Jesus did people even read the post?

She was not the one bringing any of it up, her coach was forcing her to participate in a specific political protest to be on her team.

That has nothing to do with sports and so it doesn't make sense to punish for it.

So long as you have the rule "Players should be free to kneel if they choose to as a form of self expression/protest" you by definition pretty much have the rule, "specific political self expression can't be mandatory for participation on a team." because if it were the coach would have to advocate kneeling before a player could kneel.

Put simply: You shouldn't be able to discriminate in sports due to political party, which is explicitly what is going on here. Anybody who thinks "No, political discrimination is cool." You understand that would mean it would be ok for a southern school to be equally cruel to their liberal students, right?

I don't understand some of you. Like how can you not see 1 second in front of you to the negative consequence of advocating for a stance of "coaches punishing those they politically disagree with should be allowed".
