    Troubling incident....that there are people who are so ignorant and hateful like Vidrine. Even more troubling is that no one called him out for his actions.
    Yes we have freedom of speech and I don’t think it’s LSU’s responsibility to punish or limit him. First off his parents and his faith should have taught him to be better.
    To have a civil society in this multi racial multi religious time actions like Vidrine ‘s are not acceptable. I don’t want the government to tell me what to think or what to say.....but it is incumbent on all of us to at least treat others with respect. It’s also incumbent on society to call bad acts and actors out when they act as Vidrine did. His friends, his family, his church should be the ones who act. If they don’t we are all poorer.

    I noticed that too. No way she gets a 50 yard FG past the line in game conditions.
    @Jmg My feelings about Lloyd are the same when the discussion came up when the LSU goalie talked about trying out. Let 'em try. Let a few girls get clobbered and maybe we won't have to listen to them any more.

    Her friend that was quoted in the article should have beat Foxworth's ass. Come to think of it, everyone around him should have beat his ass. Your right to speak your mind is only protected from government censorship. It doesn't protect you from the consequences of being an asshole.

    That said, these girls are serious snowflakes. You can't handle someone calling you names? You have to cry to the university and try to make a national thing out of someone calling you a name? Geez. I thought we were supposed to learn how to handle that sort of stuff in kindergarten and first grade.

    Well said. The problem with always running to authorities is they take control....then you get thought police etc.
    on a personal level they never grow up and learn to be strong and gain self confidence

    its not troubling, if it happened. its one clown that is drunk. no action by anyone is necessary. the proper course of action is to not care what people say.

    seems a bit of an overreaction to beat him up. at most i would say hey bud you are kinda rude. even that seems pointless. best reaction would be to say "hey fuck yourself drunko! GO TIGERS"
