I think most people would agree that they don’t want college football to be political. Will LSU football be affected by their recent wokeness? They bring in a lot of cheddar that gets shared among all of the sports programs and the university.

I get that they want to be supportive of this so called movement, but it is a bit much. Almost like they are trying to make up for something.

I’m all for renaming Tiger Stadium to George Floyd Field! I mean, let’s do this if we are going to do it!

I wonder how much consultation they did/will do before taking further steps. I'm not entirely sure the various college administrations know that their consumers are *typically* more conservative and white than the normal population.

“Welcome sports fans, you are looking live as Nick Saban leads the Alabama BLM Tide onto the field at Alton Sterling Stadium here in Baton Rouge. And now the crowd goes wild as the LSU Black Panthers also take the field. Both teams are undefeated and ranked just below Grambling and Southern University in the Ebony Magazine reparations-based poll.”

I tend to think there are some programs who could survive anything (Bama, LSU, AU etc etc) but if I were them I wouldn’t be surprised to see even more empty seats.

We will see. They have spoken. If you support football or any other sport at LSU now you are officially a POS. They hate you because you are white. Maybe if you get on one knee and lick their feet and pray for forgiveness for your white privilige they will tolerate you now.

I’m against racism.

I’m against police brutality.

They are not correlated therefore this “movement” is a lie. It is disgraceful LSU has decided to cower to the mob and join the political hacks and Democratic Party.

I’ve traveled to all games for years and always supported LSU. I can’t support this. I’m very happy I was able to enjoy and be a part of the historic 2019 season. It was a great one to go out on.

LSU has the Ed O advantage. He is a non ideologue who should be smart enough to keep the message from the football complex as positive as possible. He’s not going to intentionally provoke a response. He just needs to get a handle on the social media end of it. He can handle the locker room.

I personally am done with football. Looking at rugby as my new favorite sport to follow.

I have been “woke” by LSU’s heartfelt message. I can therefore no longer in good conscious besmirch LSU’s reputation by asking them to take my tainted money earned as a result of my privilege. I’ve cancelled my TAF donation and will not renew my alumni membership. They should divest of all endowments that have not been thoroughly vetted!
