  1. I did Camino Ingles from Ferrol in May, 2022 and 4 days of the Camino Frances from St Jean over the Pyrenees to Pamplona with my son 3 weeks ago.  The Pyrenees walk was stunning but the wind was relentless. I will finish the Frances after I retire next April.  So far I’ve just approached it as a physical and mental challenge.

    Well, speaking up and attempting to take a stand is good until you say something stupid.  Imo, they are exploiting and conflating serious issues with invented ones.  Seems to me a real leader would argue the difference between The Eyes and real racial issues.  There are many and this song shouldn't even make the list.  For example the confederate statues or flag which was an actual symbol that represented people pro slavery.  This song does not state or imply anything racist.  That to me would be real leadership.  Right now imo they seem like they are looking for anything something to take up a cause against.  Picking this song seems misinformed and frankly stupid.  It weakens and harms the credibility of real racial issues imo.    

    Well they seem to be doing a pretty good job making people talk about racism and likely will end up with some change.  Certainly are making a lot of people who think they can define racism uncomfortable.

    The University of Texas is more than a collection of buildings. The values of the University and what they symbolize is what matters not some fucking song, not a name on a building or a statue. The University has to stand for every one of its students and faculty not just a select few. To those that fear and lament change I will simply say the pride and winning tradition of The University of Texas will not be entrusted to the weak or the timid. 

    Exactly.  The University is about the development of leaders.  These athletes are exemplifying The University in the most important way possible.
