This. I have my political views but also have a public job that requires non-political decision making. I don’t follow any political figures or political commentators because I want the public to be able to trust my decision making. Frost can easily stop following certain controversial people on Twitter, etc.

And like @BingoDingo said, create an anonymous account for Twitter. Just like I have for pron on Reddit. Separation of church and state...

Does Reddit have some kind of special pron that can’t be found free through various sites on the World Wide Web?

How can we persuade people to become right libertarians?

I’m old enough to to remember when part of what made the college experience special was the exposure to new and different perspectives and ideas.
Now it seems that social media has decided what opinions are valid and any dissenting voice is subject to “the cancel culture” backed by our Tech Oligarchs and their approved platforms. Woe be unto you who differ with the one-speak.
Our coaching staff deals with young people every day. I’d like to think they’re aware of social media, the distorted lens it views the world though, and would take appropriate steps to ensure their social media presence was as bland as our red zone offense.
But some responsibility lies with the young athletes that encounter an opinion or belief system which differs from their own. Show some maturity and establish a true dialogue: put the idea(s) on the table and examine them without emotional attachment. Try to understand the other person's perspective and how their ideas and values were shaped. Seek common ground and find out where your differences lie.
A little more dialogue and perhaps we’ll dial down the rhetoric a little and avoid situations where young people are “triggered” by a coach who wears a tee shirt with a media company logo on it.

I try to stay out of any and all political conversations - when I’m sober.
I remember a day when your political opinions were nobody’s business. Period

Wonderful prompt, OP! I believe this is an issue with many teams, but losing exacerbates the situation. I do know that Randolph has received racist messages from fans. That is unacceptable and could be a contributing factor. That hasn't inhibited for his love of the Huskers, however!!

I kind of have to be boring here and fall back on there really isn't any evidence that their political beliefs, assumed or known, has hurt Nebraska. Is it possible? Sure, but all kinds of things are possible.
