“That left LSU spokesman Ernie Ballard III to explain Thursday that the mascot was much more associated with the live Mike the Tiger, than with its origins in the Confederacy. He pointed out that LSU’s focus on the tiger mascot is raising awareness of the plight of tigers in the wild.

“LSU is not planning to change the tiger mascot,” Ballard said.

And The Advocate wonders why no one subscribes to it.

have you seen LSU lately? Don’t be surprised if they bend over backwards and apologize for the name if someone starts to question it

I think you people are confused. LSU officially supports BLM.

"Tigers" is a relic of the Confederacy. Especially "Fighting Tigers", illustrating that violence was done in order to perpetuate white supremacy.

LSU will be dead to me if they change the name.

And Tigers are more famous for LSU’s mascot than anything else in Louisiana.

ETA: time to eliminate my Advocate subscription.

That one was a no-brainer.
Not even comparable.
