The recent statement released by Texas Longhorns athletes across multiple sports included a request for the athletics department to donate .5 percent of earnings to black organizations and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Last Thursday, Tennessee announced a plan to wear black jerseys during this year’s game against Kentucky and then auction off those jerseys to benefit the Black Lives Matter movement.
Texas should do the same thing, and there is some evidence that players support the idea — junior Jack linebacker Joseph Ossai tweeted his thoughts on the matter Thursday evening and senior offensive guard Tope Imade suggested that it isn’t a new idea on the Forty Acres.
