Summary
Mississippi State was scheduled to practice on Thursday afternoon. Instead, the Bulldog players elected to protest social injustices in our country.
The move was met with criticism by some and support by others. On today's show, I share the details about what led to the decision to take the day off to show a sense of solidarity.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host Steve Robertson here on the Friday edition of the yard. |
| 0:07.8 | It is actually late Thursday night as I record this. And I contemplated recording in the morning, but there's a lot of things going on that we need to talk about. |
| 0:19.7 | I believe that a dialogue is healthy for all of us, |
| 0:23.5 | and I am going to confess some things today, some feelings that I had, some thoughts that I had |
| 0:29.6 | initially when I learned about the Mississippi State practice boycott, and then I'm going to |
| 0:36.1 | share with you some things that I have learned since |

| 1:29.7 | It's just a lot of times I wait to speak or write or broadcast after I have had the opportunity to kind of digest more of the facts. |
| 1:38.3 | And so what appears to be level-headed at times is really just a little more educated on certain factors. And so I'm going to |
| 1:46.2 | share some of it with you today. Before I do, there are many of you that reach out to me and say, |
| 1:52.1 | Steve, thanks for this, thanks for that, whatever we can do to support you. The best way to support me |
| 1:57.2 | is to go to alpha dogs to book.com and order yourself some books. |
| 2:03.1 | Will there be alpha dogs and that's going to be tentative release dates about 30 days from now? |
