Alabama game threat

After the World Series game and the UFC event, it's becoming a joke that Trump is searching for a sporting event he can attend without being booed.  The most recent hope is Alabama, and even that's going to be fixed.
The University of Alabama's student government is reportedly warning that students could lose their reserved football seating for the rest of the year if they protest President Trump's appearance during Saturday's game against LSU.

“Additional security will … be in the student section during the game. Any organizations that engage in disruptive behavior during the game will be removed from block seating instantly from the remainder of the season,” Vice President of Student Affairs Jason Rothfarb wrote in a letter to students, AL.com reported on Wednesday.

In a statement Wednesday afternoon, however, the university's Student Government Association appeared to walk back the earlier threat, saying it had meant to warn only about inappropriate behavior.

  The Hill
Who decides what inappropriate behavior is?
“Today’s report erroneously assigned a political context to a message meant only to remind students about heightened security and the consequences of altercations or other behaviors unbecoming of a University of Alabama student, as defined in the Capstone Creed.”
Sure.
The game, one of the most anticipated of the season due to Alabama and LSU’s high rankings and decades-long rivalry, is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. local time Saturday.

It is the third sporting event Trump is scheduled to attend in recent weeks, following a World Series game at Nationals Stadium where he was booed by attendees and an Ultimate Fighting Championship event in Madison Square Garden where he received a mix of cheers and boos.
Bring out your boos, Alabama. Challenge this bullshit.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
