Imagine paying 20k a year to be indoctrinated to become a liberal

I Love she 😍

Don’t comply with Marxism. BLM=Marxism.

Need to tack a few more zeros on the end.

good

She’s a liar

👏

Congratulations. You should have settled for more and included the dismissal of the coach

Hell ya!

Uhhh what

Justice is served. Absolutely no compelled speech or action should be tolerated. Fire that coach

ReneePatriot Mhmmm

Good for her. Disgusting her coach is supporting that vile organization.

This is why it’s all over if the left gains control of the federal judiciary. It would be unadulterated lawlessness.

Brave and stunning

Freedom of speech goes both ways

Mark_4America

Mark_4America Not enough.

Freedom

Good for her!!

What's a 100k = in USD?

Should get 1M from BLM mansion maintenance funds

She let VT off cheap.

Not a lot of money. Should get at least $1M for that trouble.

Good for her!

She didn’t win, but at least she (and more likely her lawyers) have a consolation prize.

Good 👍

It’s her life and she has every reason to believe and stand on her own decisions!! Why this SportsIndustry forcing someone to follow their beliefs..

What sucks is that is not a lot of money

Too bad she couldn't have held out. The 100g is pretty motivating but to have them admit fault would have been fantastic

Do wat u want not wat a made up profit stealing company tells u

🤷‍♂️🤷🤷‍♀️

100k Waooo this country that i fought for it's going to hell

Sounds about white

Honestly should get more. The coach possibly fucked her chance to go professional which is a lot more $ than that
