re: Jeff Landry Triple Dog Dare

Landry is really disappointing me here. He really wants scholarships taken away, because an athlete misses an anthem? This is so ridiculous. Why can’t these politicians just act normal? This is extreme. I believe in free speech even if I don’t agree or like what I am seeing or hearing. I wish more people could have a bit more understanding and focus on things that are actually important. Forcing college athletes to attend anthems should not be a priority, but here we are. And this is during the age of NIL.

Those athletes better not be getting taped up or using the restroom or getting the trainers to work on a tweaked muscle back in the locker room that occurred during warm-ups. Big Brother Jeff will have eyes on you ready to pull your scholarship!

What if the students in the stand that are on an academic scholarship aren't at attention for the anthem, furthermore what happens if an athlete on another LSU team is in attendance at the football game and does not stand for the anthem? Does it apply to them as well?

I hope someone from Landry's staff has been reading all of these threads and realize that this was an idiotic move. But if the standard bearer is any guide, all the people working for him are imbeciles as well.
