Former Arizona State standout quarterback Sam Leavitt, now the starter for Lane Kiffin at LSU, has a great deal demanding his attention.
His dad's apparent hate for Muslims has to be an unwanted addition.
We ran across this reply to a post over the weekend, and a history of replies shows it's not anything new.
Jared Leavitt posted, "Yep, the takeover is here," beneath this post:

The elder Leavitt's reply — and his history of similar replies — pretty clearly shows his opinion, and understanding the backlash that stance can unleash, there has to be concern among LSU football nation.
What happened to civilized discourse? Oh, yeah. Horse leaving the
barn. Got it.
That said, father should know best, and this is just not something Sam needs, especially in light of his LSU Tigers coming up short at Mississippi on Saturday night.
Perhaps an apology, or a clarification about specific beliefs, will be coming? If only to make Sam's path a little less rocky.
