You haters should get back to us when you donate as much as Odell Beckham does and his impact on kids wanting to play for our school. Until this spare us your self righteous bullshite and go frick yourself

Yep.

OBJ carries more weight with those who will bring LSU even more success. He's not going anywhere.

Has he asked for forgiveness? Because until that happens or until people see him trying to help clean up any mess he made, they’re going to get the impression that he doesn’t think he did anything wrong.

But let’s say he sincerely apologizes to the people affected and doesn’t do it again. Of course it’s forgivable on a personal level. The issue is how much weight that would carry with the NCAA. He could join hands with the whole LSU athletic department and sing kumbaya, but if the NCAA says he can’t be on the sidelines anymore, then he’ll have to understand and accept it. It’s not like he’d have anybody to blame but himself. That said, I think there are things he could do that might help smooth things over with the NCAA, but he still has to handle it a lot more maturely than he handled anything Monday night.

And the 98465365th time, he can be the most amazing, generous, enthusiastic booster in the world and still need to be held accountable for his actions. These two things are not mutually exclusive. Using all of that to try to balance the scale on some obviously bad choices is probably a big part of the reason he made bad choices in the first place. Plus it’s pretty demeaning to a grown man to have people making excuses for him like they would an incorrigible child, even when he’s acting like one. The only reason to do that is if you don’t think he’s capable of anything better.
