You're hired

[SlickRick]

Even in the “woke” phase society is in, each passing day the relevance of “Lights Out…” fades away. The injustices of the past collectively fade away and are replaced with the ones of today. Sadly, I’m astounded some days where some people react like today’s failings of man are something new, but they’re documented in the Bible from pretty much the beginning. And if God isn’t your thing, from the day two cavemen could dominate one. It is ironic to watch players have social justice slogans on their athletic gear made by Nike’. Protesting social injustice by wearing gear made by slave labor.
It’s why the NBA is dead to me.

Right on!

It is also ironic to watch Big Tech fight tooth and nail against regulation of the internet in the name of "Freedom of Speech" while censoring the free speech of their subscribers.

As an aside, I am also opposed to federal regulation of the internet, as any such regulation is clearly a violation of personal freedoms. Then again, I am not impeding any other person's freedom of speech or expression.

This Ayatollah Khomeini is ok for Twitter. DJT not allowed. The hypocrisy of big tech is horrible.

You may or may not remember my comments a few months ago where we had lost roughly eleven athletic staff members and did not replace them. This stemmed from not making cutbacks during COVID when many universities laid off members or put them on furlough.Thanks a lot J-Bird!

Well, things are getting better now.

They've hired a video person, for starters. And, they are going to hire two more. None of them will be just like Doug Domingue as everyone has their own ideas about video. And, this insures none of them will be as overworked as DD was. In addition, they are going to hire a couple of graphic designers. They already have one of the best in the country in Heather Williams. And, they'll hire another video person as so many of our sports are featured on ESPN-plus.

They will also hire another media relations person. Josh Brunner now has Patrick Crawford's title of assistant athletic director. Josh will essentially be replacing himself with the new position.

There's more around the corner...stay tuned

Thanks a lot J-Bird!

The graphics and video promo spots they put out are top shelf. The school has really raised its game the last 3 or 4 years.

It's something that is overlooked sometimes. In today's day and age where social media (especially Twitter and Instagram) have become hugely important, eye popping graphics and great video are a must.

We are one of the nation's best in that regard. Make no mistake about it.

We getting way off topic here but I’m inclined to agree with you for the most part. But there has to be a line for sexual exploitation of children, human trafficking, etc.

how do we have money to hire all these new positions and/or give upgraded titles (raises?) to previous positions, but we didnt have money for extra travel costs associated with conference moves (for which we werent a good fit)

Aren’t nfl and mlb jerseys also adorned with the nike swoosh logo? (as well as many in the p5)

Yup. But the NBA and their executives have bowed down to China. Especially the fading GOAT of this generation…the ultimate hypocrite.

The NFL has gotten like MLB for me. I follow players, not teams.

Do you live in Ruston or just went to school there?
