Well, due to the horrendous journalism characteristic of both Scott Rabalais and the Advocate, I read that entire story and still have no idea who is who, who said what, who was offended, or why this girl was threatened.

And I also don’t give a flying frick about any of it. Welcome home, Alexis. We’re nothing special, but we’re way better than that shithole you just left

Disagree. LSU is one of the premier programs in the country and has knocked on the door of a national title a couple of times.

The worst part of this situation is the rank hypocrisy. This young lady was singing a song with lyrics that is put out by black rappers, much like the songs which blare from auto speakers while stopped near you at a stoplight or at Circle K as you tank up. Its not like she created some racist lyrics and acted a fool on Instagram as some dumb asses have done.

Its a safe bet these same type songs are heard on college campuses every day. Its what this generation knows and embraces. White kids are attracted to black rap and hip hop . Few black kids are attracted to much music put out by white musicians. Thats just the way it is. This young lady doesn't have to undergo some kind of moral cleansing nor should she be known forever more for her alleged oh so hurtful actions. Spare me the tears of hurt until you stand up against these same mysoginistic, racist and violent lyrics no matter who sings them and where they are played.

Rabalais is the worst. I recall reading one of his articles several years ago where he quoted Samuel Clemens and butchered the quote so bad it was laughable.

Welcome Alexis Jeffery to LSU.

I agree. I read the whole article, and have no idea what Rabalais is actually reporting. All I really got was that the gymnast is transferring to LSU. Why? I haven't a clue.
