re: Scott Woodward responds to Gov. Landry

I don't see "frick off and try to fix the real problems in the state" anywhere in that reply.

Scott didn't throw many daggers back at him like we as fans would desire. I guess this is the game of politics

No, but the Louisiana Dem party did. I hate to say I actually agree with the letter they wrote to Landry.

The people of Louisiana entrusted Governor Jeff Landry to champion their interests, building upon the solid groundwork laid by former Governor John Bel Edwards. Engaging in divisive rhetoric that casts doubt on the abilities of some of Louisiana’s finest female athletes only serves to deepen rifts within our community.

Governor Landry’s recent remarks concerning our Lady Tigers basketball team echo the negative assumptions made by the LA Times regarding a talented group of young women. The Lady Tigers have consistently served as a unifying force at our flagship university, elevating women’s sports and attracting fans from diverse backgrounds to celebrate athletic prowess and female empowerment.

It’s important to recognize that athletes nationwide, across all levels, often miss portions of event openings due to their rigorous pre-game regimens. These individuals are tirelessly working towards achieving excellence, dedicating themselves to intense preparation, strategic planning, physical conditioning, and moments of reflection and prayer as they face their challenges head-on.

We urge Governor Landry to set aside divisive rhetoric and prioritize actionable measures aimed at enhancing education, expanding job opportunities, improving healthcare outcomes, upgrading infrastructure, and fostering safer communities for Louisiana families. These initiatives are crucial for the well-being and prosperity of our state, both now and in the future.

We commend the resilience of these young athletes, Coach Mulkey, and their families in the face of criticism from high-ranking officials, all while showcasing some of the finest athleticism our nation has to offer.

“Really said nothing.”

I think that was the point.. but gave the idiot gov an opportunity to save face..
SW handled it like a professional… ok.. let’s move on.. but remember.. do not put this idiot gov in for another term.

Scott "Bendtheknee" Woodward has spoken.

Perfect response.

Address the Governor's letter. Point out that there has not been a problem with the process. Promise to look at the process anyway. Point out LSU's high ideals.

Don't start a fight where it isn't warranted.

That's an adult response.

Woody's response was measured and the correct one. Considering the football team is NEVER on the field for the anthem, I'm sure the Gov feels like a fool. Pays to think before you speak.

People making this a big deal are insane. Landry needs to shut the frick up though

You are pathetic. Their letter was garbage.

I could have done without the first sentence lauding JBE but the rest was somewhat agreeable and I am a lifelong Repub. Aint much I give the time of day to from the Dem Party.

That was nothing more than jibber jabber on official letterhead. Really said nothing.

That's really all that Landry's remarks deserve. Woodward's letter is an acknowledgement that LSU is aware of the remarks.
