I tend to believe it's because people use the voice recognition software on phones and tablets and don't speak clearly rather than assuming everyone who messes up flunked English classes.

Defunding mean exactly what it sounds like it means. Taking the current police budget, and reducing it by a signifigant amount if not eliminate it completely.

Seriously, I'm with Mustang - I just don't get the fear-mongering here.
-Coronavirus is going to be the end of sports
-Minneapolis riots are going to be the end of sports
-Lack of testosterone and muscle mass is going to be the end of sports (aka "kids these days")
-Defunding the police is going to be the end of sports
-Kneeling for the national anthem is going to be the end of sports
That mentality doesn't make sense to me personally, but to each their own I suppose. I think it's a little dramatic to be honest. If sports die out, it's because we probably got nailed by an asteroid or something.

Just having some fun!

A couple of things in particular could really negatively effect college football and basketball this year.
1. COVID-19 (especially if we see an uptick in cases)
2. Cities and towns with colleges that try and quickly jump on board in defunding their police to the point that there's not enough on-duty or off-duty officers to maintain civil peace and security at games. The ramifications could be huge and other options would not be nearly effective or simply wouldn't work. Based on past problems and fights, in a lot of high school games in NC with (with police security) you have to go through medal detectors just to get through the gates or doors.

Usually when you think of Police Presents you mean a ticket. In that cents I've received several "presents". I remember coming back from a game up in Mars Hill several years back and got a present from a NC Highway patrolman that I went to Church with. He laughed the whole time he was righting out my ticket.Da Bears

It is just one opinion.
Yes. We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety.

Here's another "opinion". It just happens to be that of the president of Minneapolis City Council.
You and I can express our thoughts on the matter, but we don't have any direct effect on the outcome. Thus our opinion.
