Profanity is a crutch for inarticulate motherfrickers. - Unknown
There is a very distinct line between people who have class and respect for themselves and others and those who do not. If you use profanity in the presence of women and children or defend those who do, you are slime, very simple.
It doesn't matter if it is at a football game, a restaurant or the mall. I don't agree with a lot of what he says but I agree with Colin Cowherd on this, there are job guys and career guys, if you can't behave yourself in front of others you are job guy.

Because in my 36 years of living on this planet, the people that pose themselves as being the most saintly, without fault, and look down on others "aka self righteous" are usually the ones that I find out over time are anything but.
I could literally provide a dozen examples of people I know that are this way.
"...and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who have trespassed against us"....wait what?!

This is a total straw man argument. I didn't say I was saintly, without fault or looking down on anyone that's your assumption and a pretty poor one considering (thank the Lord)....that we have never met. I believe that in a public setting (Tiger Stadium in particular) with women and children around, people should display some sensitivity and discretion and refrain from using certain language.
What is incredible, is that so many of you love L.S.U. football and wouldn't miss a home game to save your lives. And you are incapable of understanding that the insensitivity of a tiny number of fans is depriving so many of us of this same experience. Because we don't want to submit our wives or children to the constant barrage of "F" bombs.....we cannot enjoy L.S.U. football games with our families.......chose to stay home and that's really a sad commentary.
Now try to respond without attacking me personally.

There is a difference between recognizing that you've made mistakes and telling everyone to mind their own business if you decide to curse in front of women and children.
The right way to see this is that if you are in a PUBLIC space, it is a space used by everyone. Have some self-control. If someone was calling LSU players "nig***s", would that be acceptable? Would anyone be wrong to be offended? Should you just be able to say it? I bet you have self-control when it comes to that in a public place, right?
Then why can't you have self-control when it comes to dropping F-bombs in front of children? You can. You just don't want to and you want to push back against anyone who says you shouldn't do that.
Freedom doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want. It means you are free to be the person you need to be. Sorry, but I do believe there are standards of public decency and even if we don't all live up to them all the time, we can at least agree that there are standards. Neither you nor I are the standard. We all fall short. The standard exists outside of us and is not dependent on whether or not we meet it.

Look I'll go ahead and say it without dodging around the subject...the standard is Christ. And then there is all of humanity who is less than Christ, but we strive every day to get closer and closer to him.

My friend I can cuss like a drunken sailor when I am among my male friends. As for being in public and around women and children it is really quite simple - if you wouldn't say it in front of your grandmother then don't say it in. Unfortunately there are quite a few LSU students who go overboard to prove their "adulthood."

Agreed. Some might say you should maintain the same amount of discretion wherever you are. The reality is there's different standards depending on where you are. In public, the standards are higher. In the men's club, drinking beer and watching the Tigers on the tube it's a different deal.

Took kids to came. Never heard anything but "got to hell Ole Miss" They ask if they could yell that too, which I told them to shut the f*&^ up? (JK) I told them no of course.
I was really worried about this, as not usually sit up high but in the 638-639 everything was great. I think I was one of worst fans as I unloaded on these BS roughing Pass interfrence calls on that Bears drive, loudly for five minutes but with no profanity. Few Drunks but harmless. There was a drunk dancing bear below us but everyone was just laughing at him.

Profanity is a form of Bullying.

I agree with this completely. But, not everyone here does. You don't have to be a Christian to agree that you shouldn't use the F-word in front of children.
Still, this is ultimately a spiritual conversation and where you end up spiritually likely says a lot about what you believe on this. I believe in absolute truth and standards of human decency. Others don't. If you don't believe in standards, than you can do what you want. Unfortunately, what they want is disrespectful to other people.

So OP, is the example that you want for your children is that when you have a problem you should just ignore it, do nothing and then go home and bitch about it on an Internet message board? The way I was raised when you have a problem you should address it. What did the gentleman say when you approached him about his language? What did the ushers and stadium employees do when you brought your issue to them? I mean you did try and remedy the situation somehow right? Oh well, I guess some people are just raised differently than others.

Exactly. If their parents or kids were sitting with them, they wouldn't cuss. But they're fine with cussing around my kids.

You idiot...didnt you read his post?..an occasional drunk going off now and then was not unusual 25 years ago. I went to games as a kid through the 70's and 80's and it was safe to bring your family...You sadly will never know that atmosphere because you accept and make excuses for the assholes who have no concept for what decent behavior is. Its truly pathetic.
