LSU contest initially excluded 'females' from sideline pass prize; 'mistake' fixed

Searched, SIAP. See also LINK.

An LSU official said Sunday that the school "made a mistake" in the wording of a promotion for a fan contest for the football season opener that once read that "females" who won the contest would not have sideline passes.
The promotion, which was shared on LSU football's official Twitter account, has since removed the wording.
"We made a mistake and it's been corrected," LSU senior associate athletic director Robert Munson said in a post on Twitter.
"Everybody is welcome to participate in the contest."

The contest is a bid on a "Dream Weekend" for LSU's game against Georgia Southern on Saturday, and it includes a Friday night hotel stay, meals with the football team and two sideline passes to the football game.
The original promotion finished with a paragraph that read "Females are able to participate in all activities leading up to the game. Sideline passes excluded." The language stirred controversy on social media, drawing comments from several members of the Association for Women in Sports Media, including ESPN reporter Sarah Spain.
"No women allowed on the sideline," Katie Gwinn Hewitt, an associate director for communications and public relations at the University of Michigan, posted. "I'm open to hearing the explanation on this one..."

Well y’all you know what this means. LSU is shutting down. The world today has no place for such an accident.

Good! Send them back to the kitchen before they get hit by a flying football and sue LSU since they are so busy instagrammimg and getting snaps of 20 shirtless dudes at once from their one basic bitch snap.
JK, good catch LSU

Personal point of Priviledge but LSU should not use gender specific terms because it hurts some people’s feelings

LSU says they made a mistake in the wording. What were they trying to say?

I hope someone asks tomorrow in the first LSU regular season press luncheon.

The only real answer for this is lots of knee jerk reactions.
Probably should cancel the football season, boycott LSU athletics, have LSU give some massive apology, and rename so sort of street or building because it was named after a white person anyway and black folks don’t feel welcome because of that.

aTm fan wins. Still a pussy on the sidelines.

I've done this before. They probably meant to say no females in the locker room.

This BS has been going on for years. I bid on a trip many years ago at the recruiting bash and was told the same thing. Ended up on the phone with coach’s secretary, I think it was Saban at the time, to try to get an explanation. Debated whether to file a discriminatory lawsuit but figured it wouldn’t go anywhere
