Can someone explain to me like I'm 5, why in the actual fuck we have conference commissioners releasing statements on a court hearing not related to a university, academics or athletics in anyway shape or form?

TIA

It's the chic thing to do now. Give a boiler-plate statement so that you aren't accused of not caring, which thus makes you racist.

If he didn't say it then recruits would think everyone in the B1G is racist...and as a result, they would think that great, red blooded Nebraskans were racist. We should probably be thanking Mr. Warren, imo.

But for reals, this doesn't bother me at all and I don't see the issue.

The fact that people think you're a racist if you say nothing, even if you're just the type of person who doesn't want to be involved, is an issue.

I'm not one who thinks that every CEO, celebrity, public figure, etc. needs to make their support known regarding current events or politics, but to be fair this went down a couple miles from Minnesota's campus and the athletic teams in this conference are disproportionately comprised of African-American men. Couple that with Kevin Warren being a black man, I can see why he made a statement.

I was joking on that part, man. Just getting my chuckles in.

If Warren didn't put that out, no one would have thought he was racist. That's nonsense.

If I can imagine a grievance, it could plausibly happen, and therefore I am outraged. I almost got fired today because I didn't issue a statement. I mean I didn't but you could imagine that I could have been and is that the world you want to live in brother?

.........I don't care if it happened directly outside KW's office. Location couldn't be anymore irrelevant.

Chauvin was a shitty cop, Floyd was a morally bankrupt career felon/criminal. There was nothing racial about the circumstances other than that's the narrative everyone was force fed through all major media outlets for a fucking year.

The world is a better place with neither one on the streets anymore.

Kevin Warren needs to quit being a woke SJW and focus on his job, which as of late has yielded nothing but a conglomeration of fucked up athletics scheduling with no clear plan or direction.
