Just kidding. I’m sure Coach Altman is 100% behind Colin Kaepernick’s use of free speech and athletics to bring attention to racism in America, now that the big money is too.
Of course a few years ago Altman’s views were a little different. From the Oregonian:
More like Nike burned UO. Good on them to push freedom of expression for athletes, even if self serving. Sometimes you have to sacrifice everything, because UO pays people to spy on their athletes social media accounts and can yank scholarships based on what they post.
I just learned UO hosts Game Day for ESPN free of charge. How much hidden expense does UO end up paying indirectly for this large cultish party ? I suppose Frohnmayer would claim it is the price UO must pay to keep the O a “hot brand”. The City of Eugene meter maid is standing by outside the PLC licking his chops.
