It'll be interesting to see if FL colleges stop getting 4 and 5 star recruits.
And if they do, how long after that before the Powers That Be lean on DeSantis to cool it.
With the NIL, I’m afraid it won’t matter. The FL schools will be able to pay athletes enough to go there. What will be interesting is if they stop getting women. Or athletes in secondary sports.

But that won't change anything.
They'll be happy to not get female athletes.
One less thing to worry about.
Yes but the federal government has Title IX, so they would care eventually.
Because if you steal all the copies of the newspaper, there is no way anybody will ever find out about the story. 
ETA: the story is horrible. A teen girl was raped repeatedly at the house of the local police chief while he and his wife were asleep upstairs. His stepson and friends are accused.
Crazy to think you could suppress the story by stealing all the newspapers.

Couldn't pay me to go to Florida (or Texas) these days (except for a layover).

A venture fund and a real estate startup – both with links to far-right organizations – are promoting a residential development in rural Kentucky as a haven for fellow rightwingers.
The promoters have presented the planned development as an “aligned community” for rightwingers who want to “disappear from the cultural insanity of the broader country” and “spearhead the revival of the region”.
The move is the latest effort by the far-right to establish geographical enclaves, following in the footsteps of movements like the so-called “American Redoubt”, which encourages rightwingers to engage in “political migration” to areas in the interior of the Pacific north-west.
But the underlying finances of land offerings associated with the “Highland Rim Project” (HRP) in Kentucky suggest that buyers will pay a steep premium for living in a remote ideological enclave, while the scheme’s promoters are set to collect tidy profits after making few apparent improvements to the land.……

This guy is living in the wrong country. The US has never been about the “same stock” of people, and has contained all different races and religions from before we were even a nation. He needs to go somewhere else, because he doesn’t believe in America.

Continuing his attack on MLK and the Civil Rights Act, Charlie Kirk invited one of his Turning Point USA employees onto his show, Blexit director Pierre Wilson. Blexit is Turning Point USA's Black outreach program.
Kirk argued that Ben Carson is a better role model for Black America and argued that Carson is more worthy of a federal holiday than the civil rights leader. Kirk told Wilson, who endorsed his boss's attack on MLK, that "Ben Carson is a way better role model for Black America that MLK."
After that comment, Kirk went to a break and came back. In that brief amount of time, Kirk's mind reasoned that Carson was more worthy of a federal holiday that MLK. Kirk said he thinks "that Dr. Ben Carson is far more impressive and successful individual to honor with a national, federal holiday than MLK." Kirk said he would stand by that.
Kirk, who called MLK a "bad guy," is using Carson's name to continue his attack the civil right leader. Carson has attended many Turning Point USA events and served as the Housing and Urban Development secretary in Trump's cabinet............

Could have gone on the racist thread too
Goes without saying that they all feel that any minority, female, gay or trans hire is woefully unqualified for every position
People couldn't even comprehend that Ketanji Brown was remotely qualified to be a Supreme Court Justice, acting like she was some welfare queen who watched a lot of Law & Order (instead of working)
======================================================================
Nervous fliers are nothing new, and the fear of air travel is as common as they come. But a cohort of right-wingers have convinced themselves that planes are more dangerous than ever because of airlines' diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which they baselessly argue have put unqualified flight crews in the cockpit. Lately, some have even expressed racist doubts in the abilities of Black pilots or pledged not to fly on commercial carriers that support for the LGBTQ community.
Although DEI has become a favorite boogeyman for conservatives of late - supplanting a moral panic over the supposed inclusion of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in grade-school curricula - the focus on planes is the result of actual safety concerns about Boeing's 737 Max 9 model. One such aircraft, operated by Alaska Airlines, had a panel of its fuselage blow out mid-flight on Jan. 5, causing rapid depressurization and necessitating an emergency landing. Early analysis of the accident has indicated a possible bolt failure, and Boeing is now under scrutiny for possible manufacturing errors. The FAA has meanwhile grounded other Max 9s in service.
Rather than hold Boeing to account, however, some culture warriors have opted to build a narrative around the airlines, accusing Alaska and others of creating unsafe flying conditions with initiatives to employ more women, people of color, and LGBTQ individuals. They falsely claim such diversity goals are now the only criteria in the hiring process, over and above the ability to "effectively fly an airplane," as Michael Seifert, CEO of an "pro-America" online shopping website, put it earlier this month.
There's zero proof that recruiting pilots who aren't white men (still the overwhelming majority of the profession) puts airline passengers at risk. The companies also aren't hiring pilots who lack proper training or credentials. The last fatal commercial airline crash in the U.S. was almost 15 years ago, and a 2020 study by an MIT professor found that commercial travel is safer than ever - 10 times safer than it was four decades prior. And, again, industry experts suspect the Alaska Airlines incident will trace back to Boeing, whose troubles with this generation of 737s date back to two crashes abroad in 2018 and 2019 that killed hundreds, costing the company billions in fines and legal fees as they redesigned a faulty maneuvering system.
Yet the anti-DEI crowd has used this latest frightening episode (which the flight crew handled expertly) to air grievances over what they view as affirmative action for the workplace, painting bogus scenarios of how "woke" corporate branding could potentially bring down a plane with you and your family aboard. Initially, far-right influencers trained their attack on Alaska Airlines: Chaya Raichik, who runs the anti-LGBTQ hate account "Libs of TikTok" on X/Twitter, on Jan. 11 shared clips from the company's Pride promotions and complained that they were "making their planes gay" and "having drag queen flight attendants" rather than ensuring customer safety. "If you're on an Alaska plane, just pray their diversity hires don't screw up," she added..............

Conservatives Are So Scared of Diversity They're Starting to Boycott 'Woke' Airlines
Right-wingers have convinced themselves that planes are unsafe because of diversity initiatives — and some have sworn off flying altogether
