The Adelphi University mens lacrosse team uses a speech by President Donald Trump as its entrance music, according to a video that has been viewed more than 602,000 times.
The entrance shown in a 39-second video posted Wednesday morning on Barstool Sports Instagram feed, does not violate school policy, a school spokesman said.
The video shows the Adelphi players lined up about to enter the field. The player at the front of the line is carrying an American flag. It is not clear from the video at which game this video was taken.

Nothing wrong with using a President's speech, I guess. Kind of odd, but within their right, I guess. A song would be better and more uplifting, I would think.

It does looks like they would make excellent storm troopers though.

Anyone opening and then commenting on this thread would be both an obvious and rational conclusion.

(160,663 posts)at the beginning of a game is hideous, and a throwback to Germany prior to the Second World War.
From the article:
Mens lacrosse coach Gordon Purdie added in a statement that the team traditionally has chosen patriotic music to accompany their entrance to the field.
It was not intended to provoke or be taken as a political statement, he said. Were sorry if anyone was offended.

Adelphi is not, how shall I say this, the most selective school, but it is still sickening to see that.
I live on Long Island. There are pockets of progressivism, but not nearly enough. I think it's roots in suburban "white flight" mentality exacerbates that. Very anti Immigrant, even as immigrants serve us in our restaurants and mow our lawns.
Trying to figure out a good walkable affordable and progressive place to retire. I welcome suggestions, my friends!
