A bunch of Tigers will be flooding the booths in Baton Rouge this November, because LSU head coach Ed Orgeron says ALL of his players decided to team up and register to vote.

Orgeron revealed the team's decision on the "Off The Bench" show on ESPN Radio Tuesday morning, saying he's working alongside his players to come up with ways to fight the issues they face every day.

"We had a great team meeting with our football team and I talked to them about specific stuff that was going on in the world today," Coach O said.

Orgeron added the team's leadership committee -- consisting of 12 players and several coaches -- came up with the idea to make their voices heard by hitting the voting booths.

"One of the solutions that they came up with as a group and to represent the team, that we're gonna register to vote. The guys wanted to take action."

They'll be voting for those who will take more money from them if they make it to the NFL.

too bad most of them will be voicing their opinions in favor of evil candidates. Coach O is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

As previously noted this is going to impact every team and that’s fine. I bet you that college players will soon get a stipend and they probably should

So people with different politics than you are evil? That's where this country went wrong. There's no more middle ground on anything.

Shouldn’t have voted for Trump if you didn’t want people to turn out in droves for the Democratic candidate. It will probably be 12 years before the GOP recovers enough to be able to retake the presidency.

Y’all did this to yourselves. Congrats on the 4 years though, I guess?

Glad Coach O and the players are all doing their part.

Good one!

Vote for Biden and give 40% of your NFL salary into the kitty (39.6%) vs the 20+%

That’s one helluva dilemma huh!

I think he's saying the issues they seem most worried about are most prevalent in liberal run cities and states.

Without getting into too much politics on this board, there's been a pretty big outcry of protesters condeming said democratic mayors in those cities, just saying. Minneapolis, NYC, Seattle, etc...

Voting isn't the issue. It's the 2 piece of shite choices that are.
