LSU responds to Rouses “controversy”

The LSU Athletics department says photos showing Rouses co-owner Donald Rouse Sr. at last week's protest which ended in a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol are "deeply troubling," but it's unclear if the controversy will affect the university's advertising relationship with the supermarket chain.
On Monday, a university spokesperson released the following statement regarding the situation.
"We are aware of the news reports concerning Rouse’s connection to the violent, unlawful attacks at the U.S. Capitol and find them deeply troubling. As a public institution, LSU Athletics embraces its obligation to uphold democratic ideals and principles, condemns any assaults upon those ideals, and expects the same of its partners."
Rouse was photographed among the crowd in Washington, D.C. Wednesday. The picture quickly spread across social media, leading many to call for a boycott of the store.
Rouse released a statement a day after the riot saying he "left before the violence began" and condemned those who violently forced their way into the Capitol building.

You would think LSU wouldn't be trying to get less donations in this day and age.

frick LSU...this is the best thing that could ever happen to Rouses. They are getting the best free pub they could ever dream of

Will Rouses find that LSU players’ presence at a crime scene Ja “very troubling” and cut off sponsorships with the school?

So Rouse's owner participated in breaking into the capitol?
I must have missed that part.

One more reason LSU struggles to raise funds.

Didn’t LSU promote the right to peacefully protest last summer?
Did something change?

I'd laugh if Rouses pulled their funding from LSU, you know it is in the millions

Right now, Breaux Mart and Rouses are two grocery store businesses that are supported or owned by people who move in the same circles as white supremacists.

If they didn't break into the capital, don't loop them in with the people that did.
Sorry, but drawing a line from people that attended a protest to people that broke the law in the capital is just as ridiculous as tying BLM to violent riots and protests.

He went to a damn political rally/protest. He didn't storm the capitol or anything
Is a business owner not allowed to have non woke political leanings these days?
