I recently led a piece in Inside Higher Ed titled “Why America Needs College Football.” I am sorry for the hurt, sadness, frustration, fatigue, exhaustion and pain this article has caused anyone, but specifically Black students in the higher education community and beyond.

Is this the future? Is everything we say going to scrutinized by antiracists dreaming up crazy arguments about how others might be offended? Will we all have to publicly confess sins we never committed? This reads like something out some East German or Red Chinese gulag.
