I just saw a video on Facebook, wherein it was asked, what if black athletes decided to turn down admission choices in schools whose states are gerrymandering black-held districts into oblivion. With NIL money available, would the top athletes decide to let political considerations dictate which schools they apply to? Frankly, I'm not convinced this might happen big time, as I expect most college age athletes are focused primarily on 1) honing their craft, and 2) growing up and experiencing adulthood with all those challenges and benefits.

Even if this was a thing- which it certainly isn't- where would they play ball other than California, Oregon or Washington. Kamala won 19 states but most are not football destinations and most don't have appreciable populations of African Americans

Every b1g school is where they would play

Trump's support among young black males has increased notably with every election since 2016.

Young black men were among the groups showing the largest rightward shift toward Trump in 2024 alongside young Latino men.

This must be why Trump is now the first U.S. president in 116 years to not be invited by the NAACP to their annual convention.

Does this have anything to do with the Trump DOJ's indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center for money fraud and funding the KKK?

NOPE

I mean if they are against gerrymandering than the entire northeast and west coast is off the lists too....
