I saw a handful of other Nike schools with it yesterday. It’s cool to see the entire team with it.

If this bothers you the kids on the team probably wouldn’t want your support anyways

I have been so upset with the political and social approach that pro sports have taken. I watched about five minutes of an NBA playoff game a while back and noticed no names on jerseys and having all kinds of different slogans on them. Then there were all the court graphics. Couldn't watch it. I really feel such things as religion, sports, etc. should be kept clear of political stuff. I for one have used sports as a way to get away from the political BS over the past four years or so.

However, I am fully aware of the movement and don't really oppose what is trying to be accomplished. I just think pro athletes can get media attention anytime they want on an individual basis to express their views. Just don't force it on the viewers during the broadcast of a game.

Getting into amateur athletics was inevitable I guess. The approach taken here with having "equality" on the jerseys, in addition to the names, is a more reasonable approach and I do not really have a problem with it. After all, it is 2020 and the world is different in so many ways.

was pleased and surprised to see equality rather than the buzzier, less-defensible "equity"

Equality isn’t political.

Equality isn’t political.

Think I clarified that in my last paragraph.

This seems to be against affirmative action

seems like a good place to drop this here
