Not a fan of playing politics to gain favor with recruits. Cheesy and dishonest. What happened to Floyd was terrible. No one is justifying that act. But these very sort of instances are consistently cherry picked against the OVERWHELMING amount of violence that is perpetuated from within the black community. Even still, white people aren't out there burning homes and businesses of people who have NOTHING to do with any if this (other than liberal whites who are joining in to virtue signal and collect their paychecks). But no one is worried about that... just a handful of instances that they've labeled as "systemic racism".

Why does this section almost always double post when I comment here?

Solid double-post. Would upvote again.

If your skin color is of a light hue..you better damn well feel guilty of something

canyon•47 months

I'm waiting on the swim coach to chime in. Then it will be real.

BestBanker•47 months

I won't read that one too.

Lebowski•47 months

There was no need for Wade to make a statement.

Stretch Suba•47 months

The statement by Wade or any coach is not for you or for me, and it’s really not for the fans. It’s for his current players and for recruits. If he sat back and say nothing, his players wonder why and recruits might start thinking of playing for someone else.

monsterballads•47 months

of course there was. this is about recruiting.

GEAUXHOOKEM•47 months

You guys have to be some of the most out of touch clowns I've ever seen. Have you ever been recruited or had a son or daughter recruited. Coaches stand in your home and make impassioned speeches about how they will help mold, protect and guide lives of your student athletes, many of whom are African American, in the most high visibility sports. As a "leader" forging men and guiding them on the football field or otherwise, why would it not make sense to you that coaches would advocate on behalf of their players when they are adversely impacted. Their experiences and skin color follow them well after your chest thumping and high-fiving ends on Saturday.

who cares what a basketball coach, player or any other individual that makes a living playing or otherwise involved in a sport has to say about anything outside of their sport ? Just stfu.

MJG•47 months

I DO care that there are people- supposedly fans of my school- that think they speak for all of us with their small minds.

GoneFishing21•47 months

Or coaches or other celebrities that think they speak for all of us

JohnnyU•47 months

They are citizens and they in a highly visible position. It would be nice if there were real leaders with vision who can begin seriously addressing such issues. Sadly there are not enough men of substance who can come together to find a meaningful way forward. 4 years ago why did dumbasses think a reality TV personality and failed businessman could lead our country? Here's a hint. He can't.

Jesus Christ Wade.

Croot pander szn

CDawson•47 months

Sad Wade has stooped to this level.

LSU82Cajun•47 months

Riots, looting, killing and beating people is not a protest but anarchy. Our leaders are slugs

dwariley•47 months

We have no leaders. Everyone is busy playing politics.

Freddy238•47 months

Thank you coach Wade. I mean General Wade.

DoubleDown•47 months

LSU fans in for a rude awakening when “Burreaux” takes a knee week 1. Can’t wait to see how fans squirm and pander that one. God speed.

Joe knows his teammates and is privy to experiences they have had.....they share alot with him. But, to the average TD poster, what the hell do they know. Racism is non-sense and these people should shut up. They will cannibalize the greatest player in LSU history if it comes to that.....its who they are.

CDawson•47 months

If Joe is actually does that, he will be the greatest player in LSU history. He would just also happen to be a political midget that put PC culture over facts. I believe in Joe, he won't stand with anarchist that hate America.

KCT•47 months

We already know he's an SJW. Do you think we live under a rock? I'll always be grateful to Joe Burrow for what he did for LSU, but that doesn't mean I have to like his political views. Simple as that.

Gotta love Tigerdroppings inhabitants begin to attack the very institution this board is based upon.

CanebreakCajun•47 months

Tigerdroppings is based on the instution of LSU football.

Tiger4life5803•47 months

Man I’ve watched that video 1000x and I still don’t see why this is a race thing. The dude resisted being put into the car, and some really really f’d up stuff ensued. What happened to him was beyond wrong. If we pretend that this had never happened before to anyone of any color; would we be talking about racism at all right now?

Tiger4life5803•47 months

Don’t just downvote me dudes...explain it to me...I am honestly perplexed...

rob62•47 months

It isn't a racial issue any more than the looting, rioting, and destruction of private property is a protest.

LoneStarRanger•47 months

Google Tony Timpa. Killed just like George Floyd, cops were making jokes while they killed him. But he was white....police brutality sees no race, it’s straight up color blind (see Harvard Fryer study on police fatalities)

homeless1•47 months

Every black athlete should go into the transfer portal and protest

rob62•47 months

Bye

bayoubilly57•47 months

OURS PLAYERS ARE TREAT IT LIKE GOLD GEAUXTIGERS

rob62•47 months

I want to know how any black person knows all about being black and how easy I have it being white. I am fed up with the victim mentality of some blacks. It is bullshite and you don't have a damn clue what it is like being white. Such as being expected to apologize for some dipshit who does something stupid simply because he is white. Then you turn around and say that blacks shouldn't be judged by the actions of a few such as all these looters, thieves, rioters, & thugs who are destroying private property and stealing in the name of George Floyd. Well if you support that then you are a liar and a hypocrite. Was it wrong for the dumbass cop to kill George Floyd? Yes. However, that has nothing to do with me or any other white person except the dumbass who did it. This also has nothing to do with LSU. NOTHING, but that doesn't stop some of you from trying to insult LSU fans. You sorry pieces of crap are the true racists.

Ty Gus•47 months

Thank You, Coach Wade. This is a time that Leaders step up to the plate and lead by example. Those young men on your team NEED their coach in a time like this. We can all do more.

TigerPimpNationTrank•47 months

FYI - one of his own players was murdered...not by a cop.
