Thanks for the post. The more meaningful conversations the better for all.

Until they voice an opinion that isn't politically correct and then they are off the team and booted from school.

Outstanding that they are speaking out. I've never understood folks objection when athletes speak out (college or pro): "Shut up and just play ball." "Who asked you?" or the ultimate absurdity asking/demanding that the university take their scholarship away.

Speak out young men. Be engaged. true discussion leads to a better way forward.

3 thumbs up to the Wisconsin players.

I hold Ali, Jim Brown and others like them in high esteem not because of what they did in a boxing ring or on a football field. Instead, I think highly of them because of how they spoke out on issues that were important to them. While never a fan of LeBron James, I'm beginning to appreciate how he's speaking out
on local and national issues.

What does "isn't politically correct" mean?

Always nice to see good courage, these young men taking a stand despite possible consequences.

'Possible consequences' is a sad thought...would think that the issues that they're addressing would have been dead years ago.

Nigel's opinion isn't a popular one among a lot of Badger fans.. not saying that it's right, but it's true. Either way, he still seems to be a fan favorite.
