For racists and simple-minded nationalists it’s a great idea. Oafs.
Sarcasm I hope. Otherwise, it's dumb. Some of the best players in the league right now are from overseas.
Man, I really wish our universities were in the business of maximizing profits for shareholders. They could shitcan every worthless Marxist.
Absolutely not sarcasm. Most of those foreign NBA players did not come through the college route. Regardless. I am for making sure our universities support US athletes. If you don’t like that fine. But that is my opinion.
Racists? How many athletic scholarships to foreigners are going to non-Europeans? I have no data but can about guarantee this would hurt Europeans and Australians the most.
Besides, it’s a question worth asking, along the lines of H-1B visas: at what point do we ask why American institutions aren’t for Americans first?
Uh huh. Yeah, that's your opinion all right. Guess you didn't care for Big Z coming here either huh?
If I go out and get players and say 8 are from American, who the hell are you to tell me who else I can't get? As long as they go through proper immigration channels, why do you care?
It is dumb, just like everything else going on in government these last 4 weeks. Another way to keep immigrants out of America.
What we need to see is doing away with scholarships for any kid that gets NIL. Why the hell do they get to double dip when that money can be used to help other kids get through college?
If it isn't a business, stop paying coaches like it is a business. It seems that this type of talk is always directed at players.
Hate causes people to do some of the dumbest things possible.
I think there was some exposé on Australian punters that was published in San Antonio’s newspaper recently so maybe this is fallout from that. Like they were misrepresenting their bios, claiming they hadn’t been to college when they had, something like that.
Who knows, most everything politicians do is for show. Probably won’t go anywhere.
He was way better than he showed while he was here. Since he did come here, I am not going to say we shouldn’t have done it. But, there are plenty of awesome athletes in the US. I don’t think we ‘Must” go out of the US to find them. If Pope decides to do it, I am still going to cheer for whoever is here.
Using 8 as a baseline, that would mean the majority or close to it of each major sport at a taxpayer sponsored public university would be foreign. You don’t think that’s worth caring about?
Simmer down, Frances. It’s just a discussion.
Imagine MLB only allowing 2 Latin American players, they’d be called racist
If you’re right that could be devastating. How could they recover? Oh yea. They could not be so sensitive and be confident in who they are and what they stand for.
I’m not racist so if anyone calls me racist I don’t get too concerned.
