Thanks for sharing this. Isn't that how Blacks got the priesthood? The powers that be were threatening BYU football?

Unfortunately this is going to become invisible in the coronavirus era.
I signed anyway.
I hope this stays in front of our minds once the virus is contained and hysteria resides.

They need more of this:

A big, highly visible, rainbow-color-attired mob in the stands of every sporting event (when those days return) would probably be the best visibility they could get. Maybe rather than taking a knee, they could take two knees and assume praying posture during the anthem.

I'm not in support of banning BYU from competition since it discriminates against them the same way they are discriminating against LGBTQ. What I think WOULD be a powerful message is if all schools said that we are happy to compete with BYU, but they will have to play on our campus where all are welcome. We will not subject our students, athletes, staff, faculty, or fans, to their hostile environment.
