Ah the movement of ignorance and false statistics has not evaded the hill top

A couple of gems for quotes in that article.

Coda Boyce wore a shirt that read "#BlackAtSMU" to the game, and knelt during the anthem.
"I feel like coming from an African American background -- I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, which is a predominantly black city -- that I get tired of seeing my black brothers and sisters dying from injustices and unjustified reasons," Boyce said.

After the Tulsa shooting I can see that happening.

My two cents: bunch of drama queens but generally don't pay attention to the band so kind of a "who cares"

I agree.

The TCU band was so much more into the game tonight. I don't know what has happened to ours but something needs to change.

Probably is a positive for recruitment.

They did not do it last week at the Liberty game. So like I said just probably a reaction to the Tulsa shooting which was not a joke. Nothing wrong with that. Probably need to delete this thread before it turns really ugly towards those students peacefully demonstrating imo.

Kneeing for the anthem is the most harmless protest anyone could do. Move on.

I don't think it's going to get ugly. Honestly every time somebody kneels I just think they're big drama queen. Like honestly, I have yet to hear something positive come out of this other than give media ratings. This doesn't do anything in reality besides that. I just wish it wasn't our members because I had some respect for the band, now it's just another eye roll.
