Get her name wrong and doesn't even get credit for being on the gymnastics team. Just reduced to tiktok sidekick.

Even worse is Edwards getting reduced to Skenes' friend who happened to date Livvy's friend

If society is rewarding you handsomely for something that creates no tangible value, take the fricking picture for the fan instead of acting like your life is one big inconvenience.



sorry baw, wrong board, that's much too rational and sane for this place

Paul, you play a game for a living. You are rich bc fans pay money to attend your games. Without fans to watch the circus, you’d be in the crowd… like the rest of us.


Yes the fans make him money.

But why can’t people be fans and also leave the man the frick alone when he goes out to eat somewhere? Grown men , especially ones who use their kids to approach celebrities or athletes, are pathetic. At most, a passing congratulations on the draft or something if he was to walk by but no reason to try to bother the dude and act like he really wants to talk to you.

Hope it works out but the writing on the wall. She seeks attention. He doesn't. Makes it very difficult in my mind. Since they are just dating might not be a big deal but could be someday.

Her first LSU boyfriend was an LSU pitcher from Canada I think. He transferred and she moved on quickly. Apparently she loves LSU baseball pitchers.

The maturity and leadership Skenes showed as a student-athlete on and off the field was remarkable. This guy gets it. Watching him pitch live in person and even on TV was a privilege.

so true. That’ll probably go further with 99% of 18 year old baseball players than any amount of draftees, championships, etc

No, their life is not an inconvenience.

Does anyone do that to their dentist, Dr, lawyer, accountant, just crash their private lives?

creates no tangible value
So the billions of dollars people pay to watch athletes perform is not tangible. I dont see people lining up to pay to watch me play catch with my boys in the front yard. So, it is the elite athlete that is producing.

t is the fans fault. There is a time and place to approach famous people, harassing them as they go about their life is as bad as the paparazzi. They make themselves available at the events and such....not letting them eat dinner in peace demonstrates a lack of awareness and self control.


This times 1000. I have been in situations where a celebrity is in attendance. It does not enter my mind to go disturb them. Is it cool to see them. Maybe. Is it OK to bother them. NO.

Social media personalities, like actors, singers, and other artists, generate greater income by becoming better known and by people consuming their content.

That does not necessarily mean that they "crave" attention or that they are constantly seeking attention. It's part of the job, but it is not part of the job 24-7.

This board generates plenty of misogynistic posts accusing women of craving and constantly seeking attention. Despite the postings of incels and petty posters, not every attractive woman with a following craves attention or is constantly seeking it. Some women do; some don't.

Some get attention whether they want it or not. Some then channel the attention in a method that is more suitable and/or profitable for them.

I’ve seen a handful of times where people are trying to get photos with an athlete while they’re just trying to be a dad with their kids and it’s cringe. The biggest issue just seems to be that no one thinks there is a time and a place to bother them.

These "LSU version of a Hollywood Gossip TV Show" type threads make me .

All you Tiger Rant Geeks (And all those that worship and idolize LSU athletes as "god like") seem absolutely giddy and fascinated by this BS.

She was in a suite at his minor league games. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if she's the only one up there. Can't imagine suites are in high demand for minor league games.
