What ever happened to “the show must go on” in this country?

Deliberately being purged of masculinity (not that football is a sine qua non sacrament thereof—it’s not).

We have become a nation of emotion driven, virtue signaling wimps.

First time I saw the headline, I saw the "Northwestern" and not the "State" part. So I tried to remember back to the local news from Chicago talking about any specific violent death involving an NU player, because there are so many violent deaths in the Chicago area that it has to be extra special to get individual attention.

Just think; if all colleges dropped football, the NFL would have to start its own minor league system. And colleges would have to focus on education. A major shock to the system.

I can agree with that.

One need not look far to see how awful many players are now as another example.

I found about 6 others fast….

For sure. There is an element in all this that has no place on a college campus...education is not their priority

Where I worked, a student with a great scholarship was caught selling loco weed, and kicked out. He lost his scholarship and messed up his life because ‘school’ was not his priority

Northwestern State University of Louisiana is a public university primarily situated in Natchitoches, Louisiana.

Never heard of this school. It’s far away from “Chocolate City” so doubt that drug lords are involved, but you never know.

Fox reportage is a joke. No mention of location. Oh, county name is somewhat of a hint.

It’s a pretty sleepy little southern town.

“While our instinct was to return to the field of play following his death, we’ve since learned that the hurt on our team was too deep.”

Snowflakes. They should have bucked up and dedicated the next game to the dead guy. Abandoning the season and hiding in the corner to cry is not the way to handle it.

I wouldn’t hire Brad Laird if he gave up on his team when they needed him the most.

“Was the coach somehow promoting violence?”

The coach is white while the school president is black, the player that got shot is black, the guy who shot him is black...

Obviously the coach is guilty of being white.

Southwestern La. became La.-Lafayette
Northeastern La. became La/=Monroe -
Southeastern La. did suspend football for a few years — my understanding is that the decision was not entirely theirs.

Northwestern St. of La. - I agree - they’ll have a tough time rebuilding the program.
