't think that lawsuit has any legal merit, and I am a lawya...

Problem is if you look back far enough, not only the South but the entire U.S., there is racist history there. Yale which produces many liberal graduates was named for Elihu Yale, associated with the Dutch East India company and East Indian slave trade: See:LINK

You could make just about everything in this country racist if you go back far enough. We just named our stadium after our Heisman winners Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams (respect which I absolutely support), and NCAA players have NIL rights now... I think we are moving forward, not back...

This is what righties won’t stand upon though, and it sucks.

UTSA unfurls a giant “come and take it” flag before the 4th quarter of home games. Instead of the cannon, it has the roadrunner logo. Their president is doing away with it because far right groups have adopted the slogan.

Rather than educate the ignorant on the meaning of the flag, they’d rather give in because of optics.

Seems like all you need to do to cancel something is to associate it with some ‘white supremacy’ group.
