"Headphone use by players"- one fan's opinion......

A guy was just on Jordy Hultberg's radio show and brought up what I think is a pretty good observation.
He was at the UNC game "pep rally" last week in Atlanta. Coach Miles led the team out to the roar of fans- and a good portion of the players were wearing headphones.
Headphones.
I know. They are young people. Lots of other schools let their athletes do the same thing.
But people.....I think the guy was right. He's of the opinion that the players gave him the attitude they could give a shite less about being there- and only wanted to listen to their f-ing music.
We are NOT other schools. We are better than that.
For the time being, THIS IS THEIR JOB. They represent LSU- it is their "firm", and the fans are the "shareholders". If an employee went into a business meeting wearing a f-ing set of headphones listening to the latest rap tunes, he'd probably get his arse fired sooner rather than later. It shows a blatant lack of seriousness, dicipline, and respect- just my opinion.
The shareholders deserve better. Just as we would have them wear proper attire, we should have them lay down the MP3 players for 15 minutes while meeting the fans. This is not the NFL.
Is that asking too much?
Rant over.

Completely disagree. Unless you've played at that level, you have no idea what type of mindset it takes. I would imagine most of the guys are nervous.
People will bitch about anything. If the players came out and were jumping in the crowd giving high fives and autographs people would complain their heads aren't in the game.

Have you ever watched the players walk down the hill? It's the exact same thing with more tiger fans. And guess what, they're serious as all hell and (gasp) wearing head phones. They get into their mindset for the game and I have no problem with it. I like seeing them in their own zone

I was driving to work and heard this guy on the radio... I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
Maybe he was bitter because he finally came to the realization that the players really don't give a shite about him... and why should they? They are 18-22 year old kids - believe it or not, they are in school - this isn't their job. LSU football would be a lot more enjoyable for some people if they stopped acting like the players and coaches owe them shite.

i cant believe you started a post about this are you freaking serious this has absolutely nothing to do with the players attitude they are just getting pumped for the game. i'm in disbelieve over some the posts that have been on here lately.

I heard that guy. Jordy and Doug said they were going to bring it up to whoever is in charge of that bullshite.
Here's my opinion: Just. Freaking. Win. Wear whatever you want as long as it gets you in the game.
These are kids, man. I don't know why you expect them to be anything else. They aren't thinking about the glory of the purple and gold, Billy Cannon's run, the earthquake game, etc. They probably don't even know about any of it, or care. They're 18-22 year old kids here to just play football.
If someone tells them to take their earbuds out and step and fetch, it's probably just going to piss them off. Would you rather that?

Wow I just saw this
The problem with this statement is that shareholders usually have a say in the way the company is ran. Fans do not have any such say.

I think I've heard it all now. What more could we POSSIBLY find to bitch about. Headphones? MOTHER frickING HEADPHONES???? Surely you can't be serious. There's just no way your life could be that miserable that you have to bitch about our players wearing headphones. Jesus tap dancing Christ! 
fwiw, our players wore headphones all the time when Jesus Saban was here.

I have grown weary of this tired analogy.

As a season ticket holder and booster (I guess that makes me a share holder) do not mind at all, everyone relaxes in a different way.,
I appreciate your opinion, but I think it is fine.
Thank the family of a Veteran
