And when they show up to move his stuff out of the athletic dorm I think he will change his mind.

The kid states that he won’t play a down for Texas until these two issues are resolved:

72% of black men abandon their children
3% of the population - young black men - commit 53% of violent crimes


Needless to say, his football career is finished.

That is simple, revoke the scholarship and give it to someone else.

Texas needs to call his bluff and dismiss him from the team and yank his scholarship.

Then maybe black men need to sort their shite. He should be an example and start with himself and stop acting like and uneducated, immature fool. Get a degree, have a family, be there for the kids and live a good life. Not rocket science.

Since the letter was made public two weeks ago, the school has said only that it is looking into the demands. But the fact that no changes have yet been made seems to have spurred Overshown to action.


These guys get 10 times the amount of perks and special treatments than the average student and demand the university takes action? Between this and the whole Kansas State thing you would think these football players owned the university.

These same "student" athletes are going to be wondering WTF happened when football has no future.

My interest has been waning pretty fast, since they started talking about playing the players.


So allowing players to legally make money off of their own name, image, likeness was what turned you off? But paying players like Cam Newton under the table was palatable?

Here’s an idea. Do away with athletic scholarships and use the money for poor kids who achieve a certain high school GPA and demonstrate leadership and true community involvement while in high school.

Hey, maybe if they appease him no one else will pull this stunt and that will be the end of it.

I say give the lilbastard the blue sippy cup.

They should but we know they won't.

Goodbye football. You had a nice run.

Pull his scholarship and find someone else who will play. Plenty of kids in Texas would take that scholarship and play football in exchange for a free education.

At this point, I'm PERFECTLY fine with my last football memory being the GOAT LSU Season.

Frick it. Nothing will top that any way.

I'm alright with athletic scholarships, but I do think we need to stop lowering admissions standards for athletes.

College sports needs a complete overhaul.

What are his demands?


Bold strategy for someone that nobody has ever heard of... I think UT will be one of the few schools that won’t bow to leftist pressure. The alum and amount of money that program brings in aren’t going to play the SJW game.
