"Due to unfortunate situations I will not be playing another snap for the University of Texas," Cook said in his official announcement on his Twitter page Thursday.

"(This) Has nothing to do with anyone or anything. Please respect my decision."

This doesn’t really make any sense. It obviously has to do with something.

I wonder what happened

I love how social media has forced everyone (not just this kid) to believe they need to issue their own press release on any and every decision in their lives.

This was posted on SEC Rant. Interesting coincidence.

Several athletes at the University of Texas at Austin are refusing to participate in recruiting incoming players or show up at donor-related events if university and athletics officials fail to respond to a list of demands geared toward supporting black students, according to a statement posted Friday afternoon by dozens of the student athletes on Twitter. 

Brennan Eagles, the school's sophomore wide receiver, and Brandon Jones, a senior defensive back, were among the students who posted the statement, detailing a list of actions Longhorn athletes want the university's athletics department to take. These include donating 0.5% of the department's annual earnings to the Black Lives Matter movement and black organizations, establishing a permanent black athletic history exhibit in the Athletics Hall of Fame and renaming parts of the football stadium after Julius Whittier, the first black football letterman at UT-Austin. 

In addition to demands specific to the athletics department, athletes also want UT officials to rename campus buildings named after Texans who were proponents of segregation or held other racist views, remove a statue of prominent segregationist James Hogg and discontinue the school song “The Eyes of Texas,” which has ties to minstrel shows and was created during segregation. Other calls to action include requiring a module on the history of racism at UT and increasing outreach efforts to inner-city schools in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Burger King is hiring.

Wow really hope UT doesn't cave to those demands. These athletes need to check their privilege.

His wording had me thinking they had some ignorant spat with representatives of texas and boom: post explaining a list of racist demands, free money, and destruction of history. BLM morons are so predictable.
