    If my profession was something the NCAA cared about, I would absolutely be rallying my coworkers to take action.

    There’s nothing easy about striking or protesting, and there will be some people who simply can’t, but you seem to just not believe in resistance at all. There is no no-risk path, but “First They Came” isn’t a message about just hiding out because standing up for someone else is risky.

      Again, it’s all well and good for you to tell other people to take risks you don’t have to take.

      What risks are you taking right now?

        This is a nonsense attempt at a gotcha. I have nothing to withhold from the NCAA and thus no leverage to apply. What answer would you even expect here?

        I’m going to keep bringing this up, because you’ve no doubt heard this poem many times in your lifetime, but what do you think “They Came For” is about? Because your answer to all of this just seems to be “it’s too hard, no one should do anything unless they’re personally impacted”. And it’s good you’re getting out, but you don’t need to justify it by pretending no one can do anything and no one should take any risks for their fellow man.

          It’s not a “gotcha.” You are calling for other people to take risks on your behalf. The least you can do is explain what risks you’re taking. It sounds out like the answer is none.
