I bet you went to school up hill both ways... I am probably of your generation, or closer to it than the students now. My daughter is of the generation you talk of, and you are wrong. And you are making generalizations about a huge group of people.
Wow, that is extreme. For a silly chant students can no longer go to a football game. With that logic, the football players could not enter the stadium, as they are students too, and there would be no football game.
I hate when people try to justify their actions by the free country statement. You do live in a free country (for now) but it is also a Majority rule democracy. If the Majority of Tiger Stadium is offended by what a few are doing, the FEW have to stop or leave. I strongly believe in my 1st amendment rights, but I also know those rights are given to me with the understanding that I will be responsible and use those rights respectfully.:thumb:
So you seen people removed from the stadium when all they did is use vulgar language? These said people weren’t also drunk, or perhaps addressing another fan when speaking? I find it hard to believe that an officer would escort me out for screaming “Suck my d*ck Nick!” at the top of my lungs, without any other factors being involved. But , if you seen it. If LSU, (a public school) authorized security officers that they employed to keep the peace in Tiger stadium, to remove their students from a sporting event for using vulgar language would be a violation of their constitutional right to free speech. However, I could be wrong. As much as I hate to admit it, we all have the right to free speech but none of us have a right “not to be offended” from someone else’s free speech. If people can picket a veterans funeral, the kids in the student section can chant “suck that tiger’s d*ck.” As tasteless as it may be.
If there are complaints, then yes it is addressed. Usually the offender ceases and deists when confronted. If not...see ya. I have never said anything to anyone that was making off color statements no matter how I felt about it. But just one complaint I ask the person to stop. It hasn't been a problem. The trick here is asking a large audience to respect the wishes of another large audience. If maturity prevails we are all good. If we get the "kids throwing a tantrum" mentality then there will be a resolution that some may not like.
No, people's behaviour include them in that group I am talking about. And some of your statements reflect that you are of the same mindset as those I am referring to. Never been to school up hill both ways. Not as old as you think just more mature.
Whenever you attend an event on campus you are subject to the guidelines set up by the university. This also applies in the real world. If you were to enter a place of bussiness and start yelling obsenities you would be asked to stop or most probably asked to leave. If you do not leave, law enforcement gets involved and will remove you. For those who don't understand the laws this is no excuse. If you are told to stop certain behavior at the game but authorities or told to leave and you don't you will be charged with "staying after forbidden" and escorted out. If you get in someone's face and speak abusively toward them it is assault. When you purchase a ticket to a football game you are a "guest" and pay for the privilage to see the event. This does not excuse you from the guidelines on behavior that LSU has established and are enforced by Game Management and law enforcement. Rules are in place to ensure all customers can enjoy the game. Plus it is called self control and having respect for other people and yourself.
never seen it personally, but it's written somewhere (program maybe), and the PA announcers has said it as well.
