With Jazzfest now cancelled this Fall, John Bel Edwards has some precedent to achieve what he wants most: limiting capacity and tailgating at LSU games this Fall. He literally cannot wait to do it. He has threatened to do so multiple times over the past 6 months and now he finally has his window. At the very very least, every fan will be required to wear a mask. I am absolutely terrified.

Edit: This is a very relevant precedent and one we should be worried about. Both outdoor venues with thousands of people. And we know JBE has threatened to do this on multiple occasions. It literally does not matter how hypocritical and anti-science the decision is. Democrats governors/mayors are more than happy to shut things down on a whim.

It's what you get for voting for shite hole morons like John Bel Cock Sucker as governor.

You think I voted for that libtard? Hopefully that was a collective “you”. But yes, this is what we get. People have to stop kidding themselves. This delta “surge” gives JBE all the ammo he needs to do this and he absolutely will.

I wouldn’t start getting too worried unless the Superdome cuts capacity. I do feel that’s coming though, because of Latoya the Destroya,

frick JBE. Literally has no power to do this, but people will still comply. He cannot create laws, and his mandates are official opinions. He can take his mandates and press conferences, and shove them up his baby-ostrich-looking-arse.

You tell that to yourself. He has used this season as a bargaining chip on multiple occasions. It is trivial to him. He will gladly do it and has already made comments leaning towards it.

100,000 drunk LSU fans will not wear masks.

Yep. Which is why he’ll just limit capacity all together. He can literally wake up and snap his fingers and make it happen

Obviously wasn't directed to you, I was talking about the general people who did vote for him.

You folks who make everything about politics are miserably delusional. You really think he has some personal agenda to limit fans at games. Like that's what he dreamed about when he was just a young boy. Dressing up as governor and handing down crowd mandates behind a cardboard desk.

Grow up.

Actually yes. It’s clear this guy has been on a power trip and he has used this season as bargaining chip on multiple occasions this year. It is no doubt that some of these governors have gotten comfortable with the power that’s been granted to them over the last two years. Yes, I think there is a part of him that will enjoy doing this

It is political. You are the delusional one. Keep your head in the sand while the America I grew up in will cease to exist.

JBE is getting his marching orders from his masters make no mistake about that.

Yeah JBE would never use LSU football as a political pawn:
quote:

In a rare televised statewide address, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards announced Thursday that if state legislators were not able to agree on and pass his set of tax hikes, universities across the state would be forced to shut down before the semester ends and athletics, including high-revenue producing programs like LSU football, would be put on hold, according to The Times-Picayune.

I refuse to attend any LSU sporting event until it’s full capacity and maskless

You’re a good little liberal lapdog! Come have a treat! Do as your governor tells you and everything will be okay!

Worth noting that Jazz Fest was cancelled by the private sector promoters, not government. I hope LSU requires vaccine for attendance.

Lol, a vaccine for which strain of the coronavirus? The vaccine was developed to attack a specific protein in the original strain. The newest strains including Delta have different proteins and the vaccine has no effect. Follow the science, that is if it hasn't been deleted from google or youtube. Do your own research.

WTF? That’s totally incorrect. Idiots like you are the biggest cause of the problem we’re having right now
