@LegendOfWinning Nothing when this publicly elected official was assassinated by the conservatives

They are treating this man like he was a war hero, my goodness this administration is a joke

This is wildly illegal under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

@Geiger_Capital How dare he serve the public without getting rich off it?!?

@elizabe03477715 @abhornUCRedu Yes it is very essential to create an environment for college athletes to thrive without systemic barriers in order for the well being of athletes to progress and for athletes to succeed in the best way possible

It is absolutely essential that we create an environment for college athletes to thrive without systemic and structural barriers. Seeing the treatment of current students fighting against stereotypes, racial stigmas, etc. shows that we are not there yet. #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu

Sports can be an effective instrument for improving society. As highly esteemed individuals on their campuses and in their local communities, student athletes have a unique chance to use their platforms and voices to push for positive social change. #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

@mguzm083 @abhornUCRedu I think it's unfair that Universities take advantage of athletes monetarily by promising a free education in return, an education that these athletes can barely use.

Athletes have experienced different difficulties due to the commercialism in colleges that limit athletes on their educational opportunities and their right of freedom That's how association's justified the critics of the violation of the athletes rights. #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu

It's outrageous to witness the NCAA's relentless efforts to avoid fairly compensating student athletes, especially after high profile lawsuits. They persist in doing the bare minimum under the guise of maintaining amateurism. #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu

@ggonz137 @abhornUCRedu I agree! If you're going to treat athletes like employees then let them leave to another school if their current school they are attending is not giving them a "right fit."

Although more relaxed, NCAA still makes it somewhat difficult for student athletes to be able to transfer. Since schools treat athletes like employees, they should also be treated like employees when they want to play somewhere that's better for them. @abhornUCRedu #UCR150

@mguzm083 @abhornUCRedu One of the symptoms of CTE are impulse control problems. Many bad decisions athletes that play contact sports exhibit could be traced back to their CTE. Some athletes lives have been ruined forever just because of their lack of impulse control from CTE.

Concussion is one of the most severe consequences that athletes are being exposed to or that can experience. Some of the consequences of concussion that athletes could have are learning disabilities or mental problems that can affect their future #UCR150 @abhornUCRedu

Concussions always cause permanent damage to the brain. If you have ever played any contact sports before in your life, chances are that damage is still there. Many current and past college football players suffer from CTE. #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

There are many schools getting away with violating the policies provided by Title IX. Today we see a lot of schools invest more money into Men's sports instead of Women's sports. Even if their Women's programs hold more vanity than the Men's programs. @abhornUCRedu #ucr150

@AlexCruz153153 @abhornUCRedu It is terrible that we still have issues of gender disparities in the sports world. Especially the instances that certain schools get away with going against the policies of Title IX yet it goes unchecked.

Title IX was created for educational institutions who receives federal funding, provide equal opportunities for their female athletes. But in our current college sports, we are seeing numerous disparities with our female athletes #ucr150 @abhornUCRedu

@Lexie1945351 @abhornUCRedu I think we need to treat student athletes more like students that play sports at their universities, and have less workouts and practice. They already are talented because of their dedication beforehand and excessive amounts of practice is already redundant after while.

@abhornUCRedu How can we better support student-athletes in balancing academics and sports? And what steps can be taken to improve mental health resources for these athletes? #ucr150

@abhornUCRedu College coaches coming to the homes of highly recruited athletes and selling them the false prophecies that they will get much playing time in their programs only for the coaches to turnaround and not hold their promise is predatory to college athletes. #ucr150

@BuclingBum17 Athletes need to be compensated more for how much revenue they produce for their Universities. Some Universities have notoriety, have a high enrollment, and have many nice amenities to provide to their students simply because of their athletics.

Many NCAA students/players endure hungry nights, and face the uncertainty of non-renewable one-year scholarships. They're often deprived of commercial opportunities despite their contributions. Isn't it time for equitable treatment and support? #ucr150 @annnaacha

@annaaacha @abhornUCRedu The NCAA being originally founded to protect the well-being of student athletes is ironic when they have put in rules to discourage student athletes from transferring from one school to another. This can impede the growth of an athlete's career. #ucr150

@joann88899 @annaaacha I agree with you, many of my friends playing sports at D1 universities mostly complain about how rigorous training is and how they really have no time for academics due to the amount of time they have to spend on the field and in the weight room.

One thing that I found interesting was that even though the NCAA was created to support the well-being of college athletes, college athletes are not allowed to unionize. They are often times poorly compensated and overworked which compromises their well-being. #UCR150 @annaaacha
