Quit it with the “I’m not going to the home games because of the liberal mask and vaccine requirement”. I’ve been to both home games with large groups of people and neither time have any of us had to walk in with a mask on or show our vaccination cards.


So let me get this straight. The school announced a rule for both entry requirements as well as while attending that damn near a majority of fans disagree with and a large portion, all be it smaller, vehemently disagree with. On top of years of actions and decisions that eroded game day atmosphere in an attempt to squeeze every penny out of every attendee and individual on campus.

And you want people to just get over it because they aren’t enforcing it? If LSU hadn’t spent the last 5-8 years restricting parking, restricting tailgating, corporatizing tickets, and everything inside tiger stadium, these entry requirements and mask mandates would probably have impacted attendance some, but not a lot.

Throw these rules on top of everything else this past decade and you get people looking at the current leadership and people believing: “You don’t give two shits about me or my experience. You simply think you deserve my money regardless of your actions because of my sentimental ties to the university”.

Guess what, people have choices, and they are choosing to make a statement to the university that they disagree with these policies and disagree with this leadership.

The minority (those in power and often not even elected officials) rules again.

Reason needs to get powerful again and shove this BS up some arse...

Rules/decisions have consequences and the leaders knew some would choose not to go when they made the decision - just like the increased costs mentioned above.

Mask/Vax not being strictly enforced doesn’t mean people are all of a sudden ok with this idiotic rule, as someone else stated it actually makes it worse. Zero chance I or my kids would wear a mask outdoors for any reason even just to get past the gate.

All of this stuff pushes more and more people to just watch from the comfort of their house.

And for me, its not just the football related bullshite.

Removing Middleton's name from the library, smearing his name, insulting his family, then refusing to give them back his personal items.

Honoring a career criminal and habitual drug user by lighting up Tiger Stadium in his school colors.

Hiring an expert in CRT to run the flagship university of Louisiana.

I have stopped all monetary donations to LSU - both to the Foundation and the TAF.

So when the covid mandate bullshite came out, it wasn't a hard decision that I'd rather be doing something else than spend all that time and money to support a school whose values are so different than my own; in fact I suspect that those who run the school most likely hate me for my values.

And its a shame too. I love LSU, but it is no longer the LSU that I fell in love with.
