    1 thing I liked about NDSU football and its players/coaches from 2010-2019 during the title run. was that I saw ZERO political stances by anyone, literally nothing 1 way or another and I really used to enjoy that..

    You clearly don't know how to do analytics. Compare the number of violent crimes to the number of people killed and see what answer you get. My guess is you will not find any significance between race and people killed.

    Agreed. Players, coaches, businesses should keep their mouth shut about any political topic that is divisive. The only thing that will happen is half the people will hate them for it and nothing good will come of it.

    Why would I assume that people alleged to be committing a violent crime deserve to be met by the state with lethal force?

    Further why would I assume that the police only kill suspects who are alleged to have committed a violent crime?

    Maybe I might know a little something about how to do analytics.

    That's akin to saying your opinion doesn't matter. Which is the same "in my opinion " as saying that person doesn't matter.

    And how much more likely are they to commit crimes?

    It was refreshing. The only thing we had was Jack the OL that left wearing a pin to see trump.
    hell, even going to see Trump was poo pooed by coaches players as Non Political 100%.

    cats out of the bag now I'm afraid, it was a Great NON-POLITICAL , NO BULLSHIT RUN by NDSU...

    WELP, that thread went south quickly....

    The intent I had was that I wanted to communicate how impressed I was with how level headed the teams response has been. It hasnt denounced anyone who disagrees with them as racist, has been extremely positive, and has not attacked others viewpoints either. From my perspective it has been a "we have more in common than what sets us apart" whereas, seemingly every other organization seems to be decrying "if you dont 100% agree with riots, it means youre a brutal RACIST!"

    props to the organization for not tearing down others, but remaining almost exclusively positive
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS
