You mean like you just did? The people that comment on what he said are entitled their opinion too.

Yea I mean he has every right to feel that way but I never heard about him having any beef with it when he was here. Maybe I missed something but I never expected everyone to be fully on board with it staying.

Yea but to be fair what he is saying is there were a lot of people on here who were assuming how all the black players felt because there's this weird belief some have that all black people think the same way. He's just pointing out the hypocrisy of the pandering and virtue signaling by those clowns.

Can't control what everyone does. I support him in his decision either way. Just glad the song didn't become a part of cancel culture for now.

The only thing I have to say is thank God our players and students have more sense than a lot of the fucking idiots on this board. I'm sure this isn't the last we've heard of this forever but at least both sides have shown they can listen and have come to a compromise. Anyone who can't see that has their heads shoved firmly up their own ass. I support Sterns in not singing if that's what he chooses. I have no problem with that whatsoever. Just glad that it's not a required change for everyone else who believes the song is special. Once again, just because YOU feel that something is bad doesn't mean that everyone shares that opinion and should have to bow to your demands and I think they get that. Good on both sides for listening and coming to a compromise. Now let's put all this behind us for now and play some football. Hook Em.

NFL plans to play Black national anthem before Week 1 games
Honestly I could do without the star spangled banner too. Seems kind of weird that we play that at sporting events other than the olympics anyway. This is what I said when Kaepernick took the knee the first time and everyone lost their shit in ridiculous polarizing fashion. Just get rid of the anthem all together and you don't have these problems. I feel slightly different about the eyes of Texas because it's a school song that makes since to sing at our sporting events but Iv'e also come to the conclusion that if that's what it takes to stop all this nonsense that it's a small price to pay relatively speaking. I just don't think that will ben the end of it.

Once again, it's all about compliance.

That's because that's exactly what it is. Don't second guess yourself on this one.

No dumbfuck. I was pointing out that earlier you kept calling me racist without a shred of evidence to support your baseless claim. I wasn't reacting to the photo at all.

Then you haven't read very much of it. Especially go back in look at Brad in Atx's posts.

Lol the discourse has obviously been reduced to this now. That is literally something a child would say.

Wow great counter point. You have nothing of substance to say obviously.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
We live in a world where people don't think for themselves and have their heads firmly shoved up their own asses. And that is never more apparent than every time you post some nonsense like this. Btw I guess this doesn't apply to you because on another thread I saw you say that the Mississippi State players should just get over a joking tweet Mike Leach sent out about killing his wife. Your'e a hypocrite. You just pick and choose which people to shit on based on the bullshit narrative you have in your head.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Lol see what I mean? That's way to easy of a conclusion to make. Unless you are trolling (high possibility) then you have no evidence of that and are drawing your own conclusion to fit your narrative. Probably because you are uncomfortable with your own racism and you are putting that on me now. What a fucking ignorant comment.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
The most hilarious thing to me about this thread is you have people openly calling people racist without a shred of evidence for that. And I heard one poster justify it by saying well what are we supposed to think or what are the players supposed to think if you disagree? Maybe it's your own problem with racism that you have in your head and you are prescribing that onto other people who disagree with you. That's what it seems like to me. It's this weird idea that I didn't know I was racist therefore everyone else must be too. Ask yourself do you know what people who disagree with this are thinking or is that what you think they are thinking because you think that way? Get over yourself.

Washington DC's NFL franchise to get a new name
And no matter how many times you post, you're still an ignorant ass. So what?

No evidence to suggest this is the case other than Overshown taking his ball and going home which I'd be willing to bet changes.

Like I said, I completely disagree. Certainly doesn't seem to be affecting recruiting.

This is never going to happen regardless of what happens with the song. Their will always be top tier talent that will play for UT. You are absolutely kidding yourself if you think any different.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
I remember being young and woefully ignorant of my lack of perspective and making arguments like this thinking I just owned the shit out of someone. Makes me nostalgic. I have a sudden craving for the OG 4 loko now Haha you absolutely have no room to talk about a lack of perspective or making sustainable arguments. Your entire argument is "your racist" if you don't agree without any evidence of anyone being racist. Absolutely no logic in that whatsoever.

I'm not the only one who doesn't think it's racist, including a lot of black people. And I hope someday you will stop pandering and virtue signaling for a cause you really don't care about at all. We'll see which one happens first.

Lot's of racists eat Mcdonalds too. Guess they should close up shop.

Well you used a lot of words to say a whole lot of nothing and you completely missed the point. I have done the research on the song. I understand they "feel" it is racist but that doesn't mean everyone does. Even a lot of the the former black players think they are going too far. The song at this point wasn't even what I was talking about. It's the attitude both sides of this are approaching this situation. If Overshown wants to take his ball and go home he can do that but it seems very childish to me though I'm willing to hear him out. But if all you have to say is the same vague things like it's racist because I feel this way then it's really hard for me to just do what you tell me. Once again, I support everything else that was on their list one hundred percent. Doesn't mean I have to agree with the last part. You are basically saying because I disagree with the players on that that I didn't acknowledge facts and I'm not willing to hear them out. Your'e the one who is wrong.
