I just think it is awful of teammates, organizations and universities to deprive any player who does want to go because of their political views. I would have gone to see Clinton, Bush, Obama and didn't much care for any of them. Once in a lifetime opportunity and you never know when your opinion may change anyway. For instance, I didn't like Trump as a Presidential candidate but if he continues down his current path, and gets another 4 years, he will likely be the best President of my adult lifetime. That Trump has been a better President for blacks than Obama empirically is unquestionable, and at some point that will be acknowledged. There is already a minor exodus by blacks from D to R. As it becomes more clear and as the Ds replace black victimhood with women and illegal immigrant victimhood, the exodus will only increase.
but basic point is that it is a selfish move by the ones who don't want to go
