A reasonable question, as then-president Alexander was ordering a name change for Raphael Semmes Road that obliged the African American Cultural Center to include a Confederate admiral on their stationary.
Legit question: how many students and faculty actually knew who Semmes was?
I had no idea he was a Confederate until after I graduated and that was because of the road being renamed.

If we're going this far, King Louis wasn't exactly perfect. Can't stop with LSU's mascot. You'll have to change the name of the entire state. In for a penny, in for a pound once you start down the Road to Appeasement of the .00001%

That's exactly what Redskins fans said
When their major sponsors started complaining, that’s when the redskins started listening.
I doubt college athletics relies on corporate sponsors to that extent. Surely someone here knows better than me.

How are people not contacting Advocate advertisers at this point?
We need to start a movement. Surely posters on here are employees at businesses that advertise there.

I TOLD you people this was coming when your hero Willy ran his mouth about something at Bama and you did not believe me. It's just starting and they will not stop.
Someone has to stand up to the bastards and it might as well be you. But if the team gets on board you are done.

Other colleges have already said they will not be changing their names. Neither will LSU

Just a reminder that this is LSU’s first President-

More coverage on this than on Murphy Paul and his hug a thug moment this week. Smh.

Correct.
William Jenkins isn't coming through that door.
Tom Galligan has shown himself to be a complete bitch to the SJW brigades.

Built his empire on the backs of slaves. No doubt must change name of the state.

Wait until some brainwashed player gets wind of this and decides to seek “justice” for his people and convinces his teammates to go along.
I will bet at a minimum the history of why Tigers gets whitewashed.

It’s going to happen. Just like Auburn will lose “war eagle.”

More likely to be a blackout.
