I do agree with "ENOUGH" as in enough of this social justice bull ####.

Thats how I read it. Also assumed ‘Justice’ was referring to police officers that get railroaded by media and the mob without evidence wrong doing and before a fair trial. Largely unoffended by Love and Unity running around out there, just struggled remembering who was who with some duplicates. ‘Matter’ was a conundrum for me though, but suppose a human body is just a accumulation of atoms, so technically that label isn’t inaccurate I suppose...

Neither of those two things are related. Why connect them?

I disagree. Why dont we just play ball instead of constantly trying to find new ways to make social statements before, after and during a game. I do not believe it furthers anything.
If they put some of that energy into improving their game, they would probably play alot less sloppy.

I agree totally that is all I am saying. If players want to express their political and social views outside of the game then go for it that is your right. For instance the Milwaukee Bucks were the first team to start the boycotting for racial equality. Now that they have lost and have plenty of time to work on race relations and justice have you seen or heard one peep out of them? No. Why? Because the cameras aren't there and they are too busy planning their vacations while living in their mansions being oppressed by America.

Dabo believes that the Clemson football players should use their platform (i.e., being football players on the #1 ranked team in the nation and on TV every week) to help with changing perspectives of people on these issues. If Dabo and the coaching staff support them (obviously the Clemson University and Athletic Department leadership support them, as well) then why should you care?
Does it ruin your viewing of the game or was it confusing because you didn't know the players numbers or something else?

No it ruins the game because it is sports not politics.Do you turn on CNN to get your sports news?Then why the hell would anyone turn a game and expect to get political news and updates? We will just agree to disagree but one day you will understand what is going on here. Well if you are a liberal you won't.

They did play ball and we won. I assume you were watching the same game that I was.
I don't think the Clemson football team playing football is really your issue based on what you say. So again, why are you trying to connect them?

Acknowledging and letting it bother you is the only issue with any of it. Can’t stand the subject myself, but my God, people give it so much unnecessary power.
