Are the last few pages of this thread essentially saying players with rebuplican views are not welcome at Nebraska?? I would never say my stance on somewhere like this but one thing I will say is that someone’s political views, as long as they aren’t some extremist, have little to 0 affect on my relationship with them and how I treat them. Especially a teammate considering there is one common goal. I would find it incredibly immature and petty if a player was deemed a no-go by the fans of a team for their political views which are not even remotely related to volleyball. Their coach is a republican so I guess he will need fired. |

I don’t really know her specific situation and haven’t even looked on her social media. I’ll have to judge that for myself but the only thing I’ve seen talked about on here is that she calls herself a patriot. Multiple posters saying anyone who calls themselves a patriot they don’t want to be on the team. That is absolutely insane if we are now narrowing down the recruiting process to only people with same views. well then respectfully you don’t know what you’re talking about. Took the time to go through her page... can someone point out to me the post that has gotten her labeled in here as an extremist ? Again I’m not saying I agree with her, but supporting one candidate over the other does not make someone an extremist. A snippet from the def of extremist “one who resorts to or advocates extreme action.” I looked through the comments and read the captions as well and saw nothing advocating for or taking extreme action on her part. Krause makes her political viewpoints clear on social media and because posters on here agree with her, it’s okay. Koerber does the same and is labeled as unwelcome. If she was an extremist, I would get it. But to me she just seems like a young girl who isn’t afraid to post who she’s voting for... that should be respected as it is when other players do so |

Your first sentence doesn't make any sense |

Just when I saw the word "patriot" on her bio, I knew. Couldn't even save her team from getting upset in the 2nd round who tf does she think she's saving she ain't no patriot Also looking at some of the people commenting on her...ahem...patriotic posts...interesting to see certain other D1 players commenting ok i'm done I don't want to get banned Ella May Powell...so sad. But I guess with a name like "Ella May" it should've been obvious |

Your first sentence doesn't make any sense I mean over 70 million people voted for that candidate and I wouldn’t say they are all extremists. Extremists on either side of the political parties never make become the nominee bc not many people agree with them even on their own side. There are some true extremists from that party and while I agree this candidate was certainly controversial and very unlikeable, their views lined up pretty evenly with that of a typical person from that party. Whatever don’t wanna talk ab politics on here but I just think some of the language being used to describe koerber has to do w posters individual views rather than unbiased opinions |

I don’t wanna get banned for this but she is absolutely an extremist. I don’t really know her specific situation and haven’t even looked on her social media. I’ll have to judge that for myself but the only thing I’ve seen talked about on here is that she calls herself a patriot. Multiple posters saying anyone who calls themselves a patriot they don’t want to be on the team. That is absolutely insane if we are now narrowing down the recruiting process to only people with same views. I suspect there are differing conservative vs liberal leanings on the team now. At least that's what I've heard. That used to be part of the college experience, meeting and interacting with people of differing views and backgrounds. Learning to respect others viewpoints. Keeping an open mind. Unfortunately many are labeling people they do not agree with as extremist. Coming to blows over a teammates political views? I would hope not, but if so college has changed, and not for the better. |

JOKE2020 (replacing the Harris/Biden sign) I would argue those are more extreme, but clearly not the worst. However, I think you labeling it as "supporting one candidate over the other" and "just a young girl who isn't afraid to post who she's voting for" is at least disingenuous. She could have done that without the above 3. Koerber is a high-profile athlete. It should be a concern for team chemistry. Particularly when you have teams sporting BLM patches and she is in a picture with the ANTIFA comment. |

If Hayley doesn't come back, does the World Herald continue to use her as their generic VB graphic?  |

ANTIFA definition: a political protest movement comprising autonomous groups affiliated by their militant opposition to fascism and other forms of extreme right-wing ideology. Labeling the opposing president as a representative of that sounds pretty extreme, but maybe it's just me. I am all for respecting other viewpoints, but her posts do not lead me to believe that we could have a rational productive conversation about her views (hopefully I am wrong!), and it would make me concerned for team chemistry as a potential recruit. |

Their coach is a republican so I guess he will need fired. Their coach is a Republican, not an insane person. Those posts are actual insanity. Exactly. It's more about how they exhibit it and how deep it goes. Cook is a conservative guy, but it's more about governance and economy and not social reasons. He's supportive of his players who overwhelmingly have different views than he does. I can't summarily say Koerber is too extreme to get along with the Husker roster, but some of her social media makes you wonder. Is she just a conservative that supported Trump as the Republican candidate, or is she a card carrying QAnon member? Ha. |

You maybe right on team chemistry. Country is in trouble for same reason. |
