Athletic specific donations will suffer because of this. Not many want to fund the next Kaepernick. His conduct and the conduct of current athletes comes off as very unappreciative of the opportunity to represent an University and get a quality education at the same time. Donors have been basically funding the NFL minor league and are waking up.
Black athletes and the NFL are literally biting the hands that feed them, IMO.

Seems it is the reverse. At LSU there is a higher percentage of wealthier fans in the seats now than in my childhood (1960s). Attending LSU Football is an expensive endeavor these days.

Have you bumped yo Em effin' head?
At your school Bama, 100 Athletes in FB & MBB Gross upwards of $150MM each year from all their sources of Revenue, of those 100 Athletes mentioned above, roughly 70-75% are Black
When that small of a group are generating that much MONEY no one is biting the hand that feeds them, in fact they are literally paying the freight for the entire Athl Dept, so whatever they get, what little they get, those Athletes generate 25X what they get from Bama
Can you say the same for the non Revenue welfare Sports?
While you challenge the Black Athlete to not bite the hand that feeds him, WHEN do you challenge those T9 Sports & non Revenue Sports to get off WELFARE and generate their own money?
When the eff do you ask them to support themselves to at least a break-even level?
I'll answer, YOU NEVER DO!!
Guys like you are quick to tell Blacks to do this or that, but real slow to say anything to majority white athletes in non Revenue Sports that are producing far less

Agreed and all athletes can protest peacefully outside the sport all they want. Do not infringe my rights to watch at the sporting event.
If so I will exercise my right to not watch and have not watched the NFL since they started kneeling and do not miss at all.
Nothing to do with race and I mean any type of protest.
Protesting peacefully is our constitutional right, get a permit, get on the street, protest all you can but do not use my money to protest at a sporting event.
Very likely college football may not be played this fall, emotions will calm and next year it can restart without drama.
