Nope liberals like you love COVID bc you used it to get a dementia riddled vegetable “elected” as president.
Aside from the garbage product we’ve seen on the field in the last 11 games, we are the only stadium in the entire SEC to put these draconian protocols in place. I have ABSOLUTELY no doubt that if there weren’t money ramifications they would’ve extended it to tailgating as well. So spare me the sob story
They're already losing money from the stadium protocols... Me believing in Covid makes me a liberal automatically? PhillyTiger, I doubt I can convince you of this but I just want you to know that what you say about me is completely false. I'm not really political under normal circumstances. I'm a working class musician who went to LSU for free on TOPS who has lost my entire livelihood to covid. Why would I want this go on any longer... I want to work! I do not care who is the president personally.

Empty stadium sends a message that the level of play and effort is unacceptable. If you want to loaf and just run around the field going through the motions... that's fine. I'll find something better to do on a Saturday.
As for the protesting games until COVID protocols are dropped (like they have been everywhere else in the SEC).
I don't have time to sit there with a 2 year old and make sure they're wearing a mask. Especially since I know the premise behind making people mask up is bullshite. I don't have the patience to be harassed by some retarded swamp monster Marshall that's flexing his new found power.

It blows my mind that so many of you legitimately think the protocols were put in place just to fit some agenda and stick it to hardworking Louisianians. What does JBE or Tate have to gain by pissing off a good chunk of the fanbase? They are politicians, don't you realize they want you to like them ultimately? At the time they put in the protocols, Louisiana was literally the biggest hotspot for Covid in the entire world?? I'm not saying this decision specifically was designed for you to like them... but I know yall know they were aware this was going to piss a lot of people off.
The decision do not make any sense and there is not any reasoning behind it other than to prove a point and make thinks difficult iot bully people into doing what they want.
The vaccine does not stop you from getting covid or spreading covid.
So if the reasoning is to keep covid out of the stadium, then why would they not test all potential spreaders??? It doesn't make any sense and it's stupid. They are testing the non vaccinated to make sure they don't spread covid? But won't test the other half of the stadium that can possibly and out of that many people someone will have it. Just doesn't make sense and it's abad polite look.

Ok I hear you but masks are not required for children under 5 or adults over 12.

Exactly! The Covid protocol is flawed! Which brings us back to the unanswered question.

They also aren’t required for anyone outside the stadium tailgating before the game so thousands of people will be bumping shoulders with potentially positive individuals.
The Covid protocols and their lack of protocols on tailgating make absolutely zero sense and will
Have zero impact from a safety standpoint. If they make zero sense and have zero impact and just inconvenience a large number of people, why have them?

Yeah in theory that's great in all but its none of some dip shite ushers business on how old my kid is and why they aren't wearing a mask. If the governor and university president care so much they can walk up and down the isles and enforce the rules.

A deadly Virus that you have to TEST to see it you HAVE IT

It's makes it much somewhat less likely you'll catch it. Significantly less likely you'll get very sick. Unlikely you'll be hospitalized. And rare you'll die.
LSU Tiger Turner, we both can probably agree the testing not vaccinated is really just a way to cause an inconvenience to encourage them to be vaccinated. But unfortunately where I think we'll disagree is the reasoning behind that move. My take is they are trying to get more people vaccinated because it's wayy less likely 2 vaccinated people will spread the virus to each other. It seems you think it's simply a power grab and thats basically it. Am I correct in that read?
Again, I totally get why you'd not want to be pushed into that. What I can't get over is... wouldn't you hope that a bunch of tiger fans show up anyway (in spite of the BS) and show out?

But what I do NOT understand, is why you take that next step where you're hoping to see the stadium as empty as possible.
As already explained in this thread, to apply pressure to clean up the football program.

Why would you wish that on our players
Let's talk about the players. Are these the same ones who quit in the 4th quarter last week? The same ones that admit to being out of shape and unprepared? The same guys playing completely uninspired after a year that should've embarrassed them enough?
Ok all of that may be harsh, but let's not act like they are void of criticism. An empty stadium sends them a message that if they aren't going to care neither will the fans. I see no issue here if this is how the fans choose to be heard.

That's the whole frickin reason they are pushing the vaccine so hard.... so Covid's effects become nominal and we can just get back to normal life.
I feel sorry for people who really believe this. I do.
IF this was about safety, there's a laundry list of things they should also be doing besides limiting freedoms of tax paying citizens.
Releasing prisoners (that raped and killed again) and allowing illegals to flow in by the thousands daily are just two examples of why you are beyond help.

This is honestly the best point in this thread so far against my argument, Oil Field Biology. I think you make a good point. The only push back I can give to that point is that they are probably figuring that people who are so opposed to the mandates, etc probably aren't even going to show up to tailgate. That's the vibe I get on here. People either get it and are here for it. Or they are so disgusted and offended by the idea of it all that they'll be boycotting campus all together.
But still, there's no doubt what you say is true at least to some extent.

If you want someone to change something you do not like you must do so through incentives, either negative or positive.
If LSU fans want a coaching change there are a few options:
1. Call/write voicing your frustration. That really does nothing because it has no impact on the AD what so ever.
2. Stop donating. This gets people’s attention as they no longer have cash reserves and it hits the bottom line. Most people however do not donate enough by themselves to impact decisions.
3. Stop going to games. Not only does this stop money from flowing into the university/TAF, it also sends a very public, visible message of your displeasure.
So for what ever reason you want something changed, these are the actions and recourses fans have. If you want something changed badly enough (personnel, policy, etc) you probably want other people to take the same or similar actions as you so the impact is even larger.
That’s why people won’t show up and wish others don’t as well.

Estimated survival from covid 19 is 99.75%. With your logic we should mandate annual flu shots and everyone wear plastic bubble suits.

That's a pretty tough place for me to try and reach you. Not disputing that ultimately every news source does have an owner. But since you can't trust anything from any news outlet... who has to tell you something that you can believe? Like what if the virus actually was a real thing that has already killed 600,000 Americans. How would you ever know?
Posted on 9/10/21 at 1:53 pm to musictiger
Not that I am for any Covid protocol but.....Wouldn’t the safest protocol be to have everyone just provide a test. That way, no active carriers of the virus in attendance. Closes the loophole on vaccinated carriers.

And I’m going to the game. I want to see a full tiger stadium. I want a crazy Saturday night. There isn’t a better place to be, I can just kind of feel it with the amount and costs of tickets on the secondary market that there just won’t be a lot of tiger fans there. The order of reasons why according to me are:
1. Team performance last week
2. Hurricane Ida
3. Covid protocols.
