Umm, if they weren't playing football at a high level they would be young adults working their first jobs or college students.. why else would I care about them over any other young adult? This argument is a weak attempt to create more of an us vs them mentality

But they are playing football at a high level for our school. We want them to come play here, and we take pride in it when they go out and win a national title and talk about how these players are “ours”. But when these same players start making decisions for themselves or talking about social justice stuff or whatever, you have countless people in this fan base that call them selfish and basically tell them to shut the frick up. You don’t see the problem with that?

Again, the fans support this program financially. We don’t have to support every player in every endeavor and we have just as much of a right to expression then they have. How can you be open to their rights and opinions but be so closed to mine? They shouldn’t be given any more preference over the fans. They shouldn’t be immune to criticism. That would be called privilege and we can’t have that in 2020.
