What happened

When it comes to moronic political stunts, the NAACP’s call for a black boycott of athletic programs at southern universities is hard to beat.

Why it matters

After all, the group’s “Out of Bounds” campaign, backed by the Congressional Black Caucus, looks primed to harm the very people it claims to champion: black teen athletes.

Common ground

The campaign asks these teens — as well as families, fans, alumni and others — to stay away from public universities in southern states that are (purportedly) weakening black voting rights.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language, Name Calling / Labeling, Straw Man: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
