"My mother coached women’s high school basketball during the height of desegregation, no one has a greater respect for the sport and for Coach Mulkey. However, above respect for that game is a deeper respect for those that serve to protect us and unite us under one flag ! It is time that all college boards, including Regent, put a policy in place that student athletes be present for the national anthem or risk their athletic scholarship! This is a matter of respect that all collegiate coaches should instill."
Gov. Landry

“Our basketball programs have not been on the court for the anthem for the last several seasons,” LSU athletics spokesperson Cody Worsham said in a statement. “Usually the anthem is played 12 minutes before the game when the team is in the locker room doing final preparations.”

The flag is not a deity we as citizens have to bow down to or show fealty towards. Ideally it’s a symbol of citizenship that should be shown respect, but it’s also our right to burn it and everything in between.

We do not worship the flag, nor those who they try to gaslight us into believing they murder foreigners solely for our benefit. Politicians in the south especially think this is some Christo-ethnic/military state
