Sounds like there is more to this story than what has been reported.

Yeh.....I dont know why we all need to be "team chase" here and kiss his arse


I wish him no ill will and he made his decision. But why in the hell should lsu fans be "happy for" a player that leaves the team high and dry 4 weeks before kickoff? And it sure looks like he did it without giving coach O respect

What is there to talk about, their son is not part of the team and there are actual LSU players that need his attention. They made their decision and at this point I could care less. I hope Chase has a great career, he was a fun tiger to watch, he will always be a Tiger, but time to move on.

Something strange going on over there...probably a combination of covid worries, race issues, and Ryan Clark fanning the flames.

O is moving on. Probably talked to Chase and wished him good luck, but he isn't going to sit there and stroke Dad'd feelings. He's got games to win with the guys that are still there. That's how business works when someone moves on.

My guess is the coaching staff was completely caught off guard.

Chase told someone and they let it slip or the staff and then CBS reported on it without chase having the chance to break the news.

Yeah at this point I'm not sure why they're still entertaining interviews with Jimmy Chase. Ja'Marr was a great Tiger and has chosen to move on, the team and media should do so as well.

Confirms at least part of his decision was to spite O. He/they didn’t like how he wasn’t slurping the BLM koolaid

I’m sick of hearing about Chase’s dad. Your son doesn’t play here anymore. Kindly go away.

Does it even matter anymore? Lets all wish Chase well, regardless of what you think of his decision and get behind Coach O. Players come and go, but coaches are always here for the long haul.

It would be so awesome if LSU can pull out an 8-2 season after all they have lost. Shut the haters up.

Chase’s dad also said there were no outside influences on their decision from agents or Ryan Clark or anything like that, and that it was just “common sense”. When asked why now, he said “when is a good time?”

The rumor is that people think, because O is a Trump supporter, that he is by default racist and cannot understand the BLM movement or empathize with the black players.

It sounds crazy, but the narrative is if you're Trump, then you are racist by default and hateful. That is what O is facing right now. His time on FOX news was more detrimental than beneficial at this present moment. That's also when Ryan Clark became VERY vocal about no longer supporting LSU and being all ASU because of the culture of the coach.

This country is no longer free because you cannot have an opinion that differs from the mob without backlash or being cancelled.

At this moment, I wouldn't mind if the season was cancelled until things calm down. I mostly wanted the season so guys like Chase could still play, but if they don't want to, what's the point of wanting to play this season if we're being set up to fail? The players are holding O hostage for his beliefs, and that is so wrong.

Chase's dad said HE hasn't talked to Coach O. He spoke to a couple of assistant coaches. He didn't say Ja'marr didn't speak to O.

I put it on just soon enough to hear t bob say this has nothing to do with protests and those who think so are politicizing this for their own reasons (presumably conservatives).

Then I just read that chases dad said it was a perfect storm of pandemic social injustice and politics.

He also said during the announcement that this isnt pandemic related.

Wouldn't that pretty much mean that its very social injustice influenced?

He has a right to leave for whatever reason he wants but to say its not really covid related initially and then somewhat backtrack just means they gauged the publics reaction and decided to just keep the reason private.

When I heard him say that, my first thought was "that's the only piece that the rantards are going to take away from this interview". He specifically said that the decision had nothing to do with all of this other crap that everyone is wanting to keep stirring up and that it was due to all of the uncertainties and risks around the current COVID-impacted season vs. the certainty of being a top pick and guaranteed millions.

They obviously talked with Coach O when he made the decision to leave. After that, what is there to talk about? Move on.

You want to be a man then man up and talk to your coach. And if daddy Chase advised him otherwise then that's bad parenting.

TYFYS, now bye.

He also didn’t mention social justice in his list of reasons why he didn’t play.
