I get what you’re saying but the majority of these athletes haven’t been pampered their entire life.

A lot come from very bad circumstances and see football as their only way out.

I mostly watched it (walked away a lot to tend to my smoker and never once felt anxious in doing so).

I won’t lie and say I “enjoyed” the outcome, but I had a sort of indifference to it that I haven’t had with LSU football in some time. Certainly I can’t recall from a first game.

Our household didn't watch either. In fact, my #1 LSU fan didn't even realize the game was on until I told him. And life did not end.

Tigers United IS a fine message. But what has created the division that’s now requiring this contrived message?

I’m done. Didn’t watch yesterday and didn’t keep up with the game at all. Had friends over that are avid LSU fans and they didn’t mention wanting to watch it either.

No one was checking scores or getting updates any yesterday. Everyone was pretty much in agreement and had settled on their own way before yesterday that college/pro sports were dead to them.

what you don't want is to watch what is kind of revealing itself to be a farce of a season. Without the fans present it is not the same...yesterday proved that.


Football is a spectator sport. Without the crowd, tailgating and everything else that goes into the shared experience of football Saturday, what's the point?

Disavow BLM and issue a statement that praises the fundamental ideals this country was founded on. They can acknowledge we haven’t always lived up to those ideals but the basis for this country is moral and right and something we should be proud of.

That would be a good start, but the truth is that I’m done with this generation of athletes and coaches who pushed all this as well.


This group will push this agenda even harder the next time a rapist gets shot while fighting a police officer.

I really am content with walking away from LSU football on a perfect high note with last season.

It just feels right.

I watched. No blm, no kneeling. One message about tigers united against racism. Nothing about really systemic racism. Just a general support of black athletes and stop racism. Very patriotic video that played during the national anthem. As statements go it was basically non-existent. It was about football.

This was nothing like the NBA or NFL.

IMO O lost the team when Ryan started his shite and LSU lost fans with BLM and allowing their coach to be attacked by a former player.

We were at a gathering and the host had the game on so I did see parts of it. I was laughing by the end.

This is coming from a decades long season ticket holder who sat through all of the Hallman days. A bad team would never be a reason for LSU to lose me as a fan. I’ve seen much worse. Insinuating I’m a racist and propping up Marxism and hate through BLM is, though. There’s no football team, individual athlete or university that will ever come before this country and the future of my kids.

it becomes a sport, like track and field, it’s about growth and athletics. Entertainment to the players. I’m fine with it just being that.

Breh...

FKA is already gone, but let's look past that...

As others have already said, the problem runs deep. This isn't just about the brass of the university bowing down to BLM... It's also about an entire generation of athletes that feel empowered by all the SJW-ism ...

An entire generation of young, black American athletes that have been brainwashed from an early age into a mentality that believes they are a perpetual victim because of the color of their skin, while ironically they get a free, high level college education that most people their age cannot afford, all in exchange for playing a sport that they're good at partially because their racial genetic lineage gives them a likely predisposition to being more athletic and better at sports.

And, not all but many of them, have no problem telling white America that we are the oppressors and racists. The ignorance and irony is very thick.

This could get ugly for ticket sales next year. Especially if we have a down year this year. We have long put up with good and bad products on the field for the game day experience. The experience is gone now.

Here here! This is my feeling on the matter as well.

I watched the first half when I was at the office but it was really bad. I will most likely not tune in again.
