OK, but we are talking about football. These schools openly didn't allow black kids to play for there schools until USC came in and laid the wood on Alabama in the 70's to a large extent.
Nowhere in the USA is perfect where it comes to race relations but from a football context, you still see confederate flags at ole miss games and the SEC is clearly the biggest offender. To claim northern schools are as bad is comical, or to claim any of the northern states have racial issues to the degree an Alabama or Mississippi at this point in time is comical.
Not to mention, the Northern schools, even Ivy league schools were letting black student's attend in the 1850's, where as it took an act of congress to get some of these SEC schools to let Black students in nearly 120 years later.
I find it hard to believe a Jewish person sending there kid to play for a school who passes around Nazil flags in the stands during there games.
It's a weird, strange thing that a kid from Miami would want to go live and play for Alabama or Ole Miss two schools with atrocious racial records that are pretty recent. I have never really understood it but I'm not a person of color so I can't really comment on it.
