This issue seems to have no redeeming quality for instructional purposes. Everyone should just let it fade away.





There are two takeaways from this that need to be remembered longterm.

1) Our newly elected governor is an objectively stupid man.

2) So many "conservatives" were not just easily tricked, but are happy to continue dancing on strings for the Vile Left rather than admit they were wrong.

It's easier to fool someone than to convince them that they've been fooled.

Making a mistake and doubling down makes one objectively stupid? I bet you every single person on this board has done that at one time or another. Including you.

In such a public manner? Absolutely.

Again, it's the size of the stage he did it on that tells the tale. It would have taken two minutes of research to see that it was a set-up.

If Tiger Band can revoke a band member’s stipend for being caught drinking on an away trip out of uniform while being over 21, then the university has every right to revoke athletic scholarships from student athletes who, while in uniform at athletic competitions, use their spotlight to engage in political grandstanding which the university does not agree with.

With that said, this whole issue is stupid because the team wasn’t doing that regardless, and the governor jumped to conclusions to throw red meat to his base.

That’s coercive backed up by force. None of LSU’s sports teams are protesting anything. Landry is delusional and thinks he is the king.

Agreed. Like what the feds did with social media, right?

Dumb move by Landry. However, the University is free to have a code of conduct. Every university in the country has one.

The athletes have a job to do and that is compete. The coaches have a job to get the athletes ready and organized to compete. Let them do their jobs.

If the governor wants a pregame patriotic performance, send out a team of baton twirlers in red, white and blue uniforms. The teams are busy.

They aren’t employees. If they were you wouldn’t like the results as it pertains to this issue.

Not really relevant to the point. Completely non responsive to the code of conduct point. I did notice you skipped over the comparison of what Landry did to what the feds did with social media. Certainly you agree that was coercion, right?

Dude. You’re a far left wacko. You aren’t fooling anyone.


It’s amazing how Biden got 81 million votes yet we can’t find one person who admits to voting for him.

The Ragin Cajuns are real patriots (stand for the flag/kneel for the cross) and will be the state’s new favored athletic program.

why don't you stop being a big pussy and admit your governor looks stupid, you fell for it too, and you like the idea of state mandated speech? You're doing your best, pitiful as it may be, to laud your governor's actions.

The reason you won't is just the same as a democrat and voting in lockstep with pedophiles but not admitting it: it doesn't fit into your tidy little box, so you'd rather contradict yourself, dig in, and try to fight it out, rather than admit you're on the same level as a DEI hire forcefully making students kneel down in prayer to mother earth in a college classroom.

You're a Landry, statist bootlicker.

Your obsession with that dude is creepy. You really want him to fall off the wagon. It’s strange


He isn’t the concern. It’s the Wisconsin Supreme Court and US 3rd Circuit decisions that should worry you. Make sure you get all your Biden ballots in. Y’all need them this go around.

Again, it is baffling he got 81 million and no one admits to voting for him. Take you for example. A hard core far leftist and you claim you didn’t vote for Biden. It’s amazing.

You’re making it too difficult, they don’t put that much thought into it. Landry is a big Trump guy, until he takes a position contrary to Trump he is deserving of adulation and respect from the cult. By defending him they are essentially defending Trump.
