Since last year’s election is in the proverbial rear-view, and some leftists finally have acknowledged that big, non-BLM and Antifa gatherings aren’t “super-spreader” events, it seems many establishment types think there’s another “super-spreader” conservative pathogen that needs authoritarian containment.
Indeed, the leftist establishment running Virginia Tech appears to disapprove of the viral popularity of the “F-Joe Biden” (aka “Let’s Go, Brandon!”) chant that has swept America.
On October 14, VA Tech Director of Student Affairs Frank Shushok, Jr. joined Whit Babcock, director of Athletics, and Mac Babb, chief of the VA Tech Police, in publishing a “Message to Students Regarding Game Day Behavior,” to express their authoritarian/paternalistic “disapproval” of the powerful displays of political dissatisfaction shown by tens of thousands of VA Tech “Hokies” fans who have attended university events.
Rife with contemporary public relations spin, and dripping with condescension, the “message” begins:
Dear Virginia Tech students,
Fall means football in Blacksburg. Nothing matches the excitement of being in Lane Stadium to jump and cheer together in support of our Hokies. This unique, thrilling experience doesn’t happen on its own. We depend on our incredible stadium staff and public safety personnel to move tens of thousands of people safely and efficiently in and out of Lane Stadium and take great care of us while we’re there so we can enjoy the game. This only works when we demonstrate patience, mutual respect for those around us, and full cooperation with guidance and protocols.
Are you “jumping and cheering?”
