I have a real issue with Sankey's statement

[R2Dawg]

He has defamed MSU.

He said " Our students deserve an opportunity to learn and compete in environments that are inclusive and welcoming to all" What an insult.

First he has no students, MSU does as do other institutions of higher learning. SEC is a sports league, that is it.

Second, MSU is inclusive and welcoming to all. All kinds of different people, beliefs, etc are at MSU and welcomed. The flag that is not MSU has nothing to do with how well MSU rolls out the welcome to anyone who joins Bulldog nation.

I'm calling on Sankey to issue a restatement if he is a man!!

Goodness, some of you look dumber everyday.

Sankey & Cohen got a heads up that the NCAA was going to issue their ruling today & decided to get ahead of it.

Gun all you got is a mob mentality. You got no substance so you always reduce to insults. I could easily go there with you as you deserve it but I will not. Back to the issue.

My post is irrelevant that NCAA went first. Sankey is supposed to represent and pull for all members of SEC. He threw MSU and Olemiss under the bus for political gain. Cohen even at least said it wasn't fair to punish students for something they can't control. Sankey should have been making that argument to NCAA. Instead he sacrificed us again for his own gain. You think he does that to Alabama and Auburn? Think not.

They are abusing their power. MSU and Olemiss can't even get anything done due to schedule of timing for doing legal moves before this season. If they wanted to be fair they would give state till next year to get it done. But we don't live in a law and order country anymore. Guilty until proven innocent. Do what I saw or we'l punish you without a trial.

IMHO, legal action could be taken against SEC and NCAA for discrimination. Again what does MSU and Olemiss have any control over this. What they control they have done which is not have flag on campus.

I'm sure he will listen as well as the Governor and Lt. Governor do.

Everyone seems to forget we hired the first ever African American head football coach.

First ever?

First ever?

not ever. first in SEC

[DownwardDawg]

Yeah, I accidentally left that part out. I thought it was obvious what I meant though. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

What sec schools have the highest percentage of black students? Genuinely interested bc I figure we're up there near the top.

I think we are at the top

What I don't understand is why so many Mississippians want to look backwards more than they want to look forwards.

Don't we all want Mississippi to prosper, grown in population, & to see the local economy grow? Don't we all want to see that?

So then, tell me, what side of history here do you think helps us get there?

What side of history here helps Mississippi move on & become a great state?

What side of history here helps young black kids grow up with more state pride & want to stay in-state to play college football? (I realize this is low hanging fruit, but that's the point. Changing the flag will positively touch everything in the state)

What side of history here helps Mississippi's two SEC universities have a greater national influence in all things?

I empathize with those in which the Civil War is part of their family's heritage & I also realize that we don't need to make a habit of giving into leftist pressure, but this isn't leftist pressure. This is about doing the right thing.

It's real simple. All you have to do is ask yourself a very simple question:

What is best for the future of Mississippi?

Then this statement is garbage...

" Our students deserve an opportunity to learn and compete in environments that are inclusive and welcoming to all"

...

FWIW, we absolutely should change our flag, but sankey should at least check things like % of black students before painting our state as not welcoming to black students

I wouldn't get bogged down on that.

Sankey knew the NCAA ruling was coming today & simply got out in front of it. Whether or not that statement is poor or not, doesn't change what's right & wrong in this situation

You have no idea what is right and wrong in this situation which is the problem going on everywhere. We ain't talking about the flag either. I've said everytime, get rid of it. Most people don't even know what it looks like. I live in another state for 24 years, I have no idea what our state flag looks like. Who cares.

That was my point on original post. He slandered our school like we are not inclusive which is a bold face lie. Today perception is all there is and he just kicked us where it hurts on another lie.

I can guarantee you Sankey knows we have the highest % of black students in the FBS. Remember he has the personal connection to MSU through his daughter, and even if he didn't, that's a pretty basic piece of knowledge for someone in his job.

I could give 2 ****s about any flag EXCEPT the USA flag. No piece of fabric flying above a building ever prevented me from an education, a job, getting married, having kids, etc. People that whine and cry about shit like this are ****ing pussies....plain and simple. Most likely the ?timeout? crowd bc their parents were too soft mentally to whip that ass!

They want the US Flag to go also....

[TrapGame]

I see your point.

Sankey worded that badly.
