Acho being a drama queen, what does them being required to sing the song look like exactly? What are the repercussions if they don’t? If there is or ever has been any it’s fucking bullshit and that should absolutely be done away with.
Do you not remember how it was a major "outrage" story when Wickline didn't stay for the Eyes?

Well, as a fan of Longhorn football since 1967 and a contributor to UT Athletics, time to say goodbye. Been real and I have to say I'll miss it.
And to the football team:
GO FUCK YOURSELVES
Seriously, seriously. I want you to think about this before you do this action. No one cares.

I mean, it's only one of our main traditions at the University of Texas, but why stop there? Maybe we should change our school colors and the Longhorn mascot too. Get rid of the "Hook 'Em" sign. Replace "Texas Fight", after all it's just a song too. Take down the 1963, 1969, and 1970 National Titles for obvious reasons. 2005 might be ok, but not sure. All SWC titles before 1970 need to come down as well. Any building on campus built before the 1970s needs to be destroyed and replaced. Cancel all culture that might hurt anyone's feelings.
See you throw all that out and none of those things are being talked about by the athletes. But we couldn't or shouldn't do anything because something else might happen seems like a great plan.

1) Actually made a good point. It’s probably going away. The good thing is that this team and program are going to slip farther into decay so there won’t be much to sing about any way.
2) You’re just a fake, disingenuous person hiding behind a cloak of wokeness. The fact that I could care less about the opinions of complete strangers does not make me a bad person. I choose to focus only on the things that I can control.Well, Sydney doesn't care what you think about him as a person or his beliefs. He's just here to entertain you.

Were there athletes that have been singing The Eyes of Texas saying to themselves “I hate having to sing this racist song”? What if the replacement song offends someone else. Not quite sure how changing the song makes everyone less racist when many, many, many aren’t racist to begin with. If the athletes truly feel disgusted by the song then that is one thing but sometimes everything looks like a nail when you’re holding a hammer.
I'd imagine they didn't know about it until recently or they did and there was never a moment to speak up about it till now.

Come on man, I don't have to spell out the huge difference between a nickname and flags being flown of the entity that wanted to keep blacks as slaves versus the Eyes which might have been played initially at a minstrel show. Whether the Eyes was performed in blackface would be a nice fact to know and could change my opinion.
The cabal informed me that they'd like you to view this tweet.

I will ask again
Does this work with everyone ?
What if the women of Texas wanted MLK's name removed from streets, building, schools and statues taken down because he was a womanizer and adulterer? Would that ever happen?
Are you by any chance related to J Edgar Hoover?
