Losing causes division, and we just lost to a team from a school that’s been FBS 1.5 years and has been rocked by 2 scandals/calamities so far this season (school not believing in COVID and Jerry Falwell Jr.’s relationship with his wife, or lack thereof, and the school’s finances).

Abd to make matters worse, we were 1-3 before that with a loss to Duke in *football.*

Edit: I also wonder how distracted the team is. Belichick claims to not know what the internet is. And old school coaches like Joe Pa (may he get what he deserves) didn’t let players have names on their uniforms until the team earned it. There’s an argument that tunnel version is extremely beneficial. We, on the other hand, have players with political statements on their jerseys. Many might argue whether it’s morally right or wrong, but purely from a maintaining a disciplined football team that has a tunnel vision focus on wins games perspective, I don’t think it’s helping, nor do I think it brings everyone together. IMHO, *from a purely football, individual expression perspective*, it’s analogous to the Miami teams between ‘80-‘01, only we forgot about the part of being good first. Whether or not it’s the right thing to do is up for debate, *but that debate is a different one than the point I’m trying to argue.* My post is purely from a “does it win games and bring team together” perspective, and something’s rightness or wrongness has no inherent connection as to whether it promote an atmosphere of winning games and bringing the team together.
