Did you actually just freaking ask this??

Probably because the reasons why for some of those behaviors matter.

You just can't stop can you??? I don't think I am the one who appears to need coping skills... Keep on keeping on labeling people based on a message board,,,clown

Yeah...I probably shouldn't have lumped you in for the whole response...my bad. I guess it is perspective as I didn't get any feeling that people were "mad" or "upset" about what was happening but rather disagreeing with what did happen and for the potential reasons why. I disagree with a lot of things but it doesn't mean those things upset me in anyway. And there was discussion about what a coach could do...probably prompted my question to vak and someone else about what a coach could do or rules they could implement...for discussion purposes is all. Anyway, you think the playing of the anthem before every sporting event is weird. Fine...it's your opinion. I don't take it as you are upset or mad. Anyway, I love the anthem as it brings me back to my younger days and it giving me the goosebumps before competing, as well as the honoring of the people who sacrificed and gave their life for us to have the freedom to be who we are as a country and to play sports. That will never be weird to me. But...it's my opinion.

Dude...you are a clown...keep believing the crap you type...good luck

You sound like an extremely upset abuser @jross

Based on eye test Brooks clearly has jumped levels...again...I have a feeling that it will translate over to freestyle and it will be close with Taylor...would not be surprised if it goes to the third match. Brain tells me that it will be Taylor this year and then Brooks takes over.

What the?!?! Ok...you seriously have gone off the deep end! You and @uncle bernard are clearly looking for the boogyman in something on here...Paul does not seem upset at all...it is called A DISCUSSION. And show me where one person on here has said they are 'SO UPSET" about LSU, or any other team that they want all scholarships taken away and for all support to be pulled?? What is wrong with someone saying IF they did it as a form of protest then they disagree with it but agree with their freedom to do so? Or even if they did it other than it's their "routine" and you don't like it? How is that expressing so much anger that you get called an "abuser". You two must be absolutely wonderful conversationalists in real life. How could anyone discuss anything with you two without you two thinking they are racist/bigots/against everything and everyone/abusers/etc.??? You two need to get out of the classrooms and your text books and get in the real world.

Ugh...please don't post again

Very funny....and very true!

How do you know it is a male who typed that crap??

Aren't you against lowering taxes so shouldn't you be criticizing Biden??

Yeah...I know. I am all for freedom. My questions again weren't nefarious in anyway but trying to understand how, if possible, someone could restrict scholarships. And never once did I make an opinion that anyone SHOULD restrict scholarships for this.

What?? Who said I don't like the basketball team or their members?? I don't even know them. Once again trying to read into things to find a boogeyman and label me with some sort of 'ism. If you read ALL my post dumb dumb you would have seen I really don't care that they weren't out there for the national anthem. I personally like it when players stay and stand, but again, couldn't care less if others don't. How many more times do I need to type it before you get it babble boy?? And by the way my "guess" is based on experience at large national wrestling tournaments and talking with college coaches....so yeah...call that a "guess" I...guess?!?

Got it..thanks. But a coach could make a rule that his/her/their players stand/pay tribute when the anthem is playing and this is not covered under free speech?

This is just not true. The wrestlers, where they are located when the anthem starts, stop and pay tribute. Do the basketball players stop what they are doing in the locker room and pay tribute...my guess is no. Does this bother me, not really...just think it is stupid is all, but who cares?!

Even if it was a requirement to receive a scholarship, and/or required to receive state funding?

Because of the venue and the type of event is my guess. They ask the wrestlers to leave the mat and the timing of the anthem isn't conducive to having all the teams and their wrestlers out there. My guess is the wrestlers, unless up right away, stop what they are doing and respect the anthem. And that was my experience when I use to help coach our national team at Fargo.

I couldn't care less if they are R v D, you made a statement, and I asked you to prove your statement that those policies, or made-up policies, made someone poor, kept someone poor, or limited them from bettering themselves....as usual, you can't! babble babble babble.......

Anyone interpret that for me ^^^^^

I find it extremely weird that a pregame routine wouldn't include being on the court/field/mat for the national anthem. As for teams that aren't on the court for the national anthem, whatever I guess...I wouldn't have noticed seeing as I don't pay that much attention to womans basketball...well basketball in general I guess. Again I just find it weird that a coach would have a pregame routine that doesn't include being part of the national anthem. As for the governor, sounds like he is a strong believer that athletes who receive state funding should be on the court and standing for the national anthem. Guess that is on Louisianans, anas, in...or whatever they are called, to decide. I do like the way they talk and their food though...

Agreed! One of the worst things that can happen to a child! Feel so bad for Nex...so sad. But like you extremely angry about what led up to her death.

I am going to use your schtick for "discussion", please tell us how the policies you listed, again some are just made up, limit upward mobility and opportunities and/or punish people for being poor??

Coocoo Coocoo

Wow do you like to babble and never address anything other than semantics...you are attacking the idea that CEO's have risk versus the overall topic that was being discussed....so again, why do you hate big corporations and their CEO's and executives?? Why do you think they hoard their money? What do you have against big profits and a successful company that employs thousands and thousands of people?? Do you not want people to have jobs? Do you want everyone to be paid exactly the same no matter what they contribute? Maybe there could be a back and forth and exchange of ideas and opinions if you just for once actually address the topic at hand versus the semantics/psycho babble you spew and blame others for doing the very thing you do.
