    Dickie must have deleted it. If the mods got rid of it, I'm guessing they would have deleted your post quoting it as well.

    Dickie's new trolling cause is the poin threads, arguing that they are inappropriate. I guess making a disgusting joke about Aly Raisman was his way of highlighting possible hypocrisy on the board. Perhaps it does that, but it was also an excuse for him to post a disgusting joke, kind of like the way he finds excuse to use the N-word.

    I tried to reason all that out, and now I have a headache.

    MSU spent $500K in January to monitor social media accounts of Nassar victims, others

    A public relations firm billed MSU for more than $500,000 for January as it tracked social media activity surrounding the Larry Nassar case, which often included the accounts of victims and their families, journalists, celebrities and politicians.

    The work, which also included collecting and evaluating news articles, had previously been done by members of Michigan State University's Office of Communication and Brand Strategy, some of whom continued to do so in January.

    The work by Weber Shandwick, a New York-based firm, totaled $517,343 for more than 1,440 hours of work, according to documents obtained through a public records request. The firm billed for work done by 18 different employees, whose hourly rates ranged from $200 to $600 per hour. Five of those employees billed MSU for more than $50,000, including one who billed for $96,900 and another who billed for $120,893.

    It's okay. Stick to fantasy baseball and cat fart jokes and you'll be much happier.

    "The suit does not address whether MSU basketball coach Tom Izzo was aware of the sexual assault allegation."

    MSU Board Meeting Erupts As Larry Nassar Victim
    Says School President Tried To Buy Her Off


    While speaking at a tense Michigan State University board meeting today, Kaylee Lorincz, who said she was sexually abused by former MSU doctor Larry Nassar, detailed a troubling interaction with interim president John Engler. According to Lorincz, Engler attempted to “coerce” her into settling a civil lawsuit against the school without her attorney present.

    Lorincz, 18, alleged Engler offered to cut her a check for $250,000 to drop the suit, even after she insisted that she was only interested in helping solve the problem. The crowd gasped as Lorincz spoke about how Engler tried to dismiss her claims and castigated her for simply trying to score money with the lawsuit.

    Engler was an asshole when he was governor and he hasn't changed.

    I’m a Penn Stater, so I realize I have little room to talk ... but is everyone in East Lansing tone deaf?

    To be fair, from the angle of the second vid it looks almost like the officer is protecting the speaker almost as in silent protest against the president.

    If he didn’t know, he’s incompetent. If he did know, he’s complicit.
