I would like for the POC at uOttawa, GGs, teammates and recruits, who are not feeling supported, to know that our Women’s Rugby account is not being run by anyone on the team (coaches included). Our team has expressed frustration multiple times and still nothing has been done.
For the person running the page to post about the new Assistant Coach before posting about the BLM movement is infuriating and upsetting. In addition, only two posts have been made concerning racial issues and both were made on the same day.
Here is an example of how to make your athletes feel supported and cared for. Great job, @GeeGeesWBB
@uOttawaGeeGees @uOttawa Do better.
So apparently some of the uOttawa sports teams were asked by the university’s sports administration to not post about the BLM movement and to post messages of support in private and to not use their platforms... wtf @uOttawa @uOttawaGeeGees
