That Aggies comeback was epic, but let’s also fight for a comeback in our culture: college sports should be safe and affirming for ALL athletes. Queer, trans & nonbinary players deserve to compete without harassment or hate. Celebrate the win AND demand equality on and off the field.

DPS Trooper is pretty brave, throwing elbows at young men in a stadium. DPS is not so brave when it comes to situations like Uvalde or disciplining officers engaged in dereliction of duty or misbehavior. They sent this trooper home TODAY; will it be for the rest of the season? His entire career?
