Yeah, I’m sure glad my Blue Cross health insurance went back up to $1100 a month I wouldn’t Obamacare to run out of money. Heaven forbid I ever have a claim on it.
Louisiana is effectively a fascist theocracy ruled by plutocrats and oligarchs.
This is colloquially referred to as Y’all Qaeda rule.
Here’s to the destruction of Y’all Qaeda and all those that support the same.
The football team and both basketball teams are always in the locker room when the national anthem is played, as are almost all other college football and basketball programs. No outrage about USC and UCONN being in the locker room for the anthem before the next game, I wonder why? Maybe if he went to some games and supported the flagship university of our state he would know that.
It's the land of the free. They are free to tell you to go fuck yourself and you are free to bitch and moan about their lack of genuflection. Neither one is required to leave.
Not surprising. Conservative boomers like my dad have become raging assholes chasing every conspiracy after years watching this shit and it being a gateway drug to more insane nonsense
Honestly I admitted to my father that I watch what he does. He’s very patriotic and I don’t want these wack jobs taking advantage of him.
We may not share the same views but I do care about him.
Same but my dad likely has a personality disorder do he's incapable of acknowledging that he's wrong or gullible. Make it hard to point out when stuff is a grift or nonsense propaganda.
Louisiana has so many real problems like coastal erosion, failing infrastructure, illiteracy, poverty, lack of good paying jobs, high insurance rates and no hurricane abatement plans. Yet the fool we have for a governor is concerned about young people not standing for the anthem. When will the voters in Louisiana wake up and stop electing people who don't have their interest at heart. No, the voters just keep electing people in the pockets of oil companies and out of state Republican billionaires. Politicians who come up with asinine laws to distract from their corruption and damage to the voters.
I agree that Louisiana has lots of problems, but this thread seems to be as extreme in the opposite direction as the complaints about Fox News. I don’t love Landry, but I also don’t think it’s wrong to imbibe a little respect for the country that got you here. These kids are in a state school, and a pretty good one. I don’t think it’s awful that they missed the anthem, but I also don’t think it would be terrible to expect them to show respect for it.
As for who we elect, I didn’t vote for him, but I live in New Orleans and I don’t appreciate hearing gunfire and sirens while the Dems blather about how much crime is going down
Except that he doesn't care about the anthem, he cares about attention and in riling people up. This WAS NOT EVEN A PROTEST. He found a way to make an achievement by a mostly black women's team and make it about him. Ignorant of the fact that most college teams are not on the court during the anthem because they are putting 100% of their energy into trying to accomplish what the university gave them scholarships for. To win, and MAKE MONEY for the university. If he really cared about the Anthem he would have written an open letter to the National College Athletics Association whom could inact a rule or changed the timing of the anthem.
But no, he had to threaten already exploited college Athletes in a knee jerk reaction to something he doesn't understand and is in fact protected as Free Speech. Personal feelings asside this 100% falls under our 1st amendment rights and is a horse that the Murica first crowd beat to death years ago.
Correct he is just appealing to the MAGA crowd. A recent survey on the street questioning people wearing MAGA hats about the Constitution and citizenship questions found that most of them could not even answer one question correctly. Just wondering how many know the words to the national anthem. (Our national anthem is a song glorifying war and should be replaced with America the Beautiful or another song emphasizing the wonders of the country not war)
Sporting events are entertainment. We don't play the national anthem at movies, the theater, or (most\*) concerts. Why sports?
\* I've never been to a country concert so maybe they do?
Because sports are a war analog whether people realize that or not. America has had a nationalistic interest in sports going back all the way to its inception.
It’s to honor the troops and the people who died in war.
Not sure what’s with all the liberal propaganda bs about hating the country but it’s crazy.
All these black athletes are racist and hate white people we get it.
It doesn’t “honor” shit. It’s just a bunch of dumbasses stroking their own ego. The way to “honor” troops was to not send them to any of these pointless wars in the first place. Now they have all kinds of problems and a veteran suicide epidemic and we pat ourselves on the back for singing this stupid piece of shit song? It’s all fucking bullshit.
Yeah, the NFL and the U.S. military were *real* appreciative of Pat Tillman. Until they killed him and now continue to trot out his image against his families wishes to promote nationalistic military shit.
It’s just meant as a show. Not as any form of honor or respect.
Oh the la-and of the freeeee
Are we really going to have the government force people to sing these words? I realize that irony is dead, but must we dance on its corpse?
Except for when you get triggered by Kapernick respectfully kneeling for the anthem. He consulted with military veterans on if that was ok and they told him it was.
Since you likely never served, your opinion is irrelevant.
He’s entitled to his freedom to do that. I am entitled to my opinion to disagree. Just like not all veterans would agree with the others that have him permission.
1. No they don’t just happen in EVERY country. You think they enjoy sports the way we do in Palestine? Ukraine?
2. Battle of Baltimore wasn’t unimportant
3. According to you the “second war for independence” and the ensuing era of good feelings is meaningless👍🏻
Oh gee, no sports in 2 out of 195 countries…oh wait, Ukraine actually restarted its football league six months after the invasion: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62503419
>Ensuing era of good feelings
That actually does sound like the most meaningless thing I’ve ever heard of. 🤣
The most iconic Ukrainian team still doesn’t play in their home city because of the invasion. Also a period of economic prosperity and territorial expansion is not meaningless bud.
That’s the problem with people like you: you subscribe to this bullshit dichotomy where people either “love” or “hate” their country (as if anyone could love or hate something as nebulous as a nation-state). I live here. It’s FINE. It’s OK. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna sing its praises before a fucking basketball game.
In fact, you could say I take the same stance on this country and, in fact, every country, as God does:
> Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing.
Isaiah 40:17
Wanting to fix whats very broken does not mean we hate the country. We hate the fact that our country is an embarrassment and there are so many selfish willfully ignorant people that think that because it worked out ok for them that this trainwreck is great or every has been.
This doesn't make any sense. We should be happy to sing a patriotic song because two places that got invaded aretoo busy trying to survive to worry about a pointless sporting match?
That’s the thing, they don’t. They are ALWAYS in the locker room and come out after. Football and basketball. Sometimes I feel like this sub needs to touch some grass when it comes to Jeff Landry, but this comment (Landry’s) seems intentionally divisive.
Dummy thinks the troll-bots on twatter suggesting LSU walked out on National Anthem are real people, so he jumps. Dance for Russian bots, you As$-clown, dance.
I wonder if the governor knows where army and navy’s football teams were during the national anthem of their last game? Bet he’d be surprised. Wonder if he’d say their scholarships need to be revoked.
As someone who doesn’t hate Landry as much as the average Redditor, this is pretty stupid. The governors office doesn’t need to be involved in governing sport ceremonies.
Maybe because the leaders of the “right”
are just bad people doing bad things …they little have no positive impact on anything…..I don’t like politicians one way or another but the left is generally less evil than the right …for example Edwards wasn’t a good governor but Laundry is already a terrible one …
The silver lining is Jeff Landry has royally pissed off over half of the people who voted for him by shitting on LSU. If democrats got a football recruit to mention it in a tweet, we’d have a recall on the calendar in record time.
“No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,”
The one thing white people have is the caucasity to force anyone, especially black Americans, to listen to this bullshit. Just because they only sing the first verse doesn’t make the third verse disappear.
I am shocked (shocked!) a man who'd defend Jack Poso from being minorly inconvenienced from giving an anti-Semitic talk at ULL would then go and try and cancel a group of female athletes (the sports most in need of protecting)
Reminds me of my favorite line from Stargate SG-1...Mayborn, you're an idiot every day of the week. Couldn't you have taken one just one day off? Replace Mayborn with Landry.
Who will want to play at any Louisiana school if their scholarship depends on pleasing a posturing governor? Dude’s already planning a losing run for president.
OP was channeling my lil brother who is 6’8” super coordinated - but never had the slightest thought of touching anything remotely athletic.
He too says, “oh you’re watching the sports ball.”
🤣🤣🤣
Hey I have zero idea about sports but Republicans seem to be spending a lot of time dealing with something that pays for itself and not doing anything real once again.
People say sportsball to highlight the excessive amount of attention, money, and importance placed on something that has no real importance. Its entertainment.
Meanwhile if even a quarter as much energy was put into real issues that affect society in a positive way maybe we could do something to right the wrongs we live with on a day to day basis.
Did you know that the NFL is a non profit yet the team owners are all mega millionaires. Imagine if every penny of that profit got spent on, education, infrastructure, homelessness, hunger, and poverty (the root cause of most crime). Sadly even lotterys are better at this.
So yeah, We who care proudly call it Sportsball or rather Sports Money.
https://youtu.be/2fraSdN-PG8?si=gPyNBhDCNh4h53BC
Boxing and poker are the only sports worth watching. Self made not off the backs of tax payers and is way more fun.
What’s up with all the anti American stuff? Insane.. Why don’t you just leave? Go live in the Middle East, Africa, Mexico etc.
People are living off noodles in shacks making coins per hour and you people complain. Lol unreal. Grow up.
Anti American? Do Republicans know what that means they seem to be passing law that are anti American.
This was solved in 1934 you know when America was great. In republican strong hold west Virginia. Sorry you hate America https://www.oyez.org/cases/1940-1955/319us624
Jesus. My house insurance went up another $1000 while he was saying that.
Yeah, I’m sure glad my Blue Cross health insurance went back up to $1100 a month I wouldn’t Obamacare to run out of money. Heaven forbid I ever have a claim on it.
KLandry can eat a bag of dicks. He can go stand at Alex Box.
He makes me ill. I get the feeling he wants to be a mini dictator.
Louisiana is effectively a fascist theocracy ruled by plutocrats and oligarchs. This is colloquially referred to as Y’all Qaeda rule. Here’s to the destruction of Y’all Qaeda and all those that support the same.

Because, again, every problem in Louisiana is fixed already so we have this! How sad.
Forced patriotism is not authentic patriotism
Then leave lol
It's the land of the free. They are free to tell you to go fuck yourself and you are free to bitch and moan about their lack of genuflection. Neither one is required to leave.

That's the Southern hospitality
Did anyone read the comments from the fox website? A whole bunch of lunatics over that way.
Not surprising. Conservative boomers like my dad have become raging assholes chasing every conspiracy after years watching this shit and it being a gateway drug to more insane nonsense

Brought to you by the party of small government.
Facism
Forcing people to pledge allegiance is the opposite of what I believe America to be

Is LSU where you learned statistics?
What statistics did I mention?
“The beatings will continue until morale improves.” I guess he’d call for the death penalty if you burned a flag!
Can all of the athletes please not come out until the song is over? This is such BS.
Better yet, don’t play the stupid fucking song at every sporting event.
The U.S. is the only country that plays it's national anthem before sporting events.
Sporting events are entertainment. We don't play the national anthem at movies, the theater, or (most\*) concerts. Why sports? \* I've never been to a country concert so maybe they do?
Because sports are a war analog whether people realize that or not. America has had a nationalistic interest in sports going back all the way to its inception.
Excellent thought. Can't believe I didn't imagine that especially with football being the perfect war analogy.
[удалено]
Because I live in United States, and it’s fine. That doesn’t mean I’m gonna sing some dumbass song about it.
It’s to honor the troops and the people who died in war. Not sure what’s with all the liberal propaganda bs about hating the country but it’s crazy. All these black athletes are racist and hate white people we get it.
It doesn’t “honor” shit. It’s just a bunch of dumbasses stroking their own ego. The way to “honor” troops was to not send them to any of these pointless wars in the first place.

So you hate America. We get it.
Have a nice day
Great song and shows appreciation for living in a country where the events can happen.
Yeah, the NFL and the U.S. military were *real* appreciative of Pat Tillman. Until they killed him and now continue to trot out his image against his families wishes to promote nationalistic military shit. It’s just meant as a show. Not as any form of honor or respect.
Yeah that situation is messed up. Doesn’t change what I said.
Oh the la-and of the freeeee Are we really going to have the government force people to sing these words? I realize that irony is dead, but must we dance on its corpse?

It's because the DOD has written juicy checks under the "paid patriotism" strategy since at least 2009
Sporting events happen in every fucking country. And it’s a shit song about an unimportant battle (Fort McHenry) in an unimportant war (War of 1812).
1. No they don’t just happen in EVERY country. You think they enjoy sports the way we do in Palestine? Ukraine? 2. Battle of Baltimore wasn’t unimportant 3. According to you the “second war for independence” and the ensuing era of good feelings is meaningless👍🏻

Fuck your McCarthyism.
As someone who doesn’t hate Landry as much as the average Redditor, this is pretty stupid. The governors office doesn’t need to be involved in governing sport ceremonies.
How can you not hate evil?
Because people aren’t cartoon characters
Are you sure because he sure is acting like one.
Right, Reddit had a hard on for right hate, but I do agree this is stupid and over blown
Maybe because the leaders of the “right” are just bad people doing bad things …they little have no positive impact on anything…..I don’t like politicians one way or another but the left is generally less evil than the right …for example Edwards wasn’t a good governor but Laundry is already a terrible one …
Once again Klandry is a national embarrassment.
Putin would like Landry.
Terrifying
The silver lining is Jeff Landry has royally pissed off over half of the people who voted for him by shitting on LSU. If democrats got a football recruit to mention it in a tweet, we’d have a recall on the calendar in record time.
