So all of this quitting is over that stupid march. Football is supposed to be an escape from everybody's daily grind.
Truth be told I don't give a shite who you vote for. None of my damn business.
What a shitshow

But what if politics made a major difference in our on the field result? I'm not advocating politics but just saying.

Nope

Kids aren’t opting out 4 months later because of the march. Kids aren’t losing themselves millions of dollars by intentionally playing bad to make a point that they aren’t actually sayings

If they wanted to stick it to O they would have quit in August before they put a bunch of bad tape out there.

I don’t buy for one second that March or the BLM shite is a major factor in our current debacle

Not sure what’s hard to understand. Football teams are made up of people who have lives and concerns outside of football. When a large group of people on a team feel a certain way and engage in a concerted act due to those concerns, it’s up to the leadership to respond. Good leaders of men, such as Saban, stood out front with his players and led them. Others, like O, did nothing. When times get tough, seemingly unimportant things like that can make a difference.

Just how much has the rant completely made up in the last few days?

ETA: and why would players quit over the March? Didn’t they WANT to march?

The University shouldn't allow it, do what you want in your own time but don't bring that shite to the field. Their opinion has consequences just like everything else.

Kinda hard when the players are very politically motivated and aware these days.

I wish but we’ve past that point in our country. Politics is our whole lives for the foreseeable future. Welcome to hell

Who are the 12 fools downvoting this?

With all of the benefits received in being an LSU football player, how difficult is it to come do your damn job (play football) and not get in trouble, keep your grades up, and not let other BS get in the way of the objective? They started going downhill when they focused on things other than the reason they are on scholarship at LSU and it is obvious. Get your damn heads on straight and play ball. Nobody gives a frick about the average college student's activism and political views. Same should go for these entitled, privileged athletes.

You are ignorant if you don’t know that politics have now been interjected in all collegiate sports now, and no we are not the ones that asked for it

The more political sports become the more I'll tune out.
