I guess other schools are doing likewise?

[BeardoMSU]

Well, many if not most colleges are doing the same, plus MSU having one of the largest percentages (the most maybe?) of black students in the SEC just might play a factor too. Right or wrong, people care about this issue.

This thread will end well.

Do you have a beacon that alerts you to anything political thread? I imagine you fly in singing the Mighty Mouse theme song.

Lol, no. I just happened to be up working/watching the baseball game/posting on the board. I'm sorry my answer to your question ruffled your feathers.

At least the statement wasnt a complete fail like the raiders tweet.

Or Nancy's "thanks for dying" statement. I mean, Holy. Shit...people just need to say "Thank you to the American justice system" and call it day.

That was brutal...talk about needing PR help. Of course it won?t hurt her with her constituents

No feathers ruffled lol just an observation over numerous political threads and input. There's several posters who can be lumped into other topics so don't feel special.

so don't feel special.

Hey, my kids think I'm special!**

Did Xancy really say that? Just when I think he cant possibly get any dumber

Wrong Nancy, try Pelosi

Seems like a good statement to me. A man was murdered for using counterfeit money. It was not warranted. The murder was not without negligence.

Mississippi state university did the right thing by making a statement. The university is a learning institution not a sports complex complex. There's a difference between this fantasy board of sports and real life issues occurring in the world.

An ex-NFL player murdered 6 people recently. It’s also a real life issue. Can you link MSU’s statement on the murder? I can’t find it but I’m confident it’s out there. Thanks in advance.

Do you really want to get into "stories"? I can go there with you and could easily up you EVERY time.

No, they didn't, just from PR perspective. It's not MSU's job to jump in on every controversy they're not a part of. Has Keenum made a statement about the forced labor and potential genocide of Uighurs? I can't find it, which makes me think Keenum doesn't care about mistreatment of them because they are Muslim? Mississippi State has as much to do with Uighurs in China as George Floyd in Minnesota. We have a lot of Asian students at Mississippi State. Has Keenum made a statement about them being discriminated against in college admissions? That's at least relevant to MSU (although MSU likely doesn't have much influence over admission standards at top flight universities). Does Keenum support discrimination against Asians? Seems like he must. Unless we just have shitty, shitty, PR advisors.

Like the kind that would advise you to reignite a non-controversy by issuing a statement after it has already died down.

[confucius say]

It's not a difficult issue. He committed a crime, was charged, and convicted. The system worked. It works every day in thousands of cases.
The issue I have with keenum is his virtue signaling, i.e., labeling it a "difficult issue" and making the whole story about racism. Chauvin may be a racist. I have no idea. Neither does keenum. Neither do any of you. We don't know if it was a race issue or not. But we all know it was a crime and a criminal issue.
