I would rather have him than JBE but this is what happens when your Governor made his past career in focusing entirely on superficial red meat issues. He thinks people actually care enough about this for him to make a dumb statement about it.

LSU football isn’t on the field while the band plays the national anthem and no one cares because that’s how it’s always been.

EXACTLY!

This is completely on-brand for Landry. He's a moron. He's better than JBE for sure. But still a moron. That's why his tenure will be highlighted by a bunch of red-meat social issue "wins"...but little in the way of actually improving Louisiana's economy/business climate.

Would you like to see the players have enough respect for the ONE country that allows them the opportunity to gain such exposure and financial benefit for simply playing basketball? Sure. But if they choose to remain in the locker room during the playing of the national anthem, so be it. They aren't at a Memorial Day celebration. It has (or should have) little impact on the actual event. Certainly not enough to have the bozo Governor unnecessarily interject himself.
