Boycott the NCAA Tournament

by Richard Lee Tuesday, Mar. 18, 2003 at 7:40 PM

About the same day the NCAA Basketball Tournament is scheduled to begin, (Thursday March 20), King George II plans to begin unloading uranium-depleted warheads on Iraq. Urge the college basketball players to go on strike to protest this egregious imperialistic action.

1. If your university is among the 64 teams in the NCAA Basketball Tournament, urge the players to go on strike to protest the war.

2. If the U.S. initiates bombing Iraq or any other country, and the NCAA tournament goes on as planned, picket the games and do not watch on TV to boycott the U.S. Government/Media propaganda machine.

3. Boycott media sponsors.

Even though college fans are excited about seeing their team win, life and death, which will also affect the families of the players and coaches, is far more important than basketball. No one will die by missing one year of a college basketball tournament.

The U.S. bombing will not only expose American troops to radioactivity and Round II of Gulf War Syndrome, but also kill and expose tens of thousands of innocent women and children to the same radiation. The war is designed only to take over the oil fields and assist Israel in their quest to exterminate Arabs from the Middle East and hence dominate and rule that entire portion of the world. This is a blatant violation of both the American Constitution, which says that only Congress can declare war, not to mention international law, notably the U.N. and also the Oslo accords, which set forth a non-violent plan to solve the Israeli/Palestinian disputes.
