Another Issue With Saying Something "Touchy"

I was told by a kid in a big south T-Shirt during the match tonight...
"Enough with the 'Eat More Chicken' chant, out Tournament Director said to stop."
Are you SERIOUS?
I am getting sick and tired of this.
The rules were nothing "vulgar, sexual, or racial".
That doesn't fit into any of those.

Who is the tournament director, Mickey? I find it hard to believe he would have said something.
Rome was not built in a day...and it will take a while to change the on-campus attitude towards things. Look at how far we've come in just the past two years.

I am hoping it isn't someone LU affiliated...
Should I e-mail JB about this?

Well I won't be there tomorrow, there are pressing issues in Boiling Springs to tend to.
I just hate that we have no freedom at sporting events. It's starting to irk me.

Well I don't know how it "used to be"
But I grew up a Bucs fan, where profanities and racial slurs were hurled at opponents, and members of our team, several times a minute.

How it used to be...
...well-meaning fans coming down out of the stands to pray for and laying hands on...an injured OPPOSING PLAYER!

Yo bro,
I was wondering what happened, i was sitting with my friend and we were wondering what was going on...
You weren't wrong at all... Chicken is good and we ate some for sure tonight 3-0... My friend was telling me she has been a jerk to our (LU) staff about stuff for this tourney, he works with the athletics dept. Sorry you had to go through that trouble tonight
