NCAA follows the NBA's lead by announcing that Student-Athletes will be Allowed to Wear Social Justice Statements on their Uniforms

[Franklin Pierce]

Following in the NBA's footsteps, the NCAA will allow student-athletes in all sports to wear social justice statements on their uniforms.

The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel said the decision announced Thursday will give players an opportunity 'to express support and voice their opinions.'

The back of the uniform, where a player's name is traditionally located, may feature names or words 'intended to celebrate or memorialize people, events or other causes,' the panel said. The names/words can vary by team member.

That is the key to all of our racial issues in the US; meaningless phrases on jerseys

So can a player put white lives matter? On their shirt?

Zuzu; "daddy, everytime a social justice phrase is used, a black person survives a weekend in Chicago".

George; " That's right Zuzu, that's right"

Hopefully some will wear US flag patches and thin blue line ones.

Hopefully some will wear US flag patches and thin blue line ones.

Hopefully they will just leave their names on the back of their jerseys.

There isn't such a thing.

I'll give a crisp $20 to the first player to put #whitepowerranger on theirs.

I'll give $50 to the first one to point out the REAL mass oppression and slavery still practiced by Arabs and the Chinese.

There isn't such a thing.

So,..a patch that expresses how it's unjust to have one at all?

That's valid. Sharing our feelings is good

Is "He Hate Me" allowed?

 

[Rickyvol77]

Gonna bet that “NCAA should pay athletes” won’t be one of the approved

 

[Stew Cook]

Is "He Hate Me" allowed?

Or "Nobody Likes Me".. I'm sure some people can relate to either of those.

Those arent opinions.

That's your opinion.

 

[allvol123]

That's your opinion.

No, your name is your name. Not a lot of room for negotiation there .

I'd bet you're from the everyone gets a trophy generation and thus likes this.

Didn't they ban players from putting Bible verse's on their uniform? I may be wrong?
