re: Bama Hurricane Sign

Maybe because not every student-athlete in LA is offended by everything they see or read. Maybe they love the fact that in America people are (or used to be) allowed to say whatever they want even if it is insensitive and offending. Maybe they understand that it was done by fanatics of LSU's rivals that were doing it for attention and without true malice.


People also have the right to point out that it was Alabama fans who produced a banner mocking a natural disaster that killed over a thousand people in South Louisiana.

So you want to defend their right to hang up such a banner, but not other people's right to say it's fricked up?

People are allowed to say what they want in America, but they (and the groups they represent) have to live with the consequences.

So, my response was from the point of view of a LA student-athlete based on the OP's question: "If you are a recruit from Louisiana (especially south Louisiana) how does this sign not forever enrage you?!" Yet you interpret it as I am defending a Bama fans' right to hang the sign and not people's right to criticize them?

This is typical of today's society where people feel the need comment just for the sake of commenting even though their point of view has nothing to do about the topic at hand. Nice reading comprehension skills.
