USA Today also endorses Biden so they have an agenda.   F@ck USA Today.   

USA Today is also affiliated with Horn Sports. I hope this doesn't mean f@ck Horn Sports.

It does if Horn Sports endorses Biden!

LOL! Christine Brennan is a sports writer who has not endorsed anyone. You do realized that just because you work for a company or has an affiliation like Horn Sports doesn't mean you support the same candidate. Christine may have been wearing a MAGA hat when she wrote this story as far we know.

Isn't that statement by Heartland incorrect? Has the band been to any game this season?

Without the band present, UT officials are likely to keep playing recorded fight songs and “The Eyes” from the stadium speakers

I was talking about the statement on their tweet that said "Texas band won't play at Baylor game due to 'Eyes of Texas' controversy" That is a patently false statement. They haven't played at any games this year.

Had they played at a game this bullshit would have started before the UTEP game.

With roots in racism, 'Eyes of Texas' should be banned. So why isn't Texas listening to its Black students?

College football discriminated against blacks for decades. Maybe it should be banned or boycotted.

Yahoo article extremely slanted.   Didn’t know anyone was convicted of George Floyd’s death yet.  Yahoo sure has saying Floyd was murdered by the policeman holding him down. Did Yahoo get a copy of the autopsy report?  Do we know for sure the fact Floyd was high on a drug that can kill you all by itself had nothing to do with his death?  
 

The hold the cop used was legal.  Mr. Floyd had resisted arrest.  Mr. Floyd was high on drugs.  Mr. Floyd presented himself as a danger to police.  But Yahoo knows for an absolute fact the cop murdered Mr. Floyd.   Think I will wait until a trial makes that determination.

Here's an article that states the lyrics to "I've Been Working On The Railroad" are deeply racist, but never presents any proof. It's all conjecture as the article goes along. This article uses words like "theory", "believe" and "possible"

The saying by Robert E. Lee that the South's eye were upon you simply meant don't dishonor yourself we are watching. That same message was what University President William Lambdin  Prather admonished Texas students upon graduation. "The eyes of Texas are upon you," meaning that the state of Texas was watching and expecting the students to go out and do great things.

The media likes to spin their propaganda as fact but will use words like "theory", "believe", "possible", "ties to", "think"

Once your eyes are open you will see it happens a lot.

I thought that a number of the people who built the railroad were Irish.

You know the same Irish who also lived in Company houses and bought from Company stores. 

The same Irish who worked in subhuman conditions in meatpacking plants and stood in chemicals that destroyed their shoes and ulcerated their feet so they couldn’t work.

The same Irish who couldn’t leave the Company because they couldn’t ever pay off their debt. 

Were they free?

I’m 1/4 Irish, but sing The Eyes with 100% gusto!

Hook ‘em!
