Sunny Hostin Backs NAACP Boycott of 13 Schools Over Redistricting Ruling

Sunny Hostin on Wednesday defended the NAACP’s new “Out of Bounds” campaign, which urges Black athletes and families to avoid 13 public universities in states accused of weakening Black political representation.
Hostin said the tactic could inflict economic pressure through college sports, even though athletes would give up scholarships and NIL income, arguing that financial harm has long been an effective civil-rights tool.
The campaign targets schools in the SEC and ACC across states including Tennessee, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas and Georgia, and is framed as a response to a Supreme Court ruling on race-based congressional districts.
Her fellow “View” co-hosts were more cautious: Alyssa Farah Griffin called it a good idea but unfair to students, while Whoopi Goldberg said it could be part of a broader strategy rather than the best standalone option.
Support for the boycott also came Tuesday from members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
