These 87 universities help 100's of anti-Roe radio stations and are good places to protest

100’s of schools and dozens of professional sports teams broadcast on and support 100’s of anti-choice talk radio stations without complaint.

Below is a list by states of 87 major universities that broadcast sports on more than 260 x-Limbaugh radio stations (from fakenewsradio.org).

All these universities are appropriate places to protest for helping the Republicans overturn Roe. They need to reread the lofty promises they make in their mission statements. They need to be protested until the universities begin looking for apolitical alternatives.

All advertisers, schools, and pro sports teams supporting RW radio share responsibility for this.

There will be a snowball effect. Once one or a few universities begin public discussion of the absurdity fo supporting highly partisan anti-science, anti-woman, racist radio stations others will follow. Advertisers will desert those stations. The radio ad industry will have to try to break up the 1200-1500 RW radio station monopoly before they lose too many advertisers.

If the this absurd situation continues all those stations will attack pro-choice political candidates and protestors and may stimulate counterprotests and violence. As long as those schools continue to broadcast on those stations they will support anti-choice repression.

Turn on any political talk radio station and there’s a nearly 100% chance those stations will be populated by men celebrating the end of Roe today. That’s what Dan Bongino’s substitute (Kurt Schlichter(sp?)) on about half of Limbaugh’s old stations, endorsed by those universities, is doing right now.

This is an incomplete accounting of the schools supporting RW radio and it only counted Limbaugh stations and mostly only men’s football. There are many more schools and stations involved.
