YG’s “Fuck Donald Trump” has become an anthem for a generation that simply doesn’t fuck with Donald Trump. Four Louisiana-Lafayette football players got in trouble last week when a cell phone video went viral of them singing along to the Compton rapper’s track, which features Nipsey Hussle.
USA Today’s The Advertiser reports that the Rajin’ Cajuns team took action to discipline the players after they made their thoughts about the president-elect clear by putting their middle fingers in the air while dancing around to the song in the locker room. The video was supposedly filmed shortly before Trump was officially declared the next commander in chief.
Head coach Mark Hudspeth apologized yesterday (November 11) to university officials, fans, and alumni for the actions of his players and athletic director Scott Farmer issued a statement to season ticket holders and boosters explaining the discipline the unidentified players would receive.
“We are disappointed in the actions of these student-athletes,” Farmer said. “Coach Hudspeth recognized the severity of the situation and does not condone their behavior. He acted swiftly to discipline those involved and continues to educate the team on how their actions are a reflection of the name on the front of their jerseys.”
When the team beat Georgia Southern Thursday night (November 10), Hudspeth addressed the media about the behavior of the players, some of whom played in the game. He explained that none of the players in the video voted in the election and the coach asked those throwing shade to look at the context of the situation.
“Obviously the hand gestures and the lewd language were very disappointing, especially toward one of the candidates. … But I will say this,” he said. “It’s also disappointing that so many people have vilified a few 19-year-olds making some immature decisions, and then they were the same ones that voted for someone that has done much worse by grabbing a female in the private areas for the office of the (President of the) United States of America.”
He explained that his program is one of the tighter run ships in the country and this one-time incident should not reflect the team culture.
“It’s hurtful that for the first time we make a mistake, in our own locker room – not downtown, not out in public; in our confines of our locker room – that we are labeled as thugs, or being vilified as not men of character,” he continued. “That is disappointing, tremendously.”
Some boosters and supporters became outraged at Hudspeth for seeming to defend the players’ actions and drawing comparisons to Trump’s own rhetoric. Some threatened to pull their donations from the school while others called for the coach to be fired.
Others supported the coach for standing up for the players.
Phuck YG and that Ni99a Nipsey Hustle!! Nipsey Hustle couldn’t sell a cd without Gay Z buying all them up.
These niggas play for free and make y’all money… Now y’all talking there freedom of speech
So “Grab them by the pussy” is considered locker room talk, but actually locker room talk is not? #doublestandards
Freedom of speech. But if course it won’t fly. Didn’t Trump win there? That’s Republican country right there. What did they expect? Plus the school was built by right wing white dudes. Do the knowledge.
Well, enjoy your little bullshit while it lasts. These idiots doing shit like this helped get Trump elected. I want to see them pulling this kind of shit after January 1st 2017. LOL. Riots, songs and shit. We lost an election. We should collectively man up as a country and get ready to take it in the winker…
Donald Trump is President. People need to deal with it and stop the fuckery. Riot in the street… For what? Pretty soon all these cry baby motherfuckers are gonna get met up with and then they’ll have something to whine about for real…
If this was an all white team, the university would defend them and say “We understand the players are expressing their freedom of speech, however we are disappointed with their actions in the video which has been shared on social media, the players have been spoken with and deeply regret their actions. We will have no further comment on this issue.” It would end there. But because they are black and white people resent black people and treat them as second class people, they will have no backers, supporters and will get dealt the blame thanks to racism. Only white people have freedom of speech and expression in America, and this comes from a white person who feels sick admitting it.
Ahhh… We are the only ones without freedom of speech… Where tf have you been??
OP is a pussy type white guy who marches along the blm activists, whole world laughs at them along with blm activists.
I’m black but fuck all tha racist black Americans who only know how fuck hoes,dick ride,smoke weed and talk shit in tha street,,,,, y’all mothafuckaz shud just shot tha fuck and accept defeat. Slave trade made you who you are today in America. The white should just send you mothafuckaz back to Africa and see how life is. Y’all suck a dick and go hell as long as you keep talk shit about TRUMP braarr #venni vidi vici

sao you have no real reason. You hate hate trump and still be friends with white people. how many people hated bush?
Hates trump but didn’t vote
You played yourself
WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!?!?!?!?!?!
I think it’s sad that our future commander and chief (chokes back vomit) gets a pass on “locker room banter” but now they’re gonna use it to crucify these students… I think the university and the athletic director as well as the coach should SHUT THE FUCK UP!
Obama got a pass on attending a vitriolic anti-white church. now all the hip hop people are suddenly becoming feminists “how dare he say these words!”
A vitriolic anti-white church. LOL That’s how you saw that? Word?
Those 4 young men are black in America. They can’t get into any hotter water than they’re already in
Of course they can. They could be in Sudan.
you all gonna respect and honor the new dictator Donald Trump
DOPE
If four white athletes were to say “Fuck Obama” what would we be saying about them? Think about it for a minute, you already know the answer.
Fuck donald trump
