I can guarantee she doesn't give a flying F what you think.

Should we also put a picture of the president in the locker room and the players each swear loyalty to it for 5 minutes a day?

This is a dumb take. Her point of existence is to work up their viewers

What is wrong with having athletes demonstrate respect for the nation?
Nothing, and I'd like to see them all do it, but I don't want them to be mandated. That makes the gesture meaningless and it would likely have the opposite effect.

It’s not that simple. You would also have to get every arena to agree on the same time (ex: 5 minutes before tip) for playing the anthem. And you have to mandate that too or they would feel free to change it before any given game.

I like freedom. If someone wants to protest the national anthem, they should have the right to. People can feel how they want about an athlete exercising that right but they should get the right none the less.
Making laws like this is a slippery slope. Do you want a law that saws that you have to fly a rainbow flag during pride month? Saying someone HAS to stand for the national anthem isn't much different. Sure you can argue that the national anthem is more important but regulating that people have to act a certain way is not the free American society that our founding father's fought for.

Politics has no place in amateur athletics. Jag Off needs to stay in his damned lane and figure out how to bring insurance rates down.

No, he didn’t. He said they should be on the court. When asked if they should be forced to stand, he didn’t answer it directly, saying if they don’t want to stand, they don’t have to play.

Nothing he says is right. He is an arse clown.

I’m as patriotic (personally) as they come, but I think this is a dumb discussion overall. I’m still IN the military and I think the forced connection that athletic events have with the Anthem (which isn’t specific to the military) and also the military (in form of various flyovers, recognitions, stand-and-claps) is awkward.
When these things become bigger conversations than the game itself, then they are misplaced.
I get that playing the Anthem at sporting events started during wartime to boost patriotism during tough times and that the military recognitions boost recruiting, but now that they are politicized flash points are they really value added?

The dude don't give a crap about this state. He's positioning for the national stage within the party. This is the same guy that believes if a child get pregnant from rape, she should have the baby. I'm so over both parties and their stupid politics.

He spoke like a true POG would. Can’t believe yall elected this clown.

It's not the teams' (notice that is plural because LSU isn't the only team) routine that is the problem moron.

Why not just make this a communist country then?

Regardless of your position of standing or not standing for the national anthem, the policy he says should be in place would be unconstitutional. Part of what makes this country great is not having the government mandate your freedom of speech, which IMO is more important to the bedrock of this country's foundations as standing for the national anthem. I don't like people kneeling or having silent protests during the anthem, but I also acknowledge that's their right to do so.

Sssssoooo, since Landry is now apparently Captain America in your mind, I assume you want him to have the balls to stand up to his cult leader. You know the one that refuses to have pictures taken with handicapped veterans, wounded veterans, or former POWS. Love how the "paper patriots" choose the divisive issues that have nothing to do with human beings. I understand!

Democrats ruin Louisiana but want Landry to fix it in 10 minutes
