Two days after the West Virginia Mountaineers marched in Morgantown in support of racial justice and equality, defensive tackle Dante Stills took to Instagram on Wednesday and revealed the Mountaineer football team will wear a BLM sticker on their helmets this season in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Predictably, the mentions on social media are a dumpster fire filled with folks saying they’re done with West Virginia University sports, parroting the usual right-wing talking points. The now former “fans” have called the players everything from racist to terrorist to Marxist — a term I’m fairly confident I could ask almost every one of these people what it means and they wouldn’t even land anywhere near the correct answer.
