I’m afraid that is not how scholarships work. They are contracts. If you do not fulfill your contract, the scholarship is taken away from you.
These women either keep playing with the team or lose their scholarship and possibly lose their only way of paying for college. You expecting them to give up college or go deeper into student loan debts so that they can protest an injustice is an injustice to them. All you are suggesting is that even more people get hurt by this than are already hurt by it.
What do you think employment is? Strikes aren’t about rules and contracts, they’re about power. You don’t get fired because at a certain critical mass, the bosses can’t run their business without you.
And students have been risking their scholarships, enrollment, and even visas for Palestine all year. Resistance and moral stands aren’t without personal risk.

I think employment is something they won’t get if they don’t finish college.
What is your personal risk in this? Because it’s all well and good to expect other people to make sacrifices you will never have to make.
