Something tells me O isn’t about the victimization mindset, so no, I don’t think it crossed his mind.

Yes.

Pandering works. Orgeron is actually a great politician. He should've done it just to prevent unrest in the locker room.

Saban doesn't give a frick about any of this and he did it because he knows it could help him win football games.

ETA:

It has been confirmed he didn't know about the march, so no one can blame him for this now.

Absolutely. His biggest recruiting rivals are doing it. You best believe it will be pointed out that O didn’t when these coaches meet with the elite recruits everyone is fighting over.

- It’s difficult to lead a march you don’t know about
- O has said from the beginning he wants players to lead and be at the forefront. That’s building young men up in a positive way. Not a dictatorship.

To be “ down with the movement “-sure.
To have integrity and do what is best for his players, team and society- no.

80% of black kids being born out of wedlock, skyrocketing criminality, failed neighborhoods, crumbling schools, escalating black on black violence, disregard for law enforcement and The Rule of Law, normalizing hating white people, jettisoning all of MLK’s principles about the content of a man’s character in favor of fundamentally un-American Collective Race Guilt- will not change one bit on the dial with a slogan and a march. The entire Movement is infantile and will do nothing to progress the status of black Americans over time. Nothing, nada, zip. It’s actually COUNTERPRODUCTIVE because it continues to pander and normalize all these rampant social pathologies that have made life so ugly for so many black Americans.

I think he should have followed his conscience, not the pressure of any group on any side.

I think he should gather the entire team today and march around campus. And at the end, ask the entire team if there's anyone else who doesn't want to be there. And if there are, show them the door. And whoever is left tell them they've got a season to prepare for and get back to work. Just rip off the band-aid because this shite is becoming ridiculous. Coaches are being held hostage by their players.

ETA: Oh and Orgeron should be in the back of the group so HE is following. Because that's what the players want. The COACH to FOLLOW them.

He should have lead the team - not on a march but by educating them that the victimization crap they've been fed is a lie. That BLM is racist and a political organization, using fools to further its agenda. Play the clips from Marcellus Wiley for them. Play the clips from Herschel Walker for them. Educate them to the BS they are being fed and ultimately used with.

Leading is often hard, especially to do what's right.

Get this trash off the rant. This is doing more harm than good.

According to who? Unfortunately, I think other coaches are going to use this against O for a long time. You already have players from last year's team making comments about how other coaches are handling this. Add that to the criticism Chase received and LSU is looking as bad as can possibly be perceived from the current cultural lens. O should hire the best PR team out there before this whole thing unravels.

Coach O works out, no need for an extra walk that supports a n organization against males, traditional marriage and capitalism..

all 3 things the Black community needs...badly

Coach O should hold a meeting and say the following:



"Each of you are like my sons, and I tell my sons if and when they get pulled over by police and if they don't obey and comply with the officer, things might go bad real quick"

"I expect none of you would do anything close to what Mr Blake did, because if you lived a life like he did, you wouldn't be playing football here or anywhere else, tomorrow, or ever"

"We don't need another missed practice, go for a little walk to find a common bond on right and wrong, I think those things are obvious, take ownership of your choices because they matter"

"Questions?"

If the players have an issue they can GTFO. Not everyone is going to bow down to them their entire lives, cater to their every demand, or always agree with them. Welcome to the real world kids.

No, it’s all for show and a huge act. It’s an election year. No one is oppressed in this country for freaks sake. It’s 2020! Everybody is capable and allowed to do and go anywhere they please at anytime. I’m tired of this crying mentality. Social media(mainly twitter) has brainwashed so many people. I live in a neighborhood where it’s well diverse and everyone gets along and friendly and none of this bs that is blasted on social media.
