Certainly a great look for recruiting! Racists continue to inhabit every state and fan base in America. Every POC knows they run the risk of experiencing racism on every campus. Nebraska is not unique to that. I get that some people would like this to be an issue for Nebraska recruiting. We've had plenty of POC on the team despite those ill-wishes. People don't give these players the respect they deserve. They know what they're getting into, whether that's in Lincoln, Austin, Palo Alto or Seattle. All I can tell you is that fans yelling at black players during the national anthem is not a thing that happens on every campus. Or even most campuses.

Yes, isolated to this game but it was not just one person.

And yes, yes, I know this gets a great big news article about it because it's Nebraska volleyball and not some MAC school or something with 300 people in the stands. But still!

There was immediate pushback against it from the players, coach and University admin. But you're here saying it's going to adversely affect Nebraska recruiting. That seems more like projection than anything.

Kneeling during the playing of the anthem has become political.

All I can tell you is that fans yelling at black players during the national anthem is not a thing that happens on every campus. Or even most campuses. First of all they were not yelling at black players. They were yelling at athletes who were disrespecting the American flag, the anthem, law and order, and the people who love America and are a bit disturbed by people who do not seem to share that love. It would not have mattered if the offenders were white, yellow, brown, or pink. Perhaps this doesn't happen on other college campuses because there are few people there who haven't bought into the propaganda of the progressive society. There is no place like Nebraska!

Kneeling during the playing of the anthem has become political. It's always been political. That's the point.

That seems more like projection than anything. It certainly doesn't help. Doesn't it? Doesn't the response by the players, coach and admin show that we won't tolerate that at players on our court? I mean... our most recent recruiting class, signed just last week, isn't helping your case.

Well the Nebraska athletes disagree with this bs narrative you have created in your head. So you might want to find a new team because they don't want people like you supporting them.

Any suggestion that this is in any way unique to Nebraska or any other one school is ridiculous. If Nebraska has any fan reputation it’s that of being really friendly and generous to visiting teams. That guy represents ignorance not Nebraska. Surely any reasonable person recognizes that. If you don’t think that couldnt or wouldn’t happen in any arena in THIS COUNTRY I’ve got some real estate I’d like to talk to you about. It just so happens that it occurred there.

Certainly a great look for recruiting! mervinswerved is on to something. Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Florida, etc. have many racially motivated occurrences, and almost no non-white athletes go to universities in those states.
