RCAF looks at effect of profane video

[CajunT]

I fully expect Hud to deliver. This negative event can be used as a positive if the players receive this in a positive manner; a good selling point to parents of recruits. Don't think football in general can pull off a personal responsibility contract like baseball, but this may tighten personal accountability and the locker room.

Zoom, I'm all for accountability! Perhaps it's time to try it?

Why not?

Because we don't have the money to recruit deeply because some kids said some vulgar stuff about Donald Trump?

They better be careful....remember the demographics student athletes. If they want to win...they may want to let this one go or the Cajuns may not be able to sign black athletes in the area for a long time.

I still side with HUD. He spends more time with these kids than anyone else, he knows they are kids. None of these kids committed crimes.

RCAF money can easily be replaced...good area athletes and a reputation of not feeling welcomed.....not so much.

These are not the kind of student athletes the university was built on...we don't want them or their coach...

[Tell The Truth]

This was a private matter that happened in a private locker room. Why should the way he dealt with it be made public?

Just who do you think pays for that lockerroom....not these thugs...local and state $$$$

There's difference between being offended and being intimidated. Intimidation is when a person threatens to harm another person. There is obviously nothing intimidating about singing a song that shares a political perspective.

I can assure you there is no campus policy against political speech, no matter how offended it might make someone.

I'm pretty sure they can use the intimidation policy to shut down similar music in public areas on campus. If you're playing a song that says F "the C word", some females would find it intimidating... not just offensive. If you play a song that says F "the N word", some blacks would find it intimidating. If you play a song that says "F Gays", some people would find that intimidating.

Persons could claim songs like this are intimidating. The university is not going to split hairs with you, or someone standing firm on the term "intimidate". The song will be removed under this policy. They very likely avoided the term "offensive" due to the free speech defense. There's a reason they use "intimidate". It gives the institution the discretion to remove the "hate speech".

Better not talk about Coach Scam and personal responsibility...don't want his past personal issues coming to light.

I said nothing about the Tigue. Although I do happen to have knowledge that Buckley (and Johnson) was trying for weeks to get something on the record to no avail.

"Past observation"?

I disagree with you as to whether Buckley cares about UL athletics. But again, it does not matter one bit whether a journalist "cares" about a particular program. A journalist does not need to care for a program, but must care for his work.

For what it's worth, I've sat next to Buckley in the press box on a few occasions, as well as talking to him periodically since I graduated, and from those experiences (which are more than any "observations" you make while reading his articles), I can say that Buckley doesn't "not care one bit" about UL athletics. Does he care? I don't know. You need to ask him. But I can say he doesn't "not care."

Sorry. It was someone else who mentioned the Tigue fiasco in response to my post.

But my statement on Buckley remains, and I'm not the only one with that stance. Not by a longshot.

Say anything about the Orange Wonder and folks lose their ****. But we love him because he "tells it like it is."

What a clown show.

Don't frickin donate if you're that damn soft and squishy. Watch our program suck.

What a joke. What a soft fanbase.

You seem to be a good guy, JJL. But you need to stop encouraging the butt hurt anti Trump people. Soon, UL and America will be great again. Eat an orange. Eat a carrot. Enjoy the Orange Wonder!

I'm going to my safe space

The fumble was B U T T H U R T. It was an important descriptor and had to be said.

Well ____. Now where is he going to find another one?
