Emmitt Smith, who starred at the University of Florida before his Hall of Fame career in the National Football League, is "utterly disgusted" by his alma mater after they fired all of their DEI employees. DEI stands for diversity, equity, and inclusion...

when the DEI activists start criticizing the NBA and NFL for not being racially diverse enough, then I'll start paying attention to them.

I for one hope every DEI employee in this country finds themselves on the receiving end of a termination letter.

DEI is literally dividing and destroying this country

OK let's make sure that whites, Native Americans and Asians are proportionately represented on athletic teams.

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

Yep, "Activism" is now an industry that feeds off of grants and political vote buyers.

DEI is at it's very core a racist concept. Anyone who supports DEI is a racist at their core. Really sorry that Emmit has chosen to out himself.

How did Emmitt ever get a scholarship, drafted and elected to the Hall of Fame without DEI programs in place? Almost as if being really good is what really matters..

“UF has conformed to the political pressures of today’s times”
Seems just the opposite, IMO

DEI is nothing more than a racist idea that minorities can’t succeed on their own merits and hard work.

Or other "marginalized" groups. Everyone in this country can succeed on their own merits. You just have to make that choice.

I bet if he had to choose between a DEI pilot or a real pilot flying him around in his private jet.. I bet he wouldn’t think twice about hiring the non English speaking migrant pilot to fly him and his family around the country

STFU Emmitt. DEI is the most pointless thing in sports. Good for UF.

I saw where some folks want the players to walk out in protest over this. All I can say is "Bye, bye, NIL money!"

I’m all for DEI in football and basketball. Not hardly any white guys!

Maybe all of these unemployed DEI folks can get their next made-up gig in the Office of Unicorn Fart Smellers, or they can go help the Underwear Gnomes.

It's called Make-work. It's what 99% of gov jobs are. I mean, who else would pay someone for 8 hrs work and actually only squeeze 1 hr out of em?
