The NAACP and Hakeem Jeffries are calling on Black athletes to boycott entire states like Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina over redistricting.
They want these young men to forfeit their education, NIL earnings, and professional careers over politics.
They are using young Black men as chess pieces and asking them to destroy their lives.
These people are sick and twisted.
@jasonwhitlock These players only have short time to make money for themselves and families or trying to get to next level. Some politicians don’t mind you missing paychecks and have shown this no check during Covid, TSA, Military and other shutdowns, but want your support.
The NAACP has called on all black high school athletes to reject enrolling in state schools in states that suppress black voters. This is another example of how outdated the organization is and how desperate they are for attention.
ICYMI -- North Texas coach Doug Marshall came to UNT in the summer of 2022 aiming to build a power.
A landmark season shows UNT is well on its way.
How'd he do it?
The answer is a whole lot simpler than one might think.

@EricLDaugh Sad Jeffries feels that way- he has no problem shutting down jobs and people’s pay for those jobs just like shutting down Government jobs and checks to Federal workers.
🚨 WOW! Jesse Watters just PUMMELED Temu Obama Hakeem Jeffries for trying to get young black athletes to BOYCOTT SEC athletics programs because of GOP redistricting
"It's SLIMY, and BETRAYAL of an entire generation of black people! He lost a court case FAIR at the Supreme Court, cried racism, now he's trying to PUNISH all of these innocent people who have NOTHING to do with redistricting!"
"Young black athletes in the south whose dream it is to go to University of Alabama, Ole Miss. He's trying to SHAME them into not pursuing their dream!"
"You go to a school like this, you get a shot at the NFL, you get a first round draft pick, and then you could spend as much money as you want on your mother."
"That's the greatest story in America!"
"What he's doing is he's saying, 'I want you, who've worked your life, to get recruited to go to one of these schools, to maybe even play for a championship at Death Valley. First round draft pick, I want you to THROW IT AWAY.'"
Temu Obama is a disgrace.
@cartierfamilyZ Just glad both care. Problem has existed before Obamacare and politicians did not want insurance reform or pharmaceutical companies hit with price reductions.
Work Horses of the Week!
Good luck to Omar Penaloza, Markell Jennings, Sylvester Sims, & O’Ryan Croaker as they compete today at the State Track Meet in the 4x200.
Go make history.

How do you totally rebuild a roster in 10 weeks? At Oklahoma State, Eric Morris is attempting an incredibly ambitious Year 1 flip.

The NBA Players Association @TheNBPA just released released three tiers of officials

Tier 2: Solid performers
Tier 3: Needs improvement
Texas Tech announced Tuesday that it has added New Mexico to its 2027 football schedule to replace the recently canceled game against North Texas.
It will be the first meeting between the schools since 2012, when the Red Raiders won 49-14.
@E_Ward18 had 5 catches for 90 yards and 3 touchdowns in the win.
Victor Wembanyama blocks Anthony Edwards despite his arm being held behind the back by Rudy Gobert, then Anthony Edwards grabs Wemby's jersey, preventing him from running on transition offense (with replays).
Wemby is upset about the no foul calls
WTF REFS
@MichaelNIXG Tax payers should not be paying Catholic Charities when other Churches or denominations have local and global missions they fund themselves
Trump has caused OUTRAGE by canceling an $11 million dollar contract with Catholic Charities.
HHS says that since fewer migrants are in Federal care, the contract isn't necessary.
Catholic Charities claims they still need the money.
Should Trump fund the contract or not?
🚨Construction worker drops truth bomb on NC teachers’ union “sick-out” today:🚨
“I work in construction. My son’s school is closed because teachers called out to protest in Raleigh. I don’t get paid if I don’t show up — no work, no paycheck.
Just talked to his teacher. She admitted they’re getting full pay tomorrow while marching.
I’m done. These entitled folks don’t deserve another dime in raises. As a taxpayer, I’m saying: end the pensions for government workers too. I have none. I grind 10-hour days, 6 days a week. No safety net. Why should they?
Teachers: do your job or find another one. Our kids come first — not your rally.”
Paul Locklear (and thousands of working parents nodding along)
