We’re not sending our best and brightest to Congress, that’s for sure.
Then again, Mark Emmert’s probably kicking himself for not coming up with that first.

Look, this is clearly ridiculous but if it leads to Congress outlawing the University of Florida’s football program, frankly, I’m here for it.

“Rep. Buschon (R-IN) expressed a fear that the “Chinese Communist Party” may use college athlete NIL rights to their political advantage, which was the first time I had heard that concern.”
I do not know if he is right about this. But if not this would be one of the very few groups the CCP wouldn’t throw money at to gain influence.

So will Georgia get rid of the red in the uniforms? Or have the Commie Chinese Reds already infiltrated our glorious state university? BTW, I will happily wear a commie red t shirt for one million dollars.

Ok, I’m not gonna lie, I resisted comment because after reading the Senator’s post my first thought was “just think of all of the Chinese restaurants signing NIL deals to targets all across the country?”
I’m glad I’m 51, I’ll be gone by the time this kind of BS gains traction, lol. Well, I mean, gains traction in reality……..

Random story:
I bought a shirt in Ukraine about 20 years ago…. on the front it had Lenin’s head superimposed on a McDonald’s golden arches and said “McLenin’s” underneath.
On the back it said, “The Party is Over.”
I was never exactly sure what McDonald’s had to do with the message, or why I thought it was so funny, but it still makes me chuckle thinking about it.

To the Congressman’s defense, he couldn’t exactly pin NIL fears on the Mexicans. Gotta point somewhere, right?
