The notion that they are only their for your (white people who don’t agree with their message) entertainment is insulting.

my criticism of their BS activism


Funny how their life experiences is described as BS and activism. Have you even listened to their message before you dismiss it as BS? Aren't you privileged and blessed to not have to go through that horrible experience? All you needed was to be born with white skin. Those girls are going to get their justice if the allegations are true. Wouldn't that be nice for all AMERICANS.

And you automatically assume they can only experience certain things that white people aren't capable of experiencing just because they are of one skin color. Such a racist outlook and perspective.

Like I haven't been the victim of multiple property crimes, intimidation, possible racially motivated incidents and a family member of mine being robbed and murdered, all at the hands of black persons. Most getting off pretty easy due to a lenient, liberal, criminal justice system. I can claim, like many other white people, being affected by the privilege offered to many black people (a joke of a criminal justice system, just the opposite of how they perceive the system, being one) along with direct violence against me and my family by another race but you don't see me fricking whining about how bad I have it. It's a fricking lame arse victim mentality they carry, not any substantive discrimination or inequality. Again, privileged, spoiled athletes who literally get away with rape, complaining about their fans and coach not blindly supporting their lame arse claims.

More assumptions. I know one thing for sure, it's obvious you'd let them peg your race-baiting, excuse-making, cuck arse and you'd love every minute of it.

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



This is not going to happen and without adapting, will prove disastrous.

Can y’all not understand why these young black men wanting to do their part? Just like most every other team?

If you think they’re going to give us any peace anywhere you don’t know communism. But you will soon because it’s here.

Politics and sports have always worked together.


Jackie Robinson used sports to make a difference and the world has never been the same.

I'm confused politics kept blacks out of sports for a long time as well. I would argue politics are what kept Jackie Robinson out of baseball.

Ryan Clark in order to gain clout at espn has dragged his alma mater and its coach through the mud. O shouldn’t have had to use better judgment when speaking about what the President was doing to help football happen this fall but thats where we are today. All O knows is LSU football and would do anything for those kids. BS that he didn’t support the players. You think he would really risk his lockeroom over some stupid political stance he’s probably not even well educated on? Hell no. If Ryan Clark actually put some fricking context to O statement he would see all he was alluding to was Trumps help in trying to get college football. But just always easier to throw the race blanket over everything instead of trying to make any real progress. Get him away from the program.

The problem is the players talk about wanting to have an open dialogue where everyone can say what they feel but that’s really bullshite. What they really mean is they want an open dialogue as long as it lines up with their way of thinking. They don’t want to keep politics and real life separate from football but god forbid someone say they support a president or political party that they don’t agree with. Then there’s anarchy because they got their feelings hurt. It’s all one big load of horseshite. Either agree with their political views or you are a racist plain and simple. Tell me I’m wrong please.

That ship has sailed. 10 years ago I probably would have been upset about the stuff going on at LSU. It still interests me when something out of the ordinary is going on, but I can take it or leave it now. It’s not a galvanizing thing anymore... just another line in the sand.

Then many stop caring so much about LSU football and move on to the next enjoyable escape in life.

Then pretty much every baw I know would turn in their LSU football card, focus on LSU baseball.

Play golf hunt and fish full time in the fall.
I’m 100% serious.

As opposed to you, with your "I'll do and believe anything you say, just so long as I get to watch you play some foosball" mentality. That's rich.
