Are we really complaining about how someone got their Tiger Card?

All in all, great moment for people obsessed with people being obsessed with race but definitely don’t care about it themselves to get upset.


don’t forget those on TD who obsess over the people who obsess with people being obsessed with race. like yourself.

Not surprisingly, you missed the point of that post. Maybe LeBron can explain it to you in layman's terms.

Who cares if they knew him if ID was required they should have made him go back and get it (i don’t know what requirements are but know to show up to first day of job with proper ID).

He probably left it on purpose or lied about not having it hoping to give his critical racist partners something to say wouldn’t have happened to a white person when asked to get it or maybe black people really do have inferior showing their DL capabilities…

Fake outrage 2-step

Step 1. Cry over nothing
Step 2. Tell people they missed the point when they point out you’re crying over nothing.

The frustration is that an official school ID is held with the understanding that you have supplied primary documents to get it. Hundreds of thousands of LSU students and faculty have gone through that office and they were all required to show valid ID.



That's fair, but that wasn't the "frustration" presented in the OP.

Obviously you missed the point too. Maybe you two can get together and hash it out. It'll be a fun little project for you

I feel as I am out of the loop. Why do people here dislike him? It can't just be because he's black right? Was it just an obvious affirmative action hire? I don't know anything about this guy.

I got a new student ID for about 3 years after I graduated because my fraternity bros were in charge of taking student ID photos, it was the best way to get into LSU games at the time

who leaves their drivers’ license at home


I've done it before. Also left it at work before when I had to scan it for benefits reasons.

I then got carded buying beer on the way home, fortunately my bartending license counted as a valid government issued photo ID.

Okay, never done that.

I’m 46 and have been driving since 15. I have forgotten my wallet/license once in 31 years.

I did just the other day. Had taken my billfold out of my pocket and put it in my tennis bag one night while playing tennis, and forgot to get it out when I got home that night.

When you left your wallet at home and you realized it, was a picture also taken of you holding your spare wallet that you carry all the time in your hand?

I'm just saying it is a completely bullshite "story" and his ID is probably in the wallet he is holding in his hand in the picture taken by the PR department.

Gotta get folks talking and be relatable, particularly when half the people at your new place of employment probably hate you.
