The virtue signaling from Mulkey here is unreal.

You can absolutely take a stand against associating with and legitimizing a nation that unjustly starts a genocidal war against its neighbor ( Link 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

Especially if it’s someone as controversial as a Russian pro player.

This isn’t about just accepting a better player who really wants to come to LSU, or upgrading at a position of proven deficiency.

This is another shameless mortgaging of the once-proud LSU brand, this time to pay a mercenary that you know will drive off a player with whom you already contracted, for the hope of short-term success. All because you lack any ethics to do things the right way

The quote insinuating the two players can work to end the war through ambassadorship is incredible. These people don't live on the same planet as the rest of us

I'll have to admit as an LSU fan, the trio of Kiffin, Wade, and Mulkey is amazing

Exactly. Like anyone thought WWII would end because LSU put a German on the swim team.

The war in Ukraine is a 20 yr old girl’s fault?

This is absolutely the level of intellect I figured LSU fans would have, seeing all this incredible shite occur and only having then say in response, “Kiffin u mad!!1!1!1!”

The Olympics and World Cup banned Russian athletes because of the war.

Are they to blame?

She's 17 I think? I get where both parties are coming from. Mulkey has an innocent girl that's a good player and she needs to recruit for her team to be successful. The Ukrainian girl has a dad in the Ukrainian army.

I had hoped this would be one of those things where they become friends and it's a feel good story. I guess not.

I don't think anyone is a villain here, though.

You have to be on the spectrum to believe this was even a possibility. This up there with Hugh Freeze faking his funeral as far as stupid coach thoughts goes.
