MOND ADVOCATES ‘CHANGE’ AT TEXAS A&M

Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond continues to push for the removal of a statue of Lawrence Sullivan Ross.

Mond stepped up his campaign Tuesday, issuing a statement: "The values of Texas A&M University do not align with RACISM, VIOLENCE, SLAVERY & SEGREGATION, but Jimbo Fisher's most prominent saying will always stick with me: "Your ACTIONS speak so loud I can't hear what you're saying," Mond wrote. "The Lawrence Sullivan Ross Statue NEEDS to be removed. Texas A&M University, I NEED to see ACTION."

There were protests on both sides this past weekend, with about 24,000 people signing a petition for the statue's removal, and about 25,000 signing one to keep it.

Mond, a senior from San Antonio, says that the arguments of Sullivan's contributions to A&M should not outweigh his past.

Numerous current players and former players, including Johnny Manziel, tweeted support for Mond.
