re: "If you don't like the flag, you don't have to play the sport" - Jeff Landry; interview up

Ok. Just watched the interview. I don't agree with most of what he says but as far as if you are out there for the Anthem and whether you should stand his response was, that's where the university and Board should get involved but if you don't stand for the Anthem then you don't have to play the sports. I do agree with that. And if he wants to have an opinion that universities should require their athletes to be on the court for the Anthem that is his opinion. I disagree but he was speaking in terms of all universities not singling out LSU. This will blow over and in a week or so will be forgotten.

After the first few minutes listening you could tell he is a dumb arse….
wanting a policy- what a fricking idiot

This was beat to death in the media years ago

It’s not like our girls were kneeling…they are never out on the court

By not being out during the anthem controls the actions of the players

Except this all started because he... singled out LSU.

I don't care if others forget about this in a week or so, we should not forget about it.


Our Governor, an ex AG, is doubling-down on having consequences for exercising Free Speech. And he's supposed to be a conservative.

Where is the outrage about cancel-culture amongst his base now?

We, as a state, should not let this die.

Landry is your stereotypical opportunist politician. He doesn't actually give a shite about this but he sees an opportunity to insert himself for grandstanding on a topical outrage issue.

Jeff Landry a political hack? I realized that as soon as he announced the new head of LWF—a young lady from Trump campaign office in South Dakota. She has no professional background in wildlife or fisheries. And then he gave her a raise shortly after the appointment. Crazy as this move today.

Please move this o the moronic grifter board..

His objective was to score cheap points, and probably at LSU's expense

Definitely won’t see any LSU coaches or figures endorsing him next time. I remember this board losing it when O endorsed JBE

Well he stepped on his dick in this case. His natural constituency overlaps pretty strongly with the LSU fan base and going by this thread they ain't happy.
