Maybe someone will respond to his tweet and give him the ultimate Twitter high-5 response of "Good on you"

Ashleigh Clare-Kearney Thigpen


Eh...I guess she's an ok hire after we struck out on our first five candidates. Not my first choice, but could have done worse.

Congrats to her for landing a nice salary for a completely useless and unnecessary job.

Is there really a big concern about a "lack of diversity" in the athletic dept? Does this mean the football team will get a few more white guys on defense? Or the basketball team will get a big, goofy, white center now. Because last I checked, BOTH the football and basketball teams, along with MANY other teams at LSU are pretty diverse.

LSU has numerous black people working in the administration and on the coaching staffs. Over the last 15 years or so they haven't had any reluctance whatsoever in hiring black coaches. But I guess if LSU is determined to keep running with the narrative that "underrepresented" persons STILL need more unmeritorious help then you have to have someone to lead the way.




Can't argue with any of what you wrote, so that makes you a racist and homophobe.

Hey, look, over there! What's that in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's... It's... It's more virtue signalers! They've come to save the day!

In other news, paint is drying somewhere.

For the uninformed, Equity = Communism.

Equality is equal opportunities to achieve a goal. Equity is everyone forced into the same goal.

This genuinely made me laugh.

On the serious side...
PRO: she's a former LSU athlete who is an attorney, and attorney with experience on the legislative side of things which it seems we really need a lot of help navigating where the two meet.

CON: is an attorney, and attorney with experience on the legislative side of things, so she really knows how to just bring the whole machine to a grinding fricking halt if she chose to.

A personal note... a absolutely hate the buzz-word "inclusion". It lacks context but is always presumed to be positive. Inclusion into what? A mass murder? That's negative where you are pulling the trigger or receiving the bullet. Inclusion into the KKK? Seems contradictory; but again, context matters. Inclusion into the Calliope? Does anyone seek that? It's a fake idea. /Rant

LSU continues to demonstrate that they have more money than they need.

I’m trying to figure out which one has more unnecessary words, her name or her job title

I think it’s a new LSU record.
Her office is going to need to have two doors for all that.
I’m impressed.

This appears to be a racially motivated hire.
