Save Gopher Sports

[MensGym]

We have many people on this board that I know can help Mike Burns SAVE GOPHER SPORTS!
In case you didn’t know, Minnesota Men’s Gymnastics (and Iowa Men’s) were cut in August and September of 2020. Minnesota has been a part of the university for 117 years! It was cut without notice and without merit. They had on their roster future Olympian, Shane Wiskus and many previous Olympians, most notably, 3 time Olympian, John Roethlisberger.
Mike Burns presented a self-funded way to save the sport at the university and the Regents would not read it.
If you can spare a minute of your time to sign the petition, that would help tremendously!
Please share on FB and Twitter, your gym pages, and personal social media accounts.
Thanks!

PLEASE SIGN!!!

 

[RAFIKI]

Signed with a fake state/zip code because it wouldn’t accept – and n/a.

 

[MensGym]

I’ve signed it and so has my partner and many friends with no issues. Not understanding what you are saying.

 

[RedBirdie]

Rafiki is not based in the US, but still wanted to show her support. The petition requires you to enter a State and zip, so anyone not based in the US has to use a fake state and zip code in order to sign.

 

[MensGym]

Thank you!

 

[MaryClare]

Yes, I’m the same as @RAFIKI so I went for Alaska, it’s closest.

If anyone does want to hire a load of US citizen posing bots though, I know a guy who knows a guy.

 

[RedBirdie]

And for anyone else, here’s a handful of options:
DC–20019
WI–54806
MD–21122
NC–28209

 

[JDB]

I signed the petition and truthfully answered the location & alumni status questions.

This has been stagnant for awhile! Can anyone sign this?! Mike Burns said he needs thousands for them to consider this.
Thanks!
