That bill needs to pass if LSU football is interested in competing in the SEC.


And that's a problem. At some point when will fans just say burn it all down?

I’m a Saints fan. LSU could go 6-6 for all I care

Btw if they’re going to start paying players, that means we might get that hypothetical college champs vs worst NFL team game one day

I must have missed something. I thought they were being paid by booster organizations, not the schools. Did that change?

As always with Republicans, one logical step forward means they're going to do stupid shite and take three steps back.

This has already been happening for decades. How else do you think there's a huge Somali population in places like western Nebraska, or Indians flooding the trucking industry via California and Ukranians in lllinois?

This seems like some normal everyday tax-paying schmoe needs to sue the shite out of the state for unequal treatment under the law. Catch a football, no taxes. Work at the school cafeteria, pay taxes. Bunch of nonsense.

It’s just a game.

If you’re hoping for the government to modify tax policy so your team can win a trophy, it may be time to take a step back and give things a really hard look.

How is this legal that one group of people are exempt from taxes but others aren’t? Seems discriminatory to me.

WTF? What do republicans stand for?

And you can’t find out NIL from FOIA?

Outrageous. Democracy dies in darkness.

What next? Censorship by media and big tech to control dissent?

I’m all for reducing taxes, but it should be across the board and not cherry picked. What’s next?…..

Professional athletes to lure them to your state’s team?

CEOs to lure their companies to your state?

Foreign immigrants to get them to move to your state?

Gays?

Single mothers?



I'm all for exempting 50 year old white dudes from paying state taxes.

Nope. Do not like this at all. I hate Republicunts so much. When they finally get power, they do stupid shite like this. Useless and helps nobody.

People wonder why I don't affiliate with the Republican party, it's because of stupid shite like this and what Landry has been doing.
