Two of the most discussed topics on this board of late are NIL and politics. Now NIL strikes me as a perfectly appropriate subject for an Ole Miss sports board, but politics?
I will admit that I jump into the political threads at times and, if you have read any of my posts, you probably know that I am an unabashed Republican who does not like Donald Trump, even though I voted for him twice.
What I find ironic about the relationship between NIL and politics is that this is first and foremost an Ole Miss sports board. And yet, the Trumpers on the board seem to believe that Democrats are nothing but ignorant scum, even though Ole Miss probably raises more money for its NIL from Democrats than Republicans. But I guess those people, who give generously to Ole Miss, are still the scum of the Earth as far as most Trumpers here are concerned.
I guess what I am questioning is whether we should just ban all political posts, mine included, on this forum? Because I care a Hell of a lot more about seeing Ole Miss succeed than two geriatrics running for an office for which they are both too old. Surely, there are better forums for those discussions. And I would hate to see any of the vitriolic posts on here alienate any potential givers to Ole Miss. After all, the State of Mississippi does us no favors and we need to attract money from both sides of the aisle. I know that I for one appreciate all the people who donate to Ole Miss, regardless of political affiliation.
