Funny how it’s okay for Kapernick to kneel because he sought the advice of a green baret. I wonder how many people he talked to before he found one that would agree with his reasons for kneeling? And like the guy referenced, they kneel to honor fallen heroes. Where are these heroes that Kapernick was kneeling for? Do you guys realize that George Floyd once HELD a GUN to a BLACK PREGNANT WOMAN while he and his friends robbed her? I absolutely agree that he should not of been killed. I think it was something personal as the two men knew each other. Anyway, I wonder how the woman he once held a gun to now feels about the way America is honoring this fool. He was up to no good and was treated horribly by a former acquaintance that should be in jail. Nearly $15,000,000 has been raised on gofundme. I wonder if the recipients will pay it forward to the woman and child he terrorized? Back on topic... I will boo and boo loudly! I’ve been known since a young college student to tell other young punks to take off their hats during the National Anthem. Hell, I’ve even told old guys to stop talking when they were too engrossed in their conversation to even realize the anthem was playing. I’ll continue being that guy. Blame my grandparents and my stepdad. Shut up and honor your country and all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives to give us the freedom that we take for granted. Don’t be scum and sure and the hell don’t honor scum! I knew my words would get twisted. And, that's okay.
And I knew someone would bring up the socks (which was later). I'm waiting for T to bring up Che Guevara and then we will have come full circle.
I have always said I don't like what he did. I've also always said that, under the First Amendment, he has the right to do it. And, you have the right to boo lustily if you feel like it. That is YOUR right under the First Amendment.
What was twisted? I feel we have both stated facts. It’s not like we haven’t heard that story before. It doesn’t make it right because a green beret recommended he do it. So why bring it up? It is his 1st Amendment right to do so. I don’t think anyone has said that it wasn’t. But thousands upon thousands have an issue with it - not just me. Why the need to support his stance with that story? And you’re right, it is my right to boo....and I will if I see it! |

Every one is entitled to their level of reaction. It will be interesting to see where this all plays out on all levels now that it appears the doors have been opened. |

My concern is what the university does. |

This will be just another event in a long line of them which will play a part in the ultimate financial stability of our athletic department and university. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the long haul.

The Cajun powers that be. Now the question will be - what will the rest of the “they” do. We all know what you will do as you have unequivocally announced it. But you are just one person. We can suspect what judo will do as he has somewhat announced it. We know what I will do as I have announced it. What we don’t know is what the rest of the Cajun Nation will do. I suspect some will celebrate the National Anthem as they always have, standing tall with their hat in hand over their heart and facing the flag. Others may choose to celebrate the National Anthem from the beer line where they do not have to see the protest. Others may choose to celebrate the National Anthem from their tailgating spot and enter the stadium after it has been played, choosing not to see the protest. Others will just stop going and stop watching on TV. Others will go farther and also stop giving. i believe pro sports will take a bigger hit than college sports from the protests. At the college level, many may feel that their allegiance to the university is far greater than the effect of the protest and will continue just as they have in the past. There is nothing wrong with that. It it will be interesting to see where this all plays out at every level. |

Remember when the NFL stayed in their locker rooms during the anthem? Remember why they started coming out for the show of patriotism? Yeah it was DOD money to the NFL. Super patriotic stuff right there. And remember those that have an issue with someone kneeling, make sure when you are at home watching a game on TV, you stand for the anthem.
I, for one, am tired of all the cancel culture going on.

I can protest what they protest, right? |
