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 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."
I don't like this new rap but that's me my concern is now everyone is going to complain about any music played on campus until it there will be no music other than the fight song. And don't put it past people to come after the name Ragin Cajun JMO because as offensive as some say that song was some feel the same about our name. So is this fuss really worth it in the long term.
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.
I'm going to my safe space
