RCAF looks at effect of profane video

[CajunMarineBBK]

The thing that amazes me at least in my area of friends. All of the LSU people who are all of a sudden concerned with the Cajuns they all have opinions now. And none of them contribute here financially.

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.

NOPE.

Go ask Jim Harris, Scott Farmer and Gerald Hebert how "easy" RCAF money is to replace..

Hahaha exactly. Players come and go. Good Donors, You Want To Keep!

It's always funny how that works. The amount of people saying they no longer support the Cajuns does not match the amount of fans in the stands.

Several friends of mine said on Facebook they will NOT be at the ASU game when they haven't been to a damn game all year....

[CajunMarineBBK]

That is exactly what I am talking about. I see the same thing with a lot of my kitten friends.

[Cajunrunner]

It's all about those clicks...

Exactly.

Dan McDonald and Josh Parrott, and Luke Johnson, actually wanted to see our athletic program be successful.

Tim Buckley doesn't give a ____ about our program.

As an RCAF member as time goes on I have less problems with the players in the video. Let's face they are just mimicking a national feeling of blacks everywhere. I can easily forgive and forget that. The real issue here is how the coach handled it saying we are all hypocrites for choosing trump over Hillary. I think we will lose more donors over huds comments than what the young black males in the video did. For someone who is in charge of a program it sure seems like nothing's ever his fault. Except the wins of course he's quick to take credit for those.

GEAUX, is everything practical, is ethics nowheres?

Freedom of speech is not universal. You are limited at work, in class, and yes maybe even in the locker room. As a counterpoint, the US supreme court and the Civil Liberties Union have strongly limited prayers in class, at schools, and in locker rooms because it 'may' be a burden on atheists, and non christians. This song is political regardless of how you look at it, and to allow it may be a burden to Trump supporters on the team.

Me, personally, think it is not a big deal in the locker room, nor are prayers, but to be consistent if you severely limit and ban one you must do the other. In some things expediency or profit cannot be the the sole measure.

People quick to limit things should remember more freedom is usually better, and the sword swings and cuts both ways. The best thing for this whole thing is to forget it, but Hud should teach these young men that tolerance and consideration of others in a group setting is very important.

As for Hud? He gets no pass from me, a man his age should and could have deflected that question without insulting the people who contribute to his salary, and the players comforts. In saying that, I am not calling for his head, only that his sin is forgivable when he truly recants and I doubt he has because we have a book on Hud.

That's not anywhere close to what he said.

Remember how Eric N., Marsha S., Bruce B, and Dan M. were all rounded up for stories when the Advertiser went on a week long maniacal binge back in 05?
