No you don't. If Al Blue catches the winning swing pass in Tuscaloosa in November late in the 4th quarter, his views on homosexuality will be the last thing you think about.


Doesn't make it any less embarrasing/shameful.

This is true. I realize people can have whatever views they want. I am just disappointed he didn't realize that he shouldn't say that to the campus paper....or at the very least say it differently

That's the kind of quote that could get national attention. Hopefully it doesn't.

It doesn't take much for a quote like that to get out and have the media turn LSU into the gay hating university.

Sounds like Miles needs to step up and talk to his team about this.

Education is the key to tolerance.

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. There is still free speech in this country, whether you agree with Blue or not.

So, because 1 player said something dumb we should a broad generalization that the entire university he attends shares his views? Thats 100 X more ignorant than blue's comments.

That won't save us in the eye of the public opinion if this quote gets legs

Gee thanks for the update, Thomas Jefferson.

It's still a very dumb, mis-guided, ignorant and short-sighted thing to say from the position he is in.

Right. You gathered that from what I said. Brilliant.

ESPN or college football live could easily do a segment on gay athletes in college in rip us apart


Oh no! What shall we do!?

Seriously...the Shady's incident and Tyrann Mathieu were plastered all over TV screens when those stories broke, and I guarantee you the image of LSU has been tarnished far more by our last two bowl game performances than by what a running back said about gay players in April.

A 20 year old gave an honest, un-PC reply about a controversial subject. I care not.

exactly, some people only believe in free speech when it fits their own views or opinions.
I may not agree with his statement but, I support his right to say it..

Political correctness sucks.

Yeah man, you figured me out. I'm about as straight as a circle.

I don't see why he couldn't have just lied. I'm more bothered that he felt the need to say some stupid shite like that than anything.
