4. The boycott of these institutions must be omni-racial... its a society issue.

I know that the athletes and their families and supporters are the logical place to START, but this situation is not going to change one bit until the financial pain gets to be too much for the donors to abide.

Power cedes NOTHING, it only adds to its reach unless its greedy hands are struck down by the righteous and the just. Boycotts of the SEC are a start for sure, and I cannot understand for a second the mindset of attending a southern football factory, even if they are getting an NIL deal and some payment.

IN a lot of ways, accepting the Name, Image and Likeness money and turning a blind eye to the institutions of the south and their march back to segregation and Jim Crow America as they "take their country back" (just like they SAID) makes you a special kind of enabler to power. There are VERY derogatory names for that kind of behavior...
