Story on Saturdaydownsouth.comThis from the GoFundMe page:
quote:

Do #FreeDevinWhite billboards seem ignorant and misguided to you?

If so, this is the place for you! Donate your money more intelligently, strategically, and sympathetically.

While LSU fans waste their money on meaningless billboards based on a conspiracy theory between The University Of Alabama and the Southeastern Conference offices in Birmingham, we are starting this campaign to raise money for hurricane relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Michael, which devastated parts of the Eastern United States in early October.

This hurricane has not received anywhere near the amount of media coverage it should’ve and these people still need help! It caused damage in excess of $8.1 billion.

Stop giving money to meaningless conspiracy theories and give it to people who need your help!

If we raise more than $2,000 we will even rent a billboard in Baton Rouge encouraging donations to these relief efforts (with a Roll Tide on it if course). If we do not reach at least $2,000 by Friday, November 2nd, any and all proceeds will be donated directly to the American Red Cross.

(The campaign we will be donating to is "Hurricane Michael: Disaster Relief and Donations" by American Red Cross)

Have a blessed day and Roll Tide!

Edit: included entire text from their page.

Our Cajun Navy groups have been there since the beginning. They’re late.

Preach. We don't just send money to help, we send people.

What does one have to do with the other? So they’re raising money for Hurricane relief. What does that have to do with billboards OR football period? Bama fans really are stupid.

The LSU billboards are directed to the SEC office. If Bama is offended, that confirms collusion.
PS-F Bama.

Straw man to take the attention off of this injustice. Otherwise they could’ve done this 2 weeks ago.

The logic for this one confuses me...

Let’s give gofundme a % of our contributions instead of donating to the Red Cross so we can make a statement about LSU fans wasting money...

I’d rather give my money to a drug lord than the American Red Cross.

Fans in Tuscaloosa who automatically think these billboards are aimed at them are clueless. Plus it sorta hints the SEC office and Tuscaloosa are connected.

They also must not realize Lamar is a BR company. Getting those boards up in Birmingham was easier than they will have getting boards in BR!
