Juneteenth has always been a thing around here.  Lots of big celebrations, block parties, and the like. 
It makes sense it would be a celebration in Texas... that is the entire theme, no? Freedom didn't reach Texas until June following the end of the war?

Yes indeed.  It's listed as a "state holiday" but I don't know anyone that gets the day off.  Maybe state workers?

take four people, armed to the teeth... one black... one white... a staunch liberal and conservative, and lock them in a room with nothing but a television....

Pump in news, it'll be a bloodbath.

Pump in college football, they'll emerge friends and with regard for each other. 

We focus far too much on what separates us.  There is more that binds us.

I'm sensing a theme here.
Yes, the theme is China sucks and so does it’s evil communist dictatorship government. I know plenty of people who have been there on business, and they all swear that it’s terrible and hate it. I know someone that does business there and hates it there so much, says it’s so dirty and the food is so terrible- they refuse to go back- even though not going back actually hurts their business. Not to mention they’ve screwed this country and the people of this country over for almost 30 years and our government let’s them. No to mention the CCP covered up the coronavirus and caused it to spread worldwide. So yeah, f**k that place. They can suck a fat one. 

And California sucks. It’s overpopulated as hell, there are just way too many damn people. 40 million? Wtf. California has 27% of all the homeless population in the entire country, and homeless shanty towns have overrun LA and San Francisco- there are sections of those cities overrun by homeless people with needles and beer contains littered all throughout the streets. The property taxes and state income taxes are literally insane and the highest in the entire country. The beaches suck- the water is so cold you can’t even go in without a body suite. Then you have the Silicon Valley idiots at twitter, Facebook, and google that are literally destroying this society. Oh and the extremely overpaid dickwads who work at those companies have turned San Francisco from a once affordable city into a playground for rich Silicon Valley dickwads. San Francisco apartments the size of a shoebox now costs $6k a month. The housing prices are insane in the parts of the state where people actually live. Again the highest in the country. Oh and you guys don’t even have the hot Latin women. Hardly any Colombians, Brazilians, Cubans, Puerto Rican’s, or Argentinians there. Not to mention California has literally all of the lame celebrities living there who record themselves singing Imagine or record themselves acting like they are going to cry saying “I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY!” and then act like they are changing the world and we should thank them! It’s an OK place to visit I guess, but seriously f***k that place. It’s got to be one of the worst places to live in the US. I don’t understand why people chose to live there when they have other options. It’s a literal overpopulated shithole that’s run by complete idiots and psychopaths.

He wants to continue to be a college football coach. Thus, he didn't do that. If he sends his best player packing like that, talent  dries up, and he gets to go down in flames.

But man, it would've made some folks uninvolved feel so good in a way that's mostly meaningless, which strikes me as perhaps our biggest problem as a country.
You are missing the point, entirely. 

He should’ve stood up for what’s right. And he should’ve taught this phony lame entitled dickwad from Canada named Chuba Hubbard a lesson. 

The biggest problem in our country are the pc pussies who whine and moan on twitter and then get people to cave in and cater to them. You have to stand your ground and fight these pc pussies where they stand. 

Gundy should’ve done the right thing and dismissed Hubbard from the team for violation of team rules and said I am not apologizing for wearing a fucking t-shirt and you can all kiss my ass if you don’t like it. Even at the expense of his job. The fact that people feel like they can’t do this- is what is wrong with this country.

was this a joke or are trying to tell us something
Yes, McSweeney's is a satire site. It was meant to be a joke... But as with a lot of jokes, there are some uncomfortable truths shown when you hold up the circus mirror of satire to a topic.

A. Football teams are not the moral barometer of anything.
B. Talent getting to dictate terms is unfortunately real life. 
C. If what's wrong with this country is that you can't tell people to kiss your ass when you have a job representing an institution and not possibly face consequences, I dunno, that seems odd.

The weirdest thing is how people act as if California or any state is some kind of monolith of a place.

I'm positive there's a part of Ca you'd enjoy living in (and a part of Texas you wouldn't).

I think it’s easy to tell someone they should have stood up for themselves even at the expense of their job.  That’s an easy stand to make for someone else.

I don’t blame Gundy for caving to keep a 5 or 6 million dollar a year job (or whatever he makes). I blame him for being dumb enough to wear the shirt in the first place.
