NAACP to Black student-athletes: Take your talents elsewhere amid Florida anti-DEI efforts
Earlier this month, the University of Florida closed its Office of the Chief Diversity Officer, eliminating 13 full-time DEI positions and 15 administrative appointments. This came after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill called the Stop Woke Act last year, which prohibits the use of state funds for any DEI programs.

Oh, man. Now the shit will hit the fan. That's a ton of money going bye-bye, lol.
If those athletes leave. There's free education and bribes in Florida college sports
Believe it or not, not everything is about money. Minority students really do spend time thinking about personal safety when weighing college options.
That's everywhere, lol.
Might as well call it the "I'm a Massive Racist Bill" what a joke
It's time for a 'Stop Bigots Act' to keep idiots like Desantis from taking our country backwards
DeNazi is hellbent on turning Florida into a whites only club.
Seem fair to me. If these people care so much about diversity, they can pay for it themselves or do it on their own dime.
But let's be real: they don't care that much. They just wanted a cushy job with no responsibilities or room for failure.
Who are "these people?"
Is it true you have to suck 14 pink uncircumcised dicks a day for 88 days straight to join Rohm's Rangers?
DEI didn't put black students in sports. What the fuck is this headline?
The headline doesn't say that
The athletes have leverage with the schools and can help their fellow POC who are getting the shaft by the dissolution of the DEI initiatives.
The question will be if the athletes are going to use the leverage. But I can imagine that of you have choice between a Florida school and any other location.. athletes will weigh the nuveau racism of some states.
Why are you trying to project an unrelated narrative that you created?
