An online petition is demanding that Louisiana State University change its “Tigers” mascot, calling the moniker “the most prevalent [C]onfederate symbol in the United States.”
According to the author of the petition—a user going by the name “LaMallori LSU”—the nickname was chosen by “powerful white males” as an homage to the Confederate “Louisiana Tigers” regiment, whose members “were known for their propensity for violence on and off the battle field [sic].”

Have them explain it to Mike before dinner - in person of course.
Liberals promise tolerance but only deliver a perpetual PC witch hunt. Class warfare is the specialty of communists.
The sun rising is a symbol of white oppression.
Just understand.
This lunacy will never end. It’ll never stop. Each and every inch we give into these ignorant fools will cost us a mile later.
This Is LSU's 'Mike The Tiger.'I agree, he looks racist.
BTW....

Wonder why Asians aren’t all pissed at LSU for once calling a group of their players “Chinese Bandits”????
U didn’t know it was racist? Everything else is. Shame on you.
"It's a kind of rat."
First they came for the confederate monuments...I did not speak out...for I was not a confederate monument....
We will never, ever learn from Neville Chamberlain, will we?
Asians aren’t after the victim card as much as certain other groups. Finding villains to demonize for self-fulfillment is an art of the hard left.
NO.
Tell “LaMallori” to go bugger itself,
Never give leftists anything.
Yeah, I know...I was being facetious....
I guess Kelloggs Frosted Flakes will have to find a new mascot for their cereal boxes.
I highly doubt LSU will change anything. IF they did, the Alumni donations and game attendance would drop like a lead balloon.
This “LaMallori LSU” character needs to be outed with their real name made available to then entire student body and staff if they feel so strongly about it. Better yet, maybe it might be in “LaMallori LSU”s best interest to find another school to attend IF LSU is so “white dominated”. Southern University is just up the road a few miles.
Doesn’t a tiger have white as well as black stripes?
good grief...
