LSU athletics were recently at the center of a debate regarding the presence of student-athletes during the national anthem. This discussion was sparked by the LSU women's basketball team facing criticism for not being on the court for 'The Star-Spangled Banner' before their game against Iowa.
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry called for a policy that mandates student-athletes to be present for the national anthem. He emphasized the importance of respecting the anthem and the flag, urging college boards to implement such policies to uphold this tradition in collegiate sports.
