Sure you do. I’ve been involved with more than 3,000 court cases there junior. And you might want to check to what lies the DA said that got him in trouble and proves he will lose this case

I don't have as much experience with court cases as you, but I did watch a good bit of Matlock growing up.

Oh boy

I give Pruitt credit for this. Sometimes just listening can go a long way.

"Obviously right before the players came back we had a lot of circumstances that had happened throughout our country, that everybody was aware of," Pruitt said on Thursday. "We started really with just sitting down with our team and talking about it. Giving the floor to a lot of our players to share experiences, so that everybody within our program would have a better understanding.

"From a communication standpoint, in my lifetime, this is the first time I can ever remember, with all the things that are going on, not only from our country but from really our world, there is conversation on how to put measures in to create change.

Hmmmm. What a novel idea!

 

[Matt2496]

It just got really interesting in here.

Grabbing the popcorn...

 

[volfanhill]

Nah

 

[allvol123]

How? They not going out in White Communities terrorising people or destroying your communities..

Is reading difficult. The name of the group singles out a race. Replacing one type of racism with a new type of racism is not a winning formula.

 

[Dumbledorange]

I love Moose! Excellent point he makes. The funny party is all these guys that loved Pruitt and his Coaching Staff are now having to change their minds because they are afraid they are snowflakes! So hilarious to me.

I love this entire group that CJP has drawn together. Incoming recruits and frosh players, coaches with integrity and aggressiveness, it's the complete package.

F===ing Finally!

Well, I don't need to see the data (which I would be willing to debate with you given that African Americans are in the minority) all I need to see is the pain and anguish of black people in this community. That is the point that is consistently lost on you and everyone that is responding negative to this thread. Clearly, the African-American Student Athletes at the University of Tennessee feel compelled to do something. It is not fake to them, their pain and outrage is not phony. It is real. You can see it when they marched. So why you can decry stats and fake news, you cannot or should not disregard true human emotions. Especially for people that you cheer on. If you know police brutality is an issue, support them for no other reason that you know it to be true. Let them feel your understanding and compassion. Life really can be that easy. Its called empathy.

I agree with the pain and anger in the black community that you see ,and we all see and have seen on TV for years . Unfortunately youve never seen a white man get killed on TV by the police . So understandingly you can't see the angrish of all the white families. See I think the police have been set up since 9-11 to be a police state ,so I am with the reform the police policies..

People know, especially oppressed people, that listening is the only entry port to their grievances.

Like many of you, I've heard the same thing BLM is a terrorist organization. But I was more interested in who profits from that. Is it truly the black community? I think Pruitt is referencing black initiatives, not the organization. But at any rate this is what I found.
1. go the the website, proceed as though you're going to make a donation I did a screen shot so you could see for yourselves.
View attachment 287471

2. You proceed to make that donation. Notice term (2), you are directed to "ActBlue" for the payment:

3. Now we need to know what the yearly expenditures are for them. Be mindful, legally this has to be reported. Here's where it gets good.

I'm going to write an email in a few days to the AD with this info and we will see. I encourage anyone who feels similarly to do the same.

There's really no excuse for a public institution to raise money for a political activist group. Even if you don't think it is an extremist organization.

There are plenty of charities dedicated to specifically raising money for black Americans. To forgo those charities to give money for political activists is pretty shameful.

 

[allvol123]

I don’t think people are making the distinction between the statement “black lives matter” and the organization BLM. It’s a genius name on their part because they can use it as a weapon to smear opponents of their org as racist

And it is exactly what they are doing

Who the F is being oppressed? Good lord you white guilt libs are embarrassing

A “BLM type organization” does not necessarily mean BLM directly.

 

[Purple Tiger]

Late to the party. SIAP.

I love the black jerseys. I like the look and the feel of the team in them. I am not a traditionalist.
Two issues with this plan:
1. It should worn the week before against Arkansas even though it isn't a home game because we play on halloween. How many other teams have an orange and black option for a halloween game? Perfect match, imo.
2. Choose a better 'charity' to support. Best if politics stays as far away from sports as possible.

Princeton.

 

[TNVOLNAVY]

All these white guys in sports have been put on notice, you fall in line and align with the radical BLM or you are in big trouble.

Pretty close to be an indentured servant wouldn’t you say?

 

[allvol123]

Unfortunately they're being cornered into this more than anything.

It speaks more to our societal problems. The fact people fear voicing honest opinions is very disturbing.

That said, I will be withholding financial expenditures for UT sports if this message is what I think it is. Because money is the one way to break this.

Be mindful, I did learn this in the process of documenting. There is a difference in "Black Lives Matter Charities, and BLM" You'll need to get clarification which they are doing. The Black lives Matter Charities have nothing to do with the "BLM" group.

OkSU and Syracuse, too.

 

[theFallGuy]

...and anyone else that supports that racist, police hating organization Black Lives Matter. Demand a refund on your tickets, do not donate to UT and contact any business that advertises with Tennessee football and tell them if they advertise with UT football you will boycott them. Call in on sports talk shows and demand they step down.

uhhhh no I won't be doing that

 

[CagleMtnVol]

So if I get one of these at auction should I just cut out the middle man and make my check to the Dimocrat National Committee?

I'm sick and tired of people being accused of having no empathy. You cannot hope to fix a problem you can't even define with data and statistics.

When all this is over, you will have convinced yet another generation of black children they have no chance to succeed in life because you let crooked political activism make millions convincing them of a problem that does not exist. You have the anti-black community opinion. Not the ones telling black people they have the freedom and ability to do what they want without fear of murder and oppression, which is the truth.

 

[Purple Tiger]

OkSU and Syracuse, too.

Syracuse is orange and blue. And since OKSU wears so many different colors, you can't bet for sure they'll be wearing orange and black on Halloween.
