re: LSU Law Fighting White Supremacy!

Good. I’d like to fight LSU law.

I stopped giving LSU, or any related entity, any money last year when Tiger Stadium was illuminated to honor George Floyd -- a felon who spent his life terrorizing other people.

frick. That. Noise.

If LSU wants to be woke, it'll be without my white dollars. The school could close its doors tomorrow, and I would lose no sleep over it.

It’s a great question. I don’t have an answer yet so I guess I haven’t reached my breaking point.

I just tell myself to make the distinction between the very loud SJW/woke crowd pushing this harmful post-modernistic thought and the majority of kids who refuse to buy into it. It’s the latter that I want to help.

I get it, and appreciate the thoughtful response. As I am not an alumnus of LSU in any respect, my ties to the university have always been only as a "sidewalk fan" since I was a little kid. Despite that, I've always believed that as the flagship university of the state LSU should be well funded and treated as such.

I did my part by supporting LSU Football, knowing that a huge percentage of the excess funds went to the general fund. However, after the insane levels of racist rhetoric that has come out of the university, both the university proper and the athletic department, I decided to give up not just my season tickets which I had lovingly held since 2001, but simply give up supporting the university in any capacity. Although my life took me elsewhere for college, I've loved LSU nearly my entire life, so 40+ years sine I was old enough to follow that 1981 Final Four team a bit as an 11 year old.

While I do not consider my actions a boycott, in that I have no expectations that my actions will cause any changes to huge occur, I would hope that enough of a dent is felt by those of us that have halted financial support that students, athletes, professors, etc will feel the strength to stand up and fight for the same things you and I love about the place. Continuing to support it, while also hating so much of what they are doing, is, in my mind at least, only helping them continue going down the road to an even darker place.
