Just wondering whether anyone believes that Columbia Athletics can survive D.A. Alvin Bragg. How can you hold athletic events in Manhattan given that he has admitted publicly that he and
his entire staff are incapable of successfully prosecuting persons committing violent crimes against Columbia students, employees and faculty. Is it worth taking the risk of physical harm to attend football games at Baker Field or basketball games at Levien Gymnasium? And how do the student-athletes feel if Bragg says it ok for masked protesters to demand that they disclose their religion in order to compete in athletic events.

Ridiculous post, sounds like you have an agenda against the DA for prosecuting a high profile criminal, recently convicted. I'm sure there are already high level discussions between the police department, Columbia security and Columbia's administration about these situations to maintain the highest level of safety whether you're walking through campus or sitting at a football game.

Fair point. I've been to games at Baker Field in which Columbia quarterbacks seemed constantly under the threat of extreme physical violence. Bragg never charged any of the perpetrators in blue or orange.
