I mean if LSU wants to play politics, I think it’s fair that the public ask their stance on other controversial issues.

This is why it is really short-sighted for coaches to enter into partisan politics in the mercurial word of college football. Why purposely alienate any segment of fans/boosters whose support the coach may need when a coach experiences a bad season?

No shite. They actually ran out with our great flag. That is awesome. If i decide to watch college football this year, i will check them out .MAGA

This is exactly how I feel. Being that I used to be a MSU fan it would take the President of the University and the Athletic Director to sit in my living room and apologize for bringing politics into sports. They can also apologize for calling me a hate filled, racist-bigot. Even after that I might just not buy that as you stated:

"That would be a good start, but the truth is that I’m done with this generation of athletes and coaches who pushed all this as well. I’ll never believe an apology from any of them. It’ll all be an attempt to get viewers (money) back.

Nah...I’m good, thanks."

When a team goes soft and goes the victim route, then last night is what even a National Champion has happen

Buy into victimization, then you’re a victim!

Why democrat party never accomplishes anything and just campaigns against stuff!

Support for black athletes? No concern for athletes of any other race? No acknowledgement that the only reason most of these black athletes even sniff a college campus is because they are athletic freaks?

Oh FFS. There is no goddamn racism to speak of unless you want to count the lower scores black people need to get into schools, the diversity quotas that give unqualified black people jobs over others, the thousands of government grants available only to non-whites, and terrible behavior being excused due to their skin color.

People for the most part are treated by how they act. Even pretending that racism against blacks is a problem in modern America contributes to the lies and division. The biggest problem for black people is themselves. Might as well be united against alien abductions since that occurs as frequently as blacks being kept down by racism. A smart, hard-working black person can punch his/her own ticket in corporate America. They are vastly overrepresented in my company. They even have special programs for minorities interested in moving up in the company. No such program exists for white people.

These people are paid to entertain, nothing more. We don't need any message from them. They can say all they want on their free time. Keep it off the game broadcast.

Strong.

I really don't think that those who deal directly with the sorely misguided/biased/brainwashed YOUTHFUL Players, yet realize the dire consequences wrought by their Administrative blunders. They should guide the Players, not be emotionally strong armed by them...just like Drew Brees.

The Players will have years to reflect back on the fact that they killed the goose that lay the golden eggs. Either that...or embrace the overt Egalitarian Ideology (Marxism/Racism) that is at the core of the BLM Movement which they champion, and sacrifice for. And though they don't yet realize it, the sacrifice will become apparent.

The Constitution was/is rock solid. But it only works "for a moral and Religious people". The ability to discern REAL Morality and Religion...being key. A ton of Ego and false pride plays in. A 3 yr. old can haver their innocent/simplistic feelings hurt when called to account. Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Funny you mention assessment...honestly I think admins are more focused on catering to the outrageous policies on assessment and how you can measure it quantitatively opposed to you know just teaching students and using tests and projects to assess the material taught.

Education programs are the absolute worst as it’s a weird vicious cycle of teaching teachers without really teaching them how to teach a subject or how to handle various situations (I.e., how to handle a unruly student or how to encourage more class discussion) but assessing whether they can teach based a rubric that constantly tweaks.

I honestly wish that this system more than anything gets changed. Idk if federal dollars are dispensed cause of this, but it needs to be significantly reduced if not eliminated.

They have a real issue with academics. Until my kid started there I had no idea how bad it had become. They still seem to be testing/assessing at higher standards but a large majority of instructors and professors are merely collecting a paycheck.

Whoa, are you talking about LSU or High Schools?

I’m talking about LSU. I’m saying the overall quality of a degree likely hasn’t diminished yet because tests and other assessments still seem to be strong. I’m saying the quality of instruction is poor or declining in many areas. As an alum (coming from a long line of LSU grads) I was thrilled when my son chose LSU. I can’t see a scenario where I would encourage my younger ones to go there. I would actively discourage it. LSU has some real problems that need to be addressed.

The one “bright” spot in this is my kid ends up teaching himself a lot of the material and knows it very well. The sad part is we/the taxpayers are paying for this.
