Why?
Well even if they’re not actually sacred, if a place wants people off of a certain part of their property, they should do something permanent to keep them off is what they’re saying.

Has it been proven they are actually sacred Indian Mounds? I heard a theory the mounds were created when the Huey P Long pool was dug and the governor invented the story as a creative way to excuse keeping the mounds

Does LSU want no one walking on them ever? The sign says no gathering.

I have no idea 
I didn’t even know they had a sign. I thought you were asking why they had the right to keep people off if they want to. My bad.

Then went out slip and sliding on flooded parade grounds.
when I was at LSU they had a week long 24/7 MD flag football game going on on the parade ground every year, one year there was a monsoon going on the entire week, I remember playing a game out there at about 3am in all of that, it really was a fun time

I used to slide down the mounds on box cutouts when I was like 5. Lots of people did it.

Fair enough.

Holy shite! How obtuse can this loser be? Comparing a few small man-made hills to the pyramids and Stonehenge???

I’m honestly surprised that people can just walk on the mounds. They’re the oldest man made structure in the Western Hemisphere(older than the pyramids and Stonehenge). They should be treated a little better.

Lucky for LSU, no one snapped a pic of Les dry humping a fine looking wet spot on the mound in 2007.

As someone who is 1/18th native American, I approve of sledding down the mounds.

LSU students under fire for sledding down Indigenous People Mounds
First you can't drive a Jeep over the darn thing. Now sleds?
What's next? We are going to ban smoking too?

I've certainly slid down them when I was a kid.

My answer to both is Yes and Yes. Except for the issue of preservation of history, I don’t think there is anything disrespectful about playing on Stonehenge or the Pyramids.
To my knowledge, no one still (if they ever did) worships at those places.
Additionally and even more significantly, the Indian Mounds at LSU are less historical and less damageable than those two. We don’t even know much of anything about them or what they were originally for. To assume they were “sacred” is virtue signaling in the extreme.
Kids playing on those mounds seems to be a perfect use, IMO.

No way those Indians were woke so in that case let them be destroyed.
