Members of the LSU football team marched on campus Friday, in the latest demonstration by athletes in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.

Players marched from Tiger Stadium through campus and toward the office of LSU interim president Tom Galligan. The group included senior safety JaCoby Stevens, quarterback Myles Brennan, receiver Ja’Marr Chase and many more.

"It's time to stand up," linebacker Soni Fonua said in a video posted live on Instagram, as he walked with teammates.

This event, in my opinion, ends the relationship LSU football has with the majority of it's fan base. Liberals have destroyed another much loved part of America. College football.

Football players at Baylor in Waco Texas are pulling the same crap. It's spreading around.

I was afraid this would happen. When college football games start, I expect to see a lot of this garbage. That will just about destroy all my interest in sports. Sad. I was a big time baseball and college football fan.

Nazi’s got to march. It’s just something they do.

We have seen 2 of the biggest farces in American history this year...both with the goal of destroying the country.

Nothing else.

Cool.

Let’s start with the football team.

Does this mean that no one on the LSU team has a record, nor will they get one during their football career at LSU?

[allblues]

How many honkies are on the team?

[workerbee]

Time to stand up? I thought it was time to kneel down.

I’m so confused.

[MrChips]

Sigh. Enough!

The black community needs to look within first.

Rap "music" glorifying killing police, calling them pigs....demeaning women in calling them "bitches and hos", the physical assaults against women, baby mommas, etc, etc, etc.

Those problems plague the black community far more than any interactions with the police.

Some simple rules to avoid problems with the police need to be ingrained in the minds of young black men.

Don't break the law.

IF you are stopped by the police, don't act like an idiot.

Comply with their requests.

Don't resist arrest.

You do those simple things and there's a 99% chance you live another day.

Here we go.

I think that maybe we should judge student athletes based on their scholastic achievements, and, secondarily, what they can contribute athletically.

That would be funny.

[tflabo]

What does ‘stand up for racial justice’ mean? What an empty spectacle from empty minds. Loot, riot cause mayhem and defund the police. Claims of ‘racism’ such a false canard and scam perpetuated by hacks and arrogant morons.

"It's time to stand up," linebacker Soni Fonua said in a video posted live on Instagram, as he walked with teammates.

I agree. During the national anthem.

They are marching for the guy who was beating his girlfriend and then resisted arrest.

[technically right]

Time to end athletic scholarships. Students first, athlete after class. I’m waiting for the first major conference to do this. I know, I know.

"Here we go."

Alabama march scheduled for Monday...

[Patriot777]

Bye, LSU—dont let the door hit ya where the gator should’ve bit ya!!!

Stupidity knows no bounds, but being PAID to do and say outlandish, asinine things is another thing. Might as well be holding signs saying “bought by the DNC”.

[windsorknot]

It's time to stand up,

It’s time to go to class and maybe take some challenging courses.
