Kaepernick started a conversation about the intrinsic link between race and sports. After the Presidentâs pointed remarks, that conversation has reached a tipping point, and two clear sides have emerged.
Dear subscribers,
Today, SportsMonday reflects on President Donald Trump's criticism of NFL players taking a knee during the National Anthem. Additionally, we have an article tracking unresolved responses to racist incidents on campus. Sunday, the Michigan women's soccer team defeated Wisconsin on the road, 2-1, in an overtime victory. Saturday, Ann Arbor residents participated in the Out of the Darkness walk for suicide prevention. Finally, we take a look at student tailgate apparel.
All the best,
The Michigan Daily

LSA sophomore Kori Thomas was confronted with two unpleasant surprises one Friday morning in October of her freshman year.
The first was a collection of racially charged flyers she found posted outside her dorm, with subjects like "Black and White IQ Distributions" and "Lifetime Risk of HIV Diagnosis by Race/Ethnicity.â
But Michigan (2-1-1 Big Ten, 5-2-4 overall) did the unexpected again, upsetting Wisconsin, 2-1, in overtime for its first victory over a top-10 team since 2014.
Approximately 400 Ann Arbor community members embarked in unseasonably warm temperatures to raise awareness for suicide education and prevention by participating in the Out of the Darkness community walk Saturday morning in West Park.
On mornings with home football games, collegiate men and women across campus rifle through piles of maize and blue clothing in an attempt to put together the perfect game day outfit.
A game day outfit could be the most important form of garb University of Michigan students wear throughout their time at the University. Captured by Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook and the like, what one wears on Saturday football lives on eternally in the realm of social media. Now, this demand for Michigan spirit wear could soon be leading to changes with local retailers.Â
