Twitter, Facebook, et. al. have policies. Those policies should be enforced evenly across the board. If Trump broke a rule that violates those companies’ policies he should face the consequences, as should any other person that uses the platform. Race, religion, political party, etc. shouldn’t matter. They also should have never made an exception for public leaders as it just created this area of controversy.

Also, it’s the fricking internet and he’s the fricking POTUS and a billionaire. Make another fricking website where you can spew your bullshite and people will still go read it.

3) LSU has had its most success with white QBs. (its not racist, its a fact.)

Saying it’s not racist doesn’t mean it’s not racist. The fact that this is the correlation you draw between successful vs non-successful quarterbacks is what is racist. Your implied argument is that the quarterbacks are more successful because they are white. Did you consider maybe those quarterbacks were more successful for other, non-race related reasons? Did you look at their 40 times, bench press, test scores? No, you jumped straight to race. That’s what makes it racist.

I’ve been following this pretty closely and someone posted somewhere (that I can’t recall) their tax information and it said they get around $100k per year in donations, and spend about $70k per year, with $60k being food and $10k being rent and insurance.

At least when I knew him his parents didn't know he was gay, and I never got the impression they talked about things like that. I didn't know his parents, only meeting them very briefly at our graduation, so I don't know what their thoughts in general were on homosexuality, but if he kept it from them I guess he felt they wouldn't be ok with it.

I didn't go to LSU. And I would have only seen him during summer and on weekends... so I never would have seen him go to class or anything, but he moved to Baton Rouge to go to LSU, and there was no reason for me to doubt that's what he was doing. I'm trying to remember if I ever saw textbooks or anything at his place and I just can't. He actually didn't start at LSU. Spent his first semester at George Washington University before transfering to LSU for reasons I don't think he ever told the truth about (grades or parents didn't want to pay, I would guess). He used to have pictures on social media from his time at GWU, but after that he stopped posting pretty much ever on social media, and now everything but his profile picture, which is his dog, are deleted.

Weird - yes. But we were all weird at LSMSA. I wouldn't have said he was any weirder than anyone else there, though some of my classmates have disagreed with me and described him as unstable as we've talked about it the past few days. If he was, it definitely wasn't to a level that was disturbing, at least to me. Drugs, also yes, but again, it wasn't uncommon there. He did go beyond just the normal recreational pot though. Dabbled in Crystal Meth, among other things, but AFAIK that didn't turn into any kind of addiction or anything. He had a handful of really close friends, but wasn't very social in general. Mostly kept to his dorm room except for class and meals, and even meals he preferred to get delivery to the dorms and eat in his room.

Honestly, and I hope I don't regret admitting this, he was a good friend of mine back then. We ended up going to different schools, but I'm from the Baton Rouge area so when I would come home to visit my family I would occasionally visit him as well. Last time I spoke to him was over 9 years ago... we would have both been sophomores in college the last time we spoke. He was arrested from the same apartment complex he lived in back then. He wasn't nice or compassionate, but I never once got an evil or deranged vibe. He had an assholish, derisive sense of humor. He was smart and clever (but definitely not charming), and most of the time even if you were the target of his jokes you couldn't help but laugh.

I cannot imagine what happened to him in the years since we last spoke that could have led to this. I have no sympathy or pity for him, and whatever happens to him next, he deserves it, but I can't help but feel like the guy I thought I knew died with his parents.

Oh come on I'm just looking for some friendly banter

Sorry if Germans, but interested in hearing people's opinions on this article.

What would happen if the NCAA dissolved and/or players started getting paid? Would players just start skipping college altogether to go to the NFL (assuming that becomes allowed, which why wouldn't it be in these circumstances?) Or would college ball become the minor league of football (which I guess in some ways you could argue it is already).

Honestly the idea scares me not because I care if players get paid but because I'm not a huge pro football (actually, I'm not a huge football fan, I'm just a huge as hell LSU fan) and I would hate to see college athletics destroyed by this money issue.

Highly disappointing. I was very much looking forward to playing this game.
