That's a tough one, folks. Yep, it's a thing that's going on. A big thing. But you can't talk about it without talking politics and race. So there's no good solution here. If I let people talk about it, that's good, because it's a big story in VT athletics, but if I let people talk about it, that's bad, because we delete topics about race and politics (and religion).

I guess what I would suggest is to find places on Facebook and Twitter and other forums where they're talking about it, if you'd like to see what people are saying, or express yourself about it.

We have chosen to land on the side of avoiding those types of topics here, because as sports fans, there's enough that divides us (jet sweeps!), and introducing politics, race, and religion only makes it worse.
