Jeff Landry was in this group.

Now, instead of admitting he spoke before he understood and made a mistake, he's tripling down on this stupidity.


You know, it’s not always I agree with SFP on much of anything, but he’s dead on with this, and Landry rushing to comment on this without thinking it through or getting all the facts first only makes it more embarrassing.

But hey, if it’s a consolation, those looking to throw shade on Mulkey and LSU in social media and the MSM jumped in without looking too, so there’s no lack of very silly looking people over this nonsense.

It's embarrassing how many LSU fans have been suckered into this bullshite. As someone pointed out, USEFUL IDIOTS.

This is not a political issue, a protest or anything of the sort. This is an attack on Kim Mulkey, because she's a good coach and a winner, and they don't want that here.

Go back and look at the news stories on her in the past (hell, just the stuff that came out this season). For awhile, it was that she is too MAGA, didn't publicly back Britney Griner when she was arrested in Russia. Then it was because she wasn't all-in on the Covid thing, and didn't like the masks. That apparently didn't cause enough outrage, so now instead of lumping her in with Trump, they're trying to paint her as 'anti-American'.

Newsflash, none of this is political (Dem vs GOP), it's a power struggle within women's sports. They're trying everything they can do to discredit her and drive her out... so that those who are already on top, stay there. I don't think there are any idealistic virtues (right or wrong) on the other side for doing it, it's just an ugly power play.

The proper response from LSU should be "she's hired to win basketball games, and she's doing that. So frick you, she's our coach".
The proper response (if any) from the Louisiana governor should have been "Geaux Tigers, it's great for the state to have successful teams and we support them".

I don't even care about women's basketball other than 'oh great, LSU is winning now', but come on. This shite has been pretty obvious from the outset.

And now that Landry (and a bunch of useful idiots) have taken the bait, it's going to be done a lot more. We've just shown that we can be easily manipulated, so expect the same thing to happen with Kelly, Johnson, and any other coach here who happens to do well.

He should have used the Bongino rule.
On Dan Bongino’s podcast, he has a rule that he generally waits at least 48 hours to comment on any breaking events. This gives him time to study the issue from both sides and allows the smoke to clear. This is a good rule of thumb. Landry would have been wise to use it.

If this really was that big of a deal to Governor Landry, shouldn't he have picked up the phone and called Coach Mulkey first?

But nah...he ran to his tweeter and talked about removing scholarships from college athletes instead.
