Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 630893, member: 780"] I was on campus at the time. Thank goodness you cleared the matter up by declaring the players were right and Ben was wrong. (That was sarcasm, in case you missed it.) How is "Ben won't let us play QB" a civil rights issue anyway? There were no winners in this. The players threw away their football careers and their scholarships so they could emulate John Carlos. It set the SU football program back on its heels for a good ten years. I didn't see anyone in this that was clearly wrong or clearly right. Erecting a statue to these guys is a monumentally stupid idea as it will offend a large sub-segment of the fan base. [/QUOTE]
