    I have a real issue with Sankey's statement

    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.

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

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

    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?

    ...

    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

    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!

    Sankey worded that badly.

    This whole social protest has got to the point of ridiculousness. It has given many looters and thugs the opportunity to do badness under the face of racism. The world as we have know it has gone mad and I believe we have reached the point of no return!

    I'm afraid you're right.
