Get in here statist: LSU anthem controversy

Read: Even though lsu women's bb team was improperly blamed and yall's governor jumped the gun and wount' up getting shite on his finger, even though I personally think not standing for the anthem is a cheap, chicken shite, faux, tired way of virtue-signaling a demonstration, maybe it's the libertarian in me, maybe it's the rebel blood that courses through my veins from ancestors past, but the more a government compels and forces me BY LAW to do something as fundamentally human as standing, performing a civilian salute, and singing that government's anthem to them in a stadium funded and subsidized with my tax dollars, FORCEFULLY UNDER THE THREAT OF IMPRISONMENT OR FINE, the more I'm going to tell them to eat shite.
The more it will fuel my putrid hate for a politician, a bureaucrat, and those who admire them and their propensity to pass laws. I hate all 3 with every fiber of my being (amplified the closer the clock strikes to 12 am, April 15th), and laws that would literally compel me to speak words would only amplify it even more, and it should for you too.
If you will go quietly into the night and happily be mandated BY LAW to sing to your police state - because make no mistake, when politicians are wishing it to be law, it goes from being an ode to our fallen heroes and our fallen, once great country, to a ballad for the police state- then you have crossed the communist line. However so small and benign it is to you, it is a line that you, we, are allowing our government to cross every time the gavel falls in our state capitals and Washington DC.
No free man, no free THINKING man, should ever be forced to do the above by their government, and no amount of "rah rah, commie lover," government-addled psyop comments should make a free citizen budge on it. In short, because of the alarming amount of people here and on social media who think our police state should compel speech and action by the force of law, frick you, whoever you are.
You are a useful, statist tool for the elite, totalitarian lawmakers. You should be ashamed of yourself, and appalled that you ever had the gall to call yourself a patriot. You shine the shoes of a statesman - that is your lot in life and the wheels of history.
And so, to any who think government mandated speech is laudable, the floor is yours, tell me why:

TL;DR - if you support Landry you like getting pegged

LSU's culture has become too woke for James Carville.

This issue seems to have no redeeming quality for instructional purposes. Everyone should just let it fade away.

Landry has trouble understanding what the First Amendment means (see: trying to sue the Advocate as AG because their reporter filed a FOIA for information on one of Landry's employees).

Let's hear why the government should mandate speech. Let's debate. Don't be pussies.

3 threads on this already. You aren’t saying anything new.

That is saying something and it ain't good. There needs to be some house clearing at LSU. I told them that when they asked me to make a donation to the College of Education.

I want to hear from so many of the "patriots" why the government should compel a national anthem by force of imprisonment and fine. It's not hard.

Landry is anti-constitution, antilibertarian, anti-freedom. He IS a statist

You either didn’t read his letter or have no reading comprehension.
He made a suggestion that the Board make a policy with accountability, just like they have policies on DEI, transsexuals, BLM and such. He didn’t threaten the force of the government.

Uh- not exactly. He “suggested” as you put it that the governing boards of state universities create policies which threaten the force of government against student athletes who have no control over the schedules their coaches set for them.

Well, first you can start by fricking yourself. They gonna learn to respect the flag!!

So your argument is that a team should not have any rules because players can’t control them? How dumb are you?
The suggestion was to have the teams present during the anthem. That’s not a speech issue.
So if Nuss goes on his Twitter right now and starts dropping N bombs, nothing will happen? Where is his free speech??

There are those who use their political support in an all-or-nothing fashion. They think every politician they support is the 2nd Coming of Jesus and they think every politician they don't support is Satan Incarnate. There's no in-between for those lowbrows so anyone pointing out even the slightest negative of their favored politico (no matter how legitimate it may be) is therefore letting the opposition go balls-deep in them.
It happens on both sides of the aisle.

Government shouldn't be able to compel speech, and I'm the a-hole that gets pissed at people that don't take their hats off during the anthem. I've never liked pledging allegiance to the flag (even in high school), I pledge allegiance to the Constitution.
It's not a good look for a state university, but government needs to stay out of it. It's a total waste of time. I get his point, but you have to pick your battles.
