If enough viewers boycott, it would actually hurt, considering the stadiums will not be at full capacity if college football even happens this year.

I don’t think Mr. Sankey is going for enough and should put some additional weight behind what he is proposing. I believe the SEC should commit to moving their offices to Jackson MS if the state will change the flag. Jackson has some very progressive leadership and it would send a great message to the nation if the SEC would make such a bold commitment and relocate. Saw in the news they’ve got some new apartments about to open up downtown. Would be great to fill them with employees of the Southeastern Conference, including you Mr. Sankey!

If it comes up for a vote again, it'll be changed. Last vote was nearly 20 years ago. But, it'll get blocked, probably, from being voted on again.

Time to do it again to leverage the type of change he obviously feels so strongly about.

Why not just take each one on a case by case basis?

What about Georgia's flag? I don't have anything against Georgia but why single out Mississippi?

Just wow at this revisionist history and defense of racist segregationist laws.

Jim Crow laws were made to suppress the rights of black people. The "manage the interactions" angle you've made up in your head is complete and utter false nonsense.
The people who supported Jim Crow laws did so because they bought into the toxic racist mentality.


The entire nation was "racissss" fool. Abe Lincoln did not even believe in racial equality.

Cause they have already shown they aren't willing to do that. Jefferson and Washington monuments both toppled in Portland this week. This is not about slavery, etc. It is a vicious anti White crusade designed to humiliate and erase White heritage.

Maybe it does need to be changed, but that’s not for an athletic conference to decide.

The Conference isn't deciding anything

The same way Fans can threaten to stop buying Season Tix if their outdated school takes down loser arse confederate monuments, well the Conference can not let certain events be played in the State of mississippi as long as that Flag is the State Flag

Hooray SEC!!


Please tell us dear egalitarian, why does GA Tech graduate such a small percentage of African Americans? LINK / Is it due to racism? When do you think GA Tech will start enrolling and graduating as many Black students as Bama and Ole Miss and State do? When will GA Tech be redeemed?

The revisionism is the history YOU have been taught. The North and the South were able to reconcile, partially because the North did not forbid the South from honoring its fallen. This wave of monument toppling will not unify and you know it. When people wake up and realize their heritage has been demonized, that the woke masses want them dead, then things could get ugly.

I wonder when the SEC will demand that all SEC schools stop holding the separate Kente Cloth robing ceremonies given the fact that the Ashante African slave traders wore the Kente Cloth. LINK /

Why are only White slave owners and White slave nations being demonized? If you still don't know the answer, you are naive.

First of all, GT is an Institute of Technology and has VERY FEW ACADEMIC MAJORS in comparison to a traditional UNIVERSITY (from the root word Universal, meaning accompanying many Academic specialities), so while GT has maybe 50 "different" undergrad Majors the schools you use for comparison have maybe 150 undergrad Majors

For example a lot of Blacks go into Education because their parents were Teachers, GT has no education majors or College of Education, Black Females are well represented in Nursing, GT has no College of Nursing and there are other examples

GT has recently added a major Lit, Media and Communications, so maybe more women and a more diverse student body in General will arise

Based on the Academic Magazines, GT does a pretty good job of graduating Blacks in various STEM Majors, but we can do better and we are trying get better and be more inclusive

For example, GT built this years before Floyd was murdered, and before Conference Commissioners had to help force SEC schools to not promote Racist symbology:
Rosa Parks Sculpture at GT, no controversy we do the right thing because it is right

Video
Dedication of Sculpture

Think any of your favorite SEC Schools would build a monument to a Civil Rights Icon that has no connection to the school?
