children legit have nothing to do with lsu.

So you are basically saying LSU should cater ONLY to its students and alumni. LSU Football would disappear without the support of the fans that did NOT go there.

Other than the kids:

1) It’s beyond trashy.
2) It reflects poorly on LSU when such filth is being aired on national TV.
3) It’s against Tiger Stadium policy:

Sportsmanship
LSU encourages its fans to show good sportsmanship and conduct themselves in a manner that represents LSU, the Southeastern Conference and the NCAA with honor, dignity and respect. All fans in attendance shall:

Demonstrate the qualities of civility and sportsmanship at all times.
Refrain from the use of vulgar, abusive, racist, sexist, demeaning or intimidating language at any time.
Always support the players, coaches and officials in a positive manner.
Treat the visiting team, coaches and fans with courtesy and respect at all times.
Refrain from engaging in cheers that are vulgar, crass or demeaning.
Refrain from throwing objects for any reason.
LSU Athletics has high standards of fan behavior for all guests in attendance – failure to comply with the sportsmanship guidelines set forth may result in ejection and loss of future ticket privileges.

Same with "I'm From Louisiana" and all the other piped in music that so many on here gripe about. I don't want to see any posters try to play both sides of the fence here. Either we want to keep the players energized, or we don't.

frick the players. I want to keep myself happy. And me being happy involves Neck and no Bitch I’m from Louisiana.

Then come on Mr hot shot. Point out any flaws in my post.

To be honest, I don't have strong feelings on the issue of playing neck one way or the other. I can see both sides of the issue.

But, your post is very flawed.

1. You say LSU does not have to "cater" to toddlers, yet by selling tickets for use by the general public, including toddlers, they do take certain responsibilities to provide "appropriate" entertainment, safety and conduct to that public. In addition, the school and conference enjoys lucrative contracts and revenue from television broadcasters which likewise come with responsibilities and restriction. The school seems to be trying to abide by these responsibilities.

2. You seem to be arguing that only students and alumni need to be taken into consideration when determining the appropriate level of conduct that goes on during the game and is witnessed/heard by tens of thousands in the stadium and millions via television. That is simply not the case and would not be nearly as lucrative for the school.

3. If you don't have to take into consideration the age of attendees when deciding what is appropriate, where do you draw the line? Is it acceptable to broadcast XXX porn on the screens during time outs? Snuff films?

Was I the only one who heard the player yell STTDB as he ran past Coach O and his post gane interview toward the north end? It was on SEC Network, live.

I have come to endorse this message. Viva La STTDB!

If you decide to bring your child into an environment that you know will include tens of thousands of drunk, irresponsible adults than that's your own decision but lsu isn't responsible for providing a 100% kid friendly environment.

this. don't be mad when an athletic event at a UNIVERSITY doesn't cater to children at 10 PM.

No kid card here, but if I wanted to use that argument I would. Instead, I’ll kust leave it as trashy, and call it a day, because that’s all it really is is Trashy... appreciated by low rent base individuals of base intelligence and base morality.
