Following Saturday’s Nebraska-Northwestern game — in which three Cornhuskers knelt for the National Anthem — a member of the University of Nebraska’s Board of Regents called for the players to be dismissed from the team.
In an interview with the Lincoln Journal-Star, Hal Daub — one of eight members of the Nebraska’s Board of Regents, which oversees the general operations of the university — said that the players “are not supposed to do things that create disparagement or negative implications.”
“They know better, and they had better be kicked off the team,” said Daub, the former mayor of Omaha.
In a follow-up chat with the Journal-Star Daub denied that he was calling for the players to be cut from the Corner. But he doubled-down on his overall take:
“They won’t take the risk to exhibit their free speech in a way that places their circumstance in jeopardy, so let them get out of uniform and do their protesting on somebody else’s nickel,” he said.
One of the players, Michael Rose-Ivey said at a press conference Monday that he’s been called racial slurs and received death threats on social media since his protest.
Some believe DaiShon, Mohamed, and myself should be kicked off the team or suspended, while some say we should be lynched or shot just like the other black people that have died recently. Another believed that since we didn’t want to stand for anthem, that we should be hung before the anthem before the next game. These are actual statements we received from fans.

The nerves of that ? . These schools make millions of dollars off the backs of those athletes and he has the gall to say something like that. Somebody needs to remind that fool that those players aren't being paid to be out there.

You beat me to it. Every person of color on that team should refuse to play until he's removed ala that cac in Missouri -
He better be careful being driven by emotion. He should know better. Those Edomites will have his ass ousted muy rapido if he ? up the paper. Only gonna take a collegiate star play to step up. Slighting our struggles again they are.

Lol. These are the same type of folks that complain America is becoming too sensitive and they are the same type of folks that complain about silencing, censorship, shaming, & guilting.
'Political correctness' isn't only when minority groups are offended. -

They take their Huskers something serious down there. They literally don't have anything else.
I was in NE when Danny Woodhead (he's from North Platte, NE) DIDN'T get drafted, and it was a huge deal that he MIGHT get drafted. Dude ended up signing as undrafted free agent and it was still news. ? was all over the local news TV channels -

Yeah my brothers play college ball they I know all about it -
I went to Lincoln after the huskers won on a ? blocked extra point, little 18 year old Will Munny had never seen anything party ? like that before. And then I went back to my small private college and never had another experience like that again in Nebraska.
The McDonalds drive through was a ? damn party and everyone was ? driving and nobody gave ? . -

These racist CACs need to start paying a penalty for their fuckery. Cats need to take their talents to an HBCU where they would be appreciated and welcomed. Division I football, (especially basketball,) wouldn't be ? if it wasn't for us.

Been out there. The Sistas only like white boys, Latinas Love Black men, White Women ? with whoever giving them pipe. Chill city though. Had some good.times. -
Here's the problem.
White people used slaves to make money.
Now we're slaves TO money.
Not one black player should play another snap if this board member thinks kneeling is more offensive than black men getting murdered in the streets by cops.
If it weren't for these football & basketball ? , their wouldn't be any scholarship money left for sports nobody cares about like LaCrosse, volleyball, swimming, etc.
