Rod Dreher* is opposed to "woke college football"

 There's never a right way to protest racism, is there? Dreher is warning that Southern football fans won't take well to LSU football players demonstrating for Black Lives Matter. 

It just seems to me that if you are a football player trying to build interest in and sympathy for Black Lives Matter, this is not the way to do it. In fact, it’s the way to energize opponents of BLM. And I have a sense that this is going to have some effect, perhaps not measurable, on the fall election — and beyond.

The end result of this logic is that Black people would never, ever protest racism because it would rile up whites. It's the logic of abuse. But I'm sure the "Camp of the Saints" guy is legitimately concerned with helping Black people effectively fight racism.

* Oh, hell. Maybe this IS a Rod Dreher shitposting blog. Please forgive me my minor obsessions.
