College Students Find Themselves Caught Between Athletics and Activism

College athletes and activism have a long history. In 1969, a group of players known as the Black 14 were kicked off the University of Wyoming’s football team over a planned protest. More than 50 years later, the NAACP is urging Black athletes to avoid attending public universities in Florida, following a state ban on DEI initiatives at those schools. Correspondent Joie Chen speaks to Tony McGee, one of the members of the Black 14, about his advice for young players.
