re: LSU makes cover of this article, people who are criticized for loving football

We love LSU Football, we love that it unites people, family members and friends that are separated on other issues.

We love that LSU football heals people's hearts, even if just momentarily providing comfort, that have suffered in some manner, a loss of a family member, a loss of a job or a home.

We love that football in general, can help improve divisions in our families and in society when sometimes it appears little else can.

Most LSU fans would never bring up our personal or political views during a LSU football game or Saints game, for we would never want to destroy the opportunity others who are suffering may have, to find some measure of comfort during a football game.

If any NFL players want to bring up issues they feel needs to be addressed, why not do it during a free signing ceremony of a football or basketball before or after a game, and let it be known before hand what your intentions are.

Most of us who are LSU fans would never attend a white nationalist conference nor a statue removal protest or support of one. Though many want to remember our history, we would never worship nor destroy a part of such history.

Most LSU fans would never want to destroy American history just as we would never want to destroy Roman statues, a part of European history. But we don't see those destroying our history, demanding that Europeans destroy their history and their statues.

Appears to be a major double standard in the views of those who aren't demanding similar destruction of history abroad, maybe it's that some are just wanting to further divide us for political gain.

Everyone has the freedom to do what they want, most LSU fans choose to provide comfort and unity in our communities however possible. And LSU football is one of those ways!
