Sports and boycotts go hand-in-hand.
While boycotting sporting events or teams is not always an effective way to create change, it certainly makes a statement.
Minnesota football players made a statement Thursday when they announced a boycott on football activities because 10 teammates were suspended last week. The team said the boycott will be in effect until players are given due process and suspension is lifted for all 10 players.
Minnesota has not given reason for the suspensions or facts surrounding the case, citing student privacy laws.
