Jeffries, Black Caucus amplify calls for athletes to boycott SEC over Southern redistricting
Led by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), the lawmakers are joining the NAACP and other advocacy groups in advising Black athletes to seek other schools until the universities in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) — a powerhouse of college sports — come out publicly against the GOP’s redistricting campaign. The idea is to deny those schools the Black athletic talent to make them successful — and keep them profitable — while they sit on the sidelines of the redistricting battle. “This is an unprecedented moment, featuring an unprecedented attack on Black political representation, and therefore it requires an unprecedented response,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday during a press briefing outside the Capitol.
