NAACP asks Black athletes to boycott SEC, ACC powers in latest sports-as-politics pressure campaign

The NAACP is asking Black athletes to boycott SEC and ACC powers by withholding athletic and financial support from public universities in states accused of weakening black voting representation. The campaign targets states such as Tennessee, Louisiana, and Alabama, and asks athletes to consider transferring to historically Black colleges and universities. The NAACP aims to pressure state legislatures into opposing GOP-led redistricting efforts.
