IN Mathieu's acceptance interview after he was picked in the draft, I found myself wanting it to end but the questions just kept coming. Too many you knows and man this and man that. It's man this, Man that, even if a woman is doing the interview. Ke Ke and Reid don't have this problem. Mathieu's language was right out of the hood. Am I wrong or is this the new acceptable way to speak.

you can't remove what's in these kids sad to say, they just have to grow up through it....unfortunately this trend will never end as these types of players will always be around as long as we want to be a winner

They didn't have it coming in to LSU either.
I'm sure most athletes take a speech class at some point. They also get media training.
With both, you get back what you put in.

It was awful. I've never seen him communicate so poorly.

I was in a public speaking class at LSU with Chad Jones. Some of them are forward thinkers. I remember one time specifically where the assignment was to make a speech about your dream job. Chad did his on being a supermarket shelf stocker. The PowerPoint he had associated with it was on point professional quality.

OMG listen to a Mettenberger interview. Every answer starts with uuuhhhhh and then every seventh or eighth word after that... He is extremely difficult to follow and listen to. I feel bad for him because he is interviewed a lot.
I have to say that having CLM as a public speaking coach is not optimum...

English is taught in every grade. They know how to speak. But when you have thug role models you choose to speak that way. Blame America for making it cool and calling it Swag.

You mean teaching basic grammar at LSU?

I thought it was part of Gen Ed?

OP, you been watching sports long? Jocks are not known for their oratory skills. Even the smart ones give shitty off-the-cuff interviews. You know, man?

I'd honestly like half the people that posted in this thread to make a video of themselves answering questions off the cuff. I'm pretty sure most of them would be pretty laughable.
They aren't professional public speakers, and many of them use different regional diction than you. I know this may be difficult to understand, but most people in this country do not speak SAE on a regular basis.
Sure some of these guys are not the most eloquent, but once again they are not professional speakers.

Your title is strong evidence of serious book learning.

WTF?! Am I the only one catching the irony of this last sentence from the OP?
He's completely bungled the wording. He's not providing 2 options. If he's wrong, then it is an acceptable way to speak.
Or implies 2 options. He essentially leaves us with one. All the while, complaining about Mathieu's language.
