No one ever said players need to shut up, nor did anyone say they are tired of them having a voice.
Folks have had and continue to have a problem with players making ridiculous demands such as 50% of revenue, etc. when such a thing is not even possible. People also get tired of folks acting like the value of a college education is nothing.
The average annual cost of college for a typical 4-year institution is roughly $26,000/year for in-state colleges. Once a kid gets a degree, they can typically expect to command a salary that is approximately 1.66x their expected salary if they had just a high school diploma.
That degree is literally worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and yet people still want to equate college athletics to "modern day slavery."
No one has a problem with athletes speaking up. People have a problem with anyone acting stupid and making irrational demands.

They sure did. Plenty on this board said exactly that.

Eh, for most people it is "I don't mind you saying something as long as its something I agree with"
