It’s just a game. The game doesn’t really matter.

I’m that y’all are really up in arms about players showing respect to our own country. Just wow.

I know I’m in the minority here, but why can’t players be out, respecting our nation? Don’t give me pre-game nonsense, times can be moved to make it fit. Players, especially players at Public Universities, need to be out during the national anthem. Taxpayers support that institution.

Are you saying society has decayed so much that showing respect for our country is such a burden on the players that it will hamper their performance? That is what this long thread is telling me.

this long thread is basically people pointing out that this has been going on you’re entire life and you never cared about it until someone on the field for the national anthem took a knee during it.

Respecting the anthem =\= everyone has to be in the room for it. it means everyone in the room should respect it.

This is a bullshite fake outrage and our Governor landed on the retard side and decided to throw red meat to mouth breathers like you rather than show a basic understanding of the first amendment or have his own states back.

The difference in the two situations is enormous as is the substance of what at least I'm upset about. If you can't see the difference here then I don't think I can help you.

And Obviously Landry never knew or cared about it until some social media outlet out of nowhere cherry picked our game (note - no mention of both teams in the next women's game following right after ours the same routine) and pointed out to him that he should be outraged and of course he saw the opportunity to score political points or so he thought.

Absolutely, it's look at me virtue signaling. I've been late to games where I've missed the anthem, I've been in the bathroom during the anthem, doesn't mean I'm not an American any more than the guy who makes sure you see him doing it so he can pat himself on the back.

we’re not talking about standing for the anthem.

we’re talking about whether or not you have to run into the room if it’s being played.

So let's say this passes. What's next? If an athlete speaks out against the country do they also lose their scholarships? What about government workers?

How about a business that accepted any government aid or applied for any government program?

Like I'm honestly surprised at the amount of people who seriously want to get rid of the First Amendment. Maybe I shouldn't be, after all, both sides have been trying to censor Free Speech lately.

Not that it really matters, but the athletic department is self-funded.

These are students that need to be taken down a peg. They are not the end-all-be-all and the world doesn’t revolve around them.

You realize it’s not the players making the decision right? The players are following the staff’s pregame routine.

Which is part of the reason Landry’s suggestion that players lose scholarships is.. asinine. Even if he didn’t know the full story when he fired off his initial tweet, it’s a near certainty that he knew before he doubled down on national TV and then tripled down in his letter.

You seem to have it backwards, sir. Nobody is going to be upset if pregame routines get changed so that players are on the field for the anthem. All they would have to do is play the national anthem immediately prior to kickoff/tip off/etc. instead of burying it in the pregame activities.

People are upset that Jeff Landry threw LSU athletics under the bus for some national political brownie points, turning a story that would have simply gone away (as it has countless times for countless other programs doing the exact same thing) into something much bigger.

LSU fans didn’t make a big deal out of this. Jeff Landry did.
