Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry called for revoking the athletic scholarships of student-athletes in the Bayou State who are absent during the national anthem.

“It is time that all college boards, including Regent, put a policy in place that student athletes be present for the national anthem or risk their athletic scholarship! This is a matter of respect that all collegiate coaches should instill,” he posted on X, formerly Twitter, on April 2.
