Named after the baddest Mofo's in the Confederate Army. Louisiana's regiment kicked arse for the side that waved the Confederate flag!!!
Ya'll can stick your political correctness up your collective bung holes.

Hopefully everyone just ignores it and realizes they’re named after the actual tiger they have as a mascot

I hate to admit it but honestly, the longer this shite goes on the more I’m losing my love for college athletics, and especially professional sports in general. It’s to the point where it probably won’t take much for me to 86 all sports all together and switch gears in my life, and that’s honestly not just idle talk. I’m dead serious about it.

The only way they have power is if you give it to them


Just ignore them and stand firm

Until LSU's mascot is changed. This is how these people operate. This won't go away until you're demoralized enough to just accept your new normal.

The only place I’ve heard of people wanting to change it is here on TD. Stop trying to speak it into existence. I know a hardcore SJW who wants to rename the buildings and all that but even he said the Tiger mascot is sacred, no longer represents the Civil War and should not be changed.

You give the cancel culture too much credit in being able to think things through. At one point, they spray painted on parts of the Lincoln Memorial. Let that one sink in, for a bit.

Hopefully, interim president/don't rock the boat pussy cuck Tom Galligan doesn't give in when the assured backlash of the name Fightin Tigers comes up.

Now I made a post about Corndogs and all that but this is serious. I can see an issue being made of this and its way out of hand.

If the players do like they are in Austin Tx you'll lose.

The morons who keep bringing this up certainly seem like they want it to be noticed.

I guess if we can make a new thread on this exact topic 24 times a day, it will be soon.

I guess that folks really do want LSU to change the name and I guess it will happen soon -- it is a topic of conversation around here all day every day.
