IU football to debut social justice logo on uniforms

...BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The Indiana Hoosiers are taking a stand for social justice.

The football Hoosiers will debut a social justice patch on their uniforms for the duration of the 2020 season.

The fist logo, designed by the Mark Cuban Center for Sports Media and Technology, features a variety of words including love, united, justice, equality, and human rights.

IU Athletics wanted to highlight its concerns over racial injustice and inequality while promoting positive change...

LMAO! Mark Cuban and human rights in the same statement. That’s too funny.

I think this logo is essentially a metaphor for why politics is so contentious. I am absolutely 100% on board with the goals of "love, united, justice, equality, and human rights." However, that does not mean that I necessarily agree with any particular policy that might be proposed to achieve those goals. Unfortunately, I also know that the people behind these types of things never seem to be able to understand the difference, consequently, they become self-righteously convinced they are fighting against "hate", etc. if anyone disagrees with their policies.

Wait. Why doesn’t it say death to Trumpers? You’re not a proper anti-racist and ally of PoC unless you call for death to Trumpers.

If those were really the goals why should it condone violence against the people they disagree with?

I don't think that patch will do much more than provide a good target for opposition tacklers.

How much did this patch design cost?

Probably not more than the all the logo'ed face masks.

I got my two that IU sent me lol.

Apparently I'm not donating enough to IU this year!

Apparently I'm not donating enough to IU this year!

Same here, although I did recently get an email from IU's Vice President for Equity, Diversity and Multi Cultural Affairs noting recent initiatives such as the Racial Justice Research Fund, IU Anti-Racist Agenda, the IU Pandemic Health Disparities Fund, Black Philanthropy Circle and Queer Philanthropy Circle, and the University Naming Committee. I could, of course, support these initiatives by donating to their "IU Equity Fund".

We got some with the PFW logo after contributing to a scholarship.

With masks, having black as a primary school color is a good thing.

Ahhh, part of a more focused campaign.

I also received the email from the VP for Equity, Diversity, and Multi Cultural Affairs.

Still haven't opened the checkbook for IU this year.

One of my co-workers, an adjunct professor at IUPUI, proudly sported his IU branded mask when I went to guest lecture at his class yesterday.

I just wore my lowly, plain, non-IU-festooned mask.

It was weird to see the classroom with most of the seats pushed to the back. A handful were dutifully spaced apart from each other, and there was a plexiglass shield between the podium and the students.

At the end of class each of the students came to the front and retrieved paper towels and cleaner, and wiped down the individual desk/chair seats they used.

The class was a hybrid, with about six attending on zoom, and the handful in-person in the classroom.

I politely declined to answer the questions that might have been related to the topic of this thread, as they were outside the scope of the day's presentation.

You've been on campus more than I have then!

...and this helps confirm that my kids will continue to attend private Christian colleges.

Good Lord, they are just words on a uniform. You can twist them to fit an agenda i guess.

More "mostly peaceful protestors".

I guess they are "mostly peaceful protestors" if it is not your business, property, or life the burn, loot, murder crowd is destroying.
