Anonymous Coward User ID: 72272990 United States 12/17/2016 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sounds like a gang-bang and not the players involved are suspended and the other players don't like it... Ugh Quoting: TheToolMan The entire Minnesota football team said Thursday that it is boycotting all football activities, which could include its bowl game, until it gets satisfactory answers from the university about the suspension of 10 players. The school suspended the players Tuesday after an internal investigation into a sexual assault case. Police declined to arrest or charge any of the players, but the school suspended them based on its own standards for conduct. The team's players said they haven't ruled out skipping the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27 against Washington State in San Diego. They asked the bowl's committee to be patient while they work through the situation. "The boycott will remain in effect until due process is followed and the suspensions for all 10 players are lifted," senior receiver Drew Wolitarsky said, reading from a prepared statement while flanked by all of his teammates. "We further request that (President Eric) Kaler and (athletic director Mark) Coyle (apologize) and demand that these leaders are held accountable for their actions. This decision for the players to take this stance is not easy, but important to preserve the integrity of the program and ourselves." The university announced the suspensions Tuesday night without disclosing why. The incident at an off-campus apartment in September led to three-game suspensions of four of the players earlier this season. Another six were added to that list this week after the internal investigation for reasons that remain unclear. A joint statement issued by Kaler and Coyle on Thursday night said the school's decision was "based on facts and is reflective of the university's values."

One who stands in solidarity with his team in the face of injustice? Or something else? |
