The lesson here for him is that someone probably gave him the t-shirt and conveniently got him to post a pic of it. the people who gave it to him don't give a rats arse what happens to him or his image - they are just using him for a free billboard, consequences be damned.


Exactly what is the probability that this is the way it occurred?

Im pretty sure that's the same reason Lebron put on the "I can't breathe shirt"
. :banghead:

He's taking a stand, it's pretty obvious.

again the extreme lack of empathy is just mind blowing.

The disconnect between the lives of the players on the team and the people that cheer for them is night and day.

You moved the pic to the OT. A thread is started on the SECr about the fricking car.

Just chill out. It ain't a big deal and will pass over in a few days. He certainly didn't do anything wrong or los his Heisman hopes. Let it die is all I'm saying.

“I won’t react to something just because I’m supposed to, because I’m an African-American,” Bryant said. “That argument doesn’t make any sense to me. So we want to advance as a society and a culture, but, say, if something happens to an African-American we immediately come to his defense? Yet you want to talk about how far we’ve progressed as a society? Well, we’ve progressed as a society, then don’t jump to somebody’s defense just because they’re African-American. You sit and you listen to the facts just like you would in any other situation, right? So I won’t assert myself.”

Nice edit on the frickboy. Was that a response to the frick toy?

I'm right down the road, bud. I can show you my knuckles at the WinnDixie on Jeff Hwy while I thumb rocks in your ears.

I honestly had no clue. I'm not from the Nola area. Not familiar with Harahan besides it is a speed trap on River road


Eta: although the confederate flag fiasco Monday was a hoot

This wasn't a smart decision by LF; need to find out the facts.

People keep saying it's a bad move because LF7 is wearing a shirt with Alton Sterling face on it. The people also keeps saying he needs to get all the right facts, but the people saying this don't have all the facts. You don't want him to wear it because he's the face of the LSU program, but when he takes those pads off and walks out that locker room in January 2017, no one will care what he does. He was a super hero and a great ambassador of the program when he donated/auctioned his uniform to SC. But he does this and now it's not a good look. If he doesn't have all the facts, what makes you guys think y'all have all of the facts.

The first step one should take toward a normal life in the greatest most opportunistic country in the world is to become solely and American and cut out the hyphenated, divisive BS. We are all Americans. If you separate yourself by race you are by definition a racist.

Only in America do people scream racism and then separate themselves by their race and claim they are not racist. Counter intuitive maybe...
