UNDBIZ Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 Unless I missed it, they did not broadcast the anthem on TV/streaming. I wish Schloss had treated this more like the bullying incident Rumors are less likely to lead to pulled donations.

I am not aware of any repercussions for the players that may choose to kneel vs those that choose to yell at the end of the anthem. What is their punishment if they kneel this afternoon? The players won't likely feel any affect from their actions directly. Like I said I am indifferent to anthem kneelers and people are allowed to believe what they want in regards to kneeling. Some of the people who are not fans of it may be alumni, represent corporations, and own businesses and it certainly is their decision whether they want to be associated with or contribute to this activity.....from the sounds of things it has not gone over very well in Fargo and the Team Makers are feeling it in their pocketbook. UND Hockey is counted on to generate revenue, sponsorships, and contributions to help fund the non revenue generating sports. So what happens if some of those funds shrink or dry up? Like I said, it won't be the hockey teams that feels the pain first. It will be the other programs that suffer first and would be on the potential chopping block first. The athletes on scholarship in those sports would be next. Maybe an assistant in the athletic directors office or coaches office loses hours or their job. If enough money disappears maybe the team loses their chef, maybe the facilities they enjoy don't get updated, maybe the stick budget shrinks, cost of living stipends shrink. It will be the athletes 2-4 years down the road that will feel the Law of Unintended Consequences...or maybe all the alumni and other contributors just shrug their shoulders and continue on business as usual.

UNDBIZ Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 I did notice it looked like there wasn't much interlocking of arms by the rest of the team.

There is no immediate response. If this happened infront of fans at home I'm sure there would be plenty of people yelling at them to stand up. They don't have to deal with it until they do it at home with fans in attendance.

Legislators are in Bismarck for orientation/ organization session. Apparently lots of "chatter in the hallways" on the topic (as well as the similar 'SU incident). One comment heard by the caller was that higher ed is already over-funded. He implied that this incident could possibly initiate talks regarding future funding. Obviously, no decisions, just chatter. But serious chatter by people that actually hold some cards. Perhaps those legislators need to be named since cutting funding for the states two largest universities because players on their sporting teams kneeled for the anthem would be a ridiculous overreaction.

Little late on the drive-by one liner but.... To actually compare these two things and the symbolism they represent, history and purpose is at best IGNORANCE. 1

Both have professional aspirations, so maybe to show that they are serious about change agree to donate a certain amount of their signing bonus to organizations that support the cause. It would certainly be noticed if a pro athlete donated half of their signing bonus right out of the gate, and it wouldn't be offending anyone they are trying to convert or educate. Money is certainly one avenue, but I have no opposition to athletes being vocal about where they stand. Its all about their approach. Be creative and find a way that actually brings people closer together. From my point of view, this generates way more discussion about kneeling that racial equality; sooo what is being accomplished?
