Geaux FLESH!

I don’t get it. Other than being meat eaters, what is the issue with tigers?

First there was the Chief:

[PAR35]

It doesn’t even have the name of the alleged group opposing the mascot.

I’m guessing this is a joke perpetrated by a conference rival.

[Kirkwood]

Maybe because some tigers are white? I dunno...

[PAR35]

Silly indian. You don’t have touchdowns on a basketball court.

(I know, I know. Too many white faces standing behind him for it to be about basketball.)

[chiller]

LSU boosters won't allow or support a name change. It's state run I'm pretty sure so some politicians could get weak-kneed like Mitch did down the road in the Crescent City.

Money will out in LA is my guess Geaux Tigers.

Another story on this subject, said that blacks were offended because the LSU Tigers are allegedly named after a Confederate army group called The Lousisana Tigers. So because of the civil war connotation, which nobody had heard of until now, black groups are demanding a name change. Can't have anything which can be tied to the Confederacy. Up next, the Rebels of Ole Miss will have to change their name too, based on this reasoning​...

**************

“Fighting Tigers” was the name for a Louisiana group of soldiers in the Confederate Army.
The name was adopted at LSU early on and Mike the Tiger is the mascot.

It was a sad, sad day when they were forced by the PC crowd to put the old Chief out to pasture.

“I don’t get it. Other than being meat eaters, what is the issue with tigers?”

There was a Louisiana unit during Lincoln's War that fought for the Confederacy that were proudly known as “Tigers”.

Confederate unit. Get it? Now you must get rid of it.

Or, maybe someone is still upset about the risk the tigers imposed on Sambo.

They switched their mascot from a Southern gentleman to a bear. No more Dixie flag at the Ole Miss games. They have kept the name “Rebels” though.

[EC Washington]

I’ll give the protestors their choice of dates - Saturday, October 14 versus Auburn or Saturday, November 11th versus Arkansas - both home games with about 100,000+ Tiger fans in Baton Rouge. All of you protestors are welcome to try and get rid of Mike on those dates....

Memo to SJW Snowflakes

Just TRY to go to Baton Rouge on a Game Day Saturday, wearing masks, and see just how far you go with your chanting and attempting to disrupt things....

This isn't California, and those Cajuns aren't a bunch of wimpy milquetoasts you can push around....

The last thing that'll go through your mind, before dying a gruesome death and living eternally separated from God in unending agony, are probably some Alligator's teeth after they cut you up and feed you to the swamp creatures.

The entire state of Tennessee is racist because its moniker, The Volunteers, was given to Tennessee because Tennesseans signed up in the tens of thousands to go kill Mexicans when President Polk only asked for 2,500. Tennesseans love to kill Mexicans in pc logic.

[Scrambler Bob]

So because of the civil war connotation, which nobody had heard of until now,
= = =

Maybe, just maybe some snowflake somewhere DID study a little history.

Wrong motive, of course, but just maybe.

They better get back to basket weaving. (Dang, I fell into that cultural appropriation.)

These idiots will only go as far as they’re allowed to. Need those in charge to get a pair, stiffen their spines and say NO!!!
