Yesterday:

Senator Eric Schmitt
[March 6, 2026]

College sports are on the brink of collapse, and we need to find a solution.
Great to be at the White House today to discuss how we can fix college sports—from antitrust exemptions to revenue issues.
Thank you, President Trump, for your attention to this matter!
[….]

Some of the responses to Eric Schmitt (r):

You cannot be a serious person and believe this is what matters to the American people. 🖕🖕🖕

The quickest way to totally finish it off would be to get involved!

There’s that.

Now politics in sports is a good thing? The party of small government hard at work again 🙄

Meritocracy according to MAGA:
*Watching a football makes you an expert in college athletics
*Attending school as a child makes you an expert in education.
*Committing crime makes you an expert in criminology
*Selling drugs makes you an expert in Healthcare
🥴🥴🥴🥴

This, college sports is what politicians are worried about! 😡🤬

Clearly our highest priority

Sir, clearly you have misconstrued what Missourians need and want. Lives are being lost, our treasures are being drained to the tune of $3.7 Billion: Estimated Cost of Epic Fury’s First 100 Hours. Please don’t patronize Missouri voters with “thank you for your attention to this important matter.”

What a burning issue at this time. Can we pause the war to address this ?

How about we let them finance themselves and have colleges and universities fund students who want to learn.

Where’s your head, Eric? Oh we forgot. It’s where Trump sits. It’s clearly not on the WAR Trump started for Netanyahu. BILLIONS spent EVERY day on the war, but you sure didn’t mind CUTTING BENEFITS and doubling the cost of healthcare for Americans.

You have more important things to do right now.

There are a LOT more important things for you to be focused on right now!

War?

Our country is on the brink of collapse, but yeah…focus on this…

Stop the war. Do something meaningful

Yeah cause that’s our main priority right now. Fu

THIS is what you are worried about?!

More government intervention from the party that CLAIMS to be for small government and as little regulation as possible!

war in iran and this is what your talking about lol

The past is prologue.

Please can we have a serious senator? This is embarrassing

There are things that are much more important for you to be spending your time on!

What?

Jobs Evaporated Unexpectedly, a Troubling Sign for U.S. Economy
Employers shed 92,000 jobs in February.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Healthcare is on the brink of collapse and we need to find a solution

The only times I’ve cared about college sports were the 2 hockey games I went to over 10 years ago. Now let’s talk about Iran, the cost of living, and executive branch accountability.

Brink of collapse? What possible reason do you have to suggest this is the case and why do you think government is the solution?

Brink of collapse? What possible reason do you have to suggest this is the case and why do you think government is the solution?

Common decency is on the brink of collapse and we need to find a solution

We’re at war right now and this is what they’re worried about. Something is very wrong here.

People are dying from lack of medical care.

You are obviously one of the biggest sycophants, posting this right on cue after the orange felon says this is a worrisome problem. I hope your constituents vote you out at the next election!

The world is heading to economic collapse and your concerned about college sports? Get your head out of your ass!

Colleges are under attack academically and the idiots are worried about sports programs ffs

All the fucking problems we have in this country and you are worrying about college sports? Get the fuck out of here you worthless fuck. Perhaps worry about healthcare, gun control, ending homelessness, making sure families can eat.

Yes because the most pressing issue in our country right now is sports. You are an absolute disgrace and a moron.

Are you fucking serious? This country is now in what is quickly becoming a world war that you criminals started without the slightest notion of the consequences, and you’re taking about fucking sports? GOD DAMN YOU! My only hope is that I live long enough to see all of you traitors pay for your crimes against the American people!!!

What a waist of time dipshit. Stop the war. People are being killed for trump’s ego……

Yep that is what is the most important thing to beat your chest over!

We are at war in Iran. The economy lost jobs. And you are concerned about sports. Typically Republican trying to distract from the disaster.

Where the hell have you been

You are an idiot.

Hey Schmitthead, the entire middle class is on the brink of collapse!
Any plan for that?

They consider that a feature, not a bug.

How about you worry about our health care and rural hospitals that you voted to cut.what a loser
