Maybe because not every student-athlete in LA is offended by everything they see or read.

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.

First of all. This is a message board.

You made a comment, I responded to it. That's how it works.

My reading comprehension is fine. However, your ability to convey your thoughts using the English language is clearly lacking.

Pretending that you are speaking for some hypothetical Louisiana student-athlete doesn't change a thing. Those are your thoughts and your lazy social commentary.

You blamed society for becoming too sensitive and acted as an apologist for those who created the banner. My exegesis is based on what you wrote:

Apparently, what you wrote is not what you intended to write. On the other hand, I stand by everything I said in response to your inane drivel.
