Politically correct I am not. When I left BR last year having to explain to my young kids what they just heard, it makes things take on a different perspective.
If you find it acceptable, that says more about you than it does me.
Just sayin

Again, directly across from the student section on the east side - we did not hear STTDB. Just saying.
Right, at most you hear them saying something, but can't really make it out, unless you know what they are saying.
And you need a video targeting the specific section, both audio and video, in order to make it clear enough to decipher the chant. I wish they wouldn't even do that.

Yea, even doubting this story, you probably didn't need to tell them what was said. And not to question your parenting skills, but if you flat out told them, yikes...

Old enough to know what they heard, too young to understand why thousands of grown people would decide to chant it.
I still don't understand the answer to that question, but to each their own

While there is no chance any of that happened, I hope your kids have recovered from that very true story. I'm sad the first time they heard a curse word was in tiger stadium.
FWIW, I really do hate it when a child actually hears it. Forgive me if I don't believe a message board poster who has a story that fits perfectly with his agenda.

I understand your skepticism. It's all good. I actually grew up in New Orleans and live in Covington so I go to LSU games frequently (with clients mostly).
I used the fictional experience to teach my kids a life lesson and hopefully steer them away from the ever present draw of LSU on local kids.

1. To your anecdote:
It's a college football game. College. Colleges have students, young students, students who are often wild, crazy and vulgar. In taking your kids to a college football game you're implicitly accepting the risk that your children may encounter people who are inebriated and/or obscene. You either did this willingly or you were ignorant but either way it's on you.
Now the implied point behind the story is "my kids saw vulgarity and I didn't like it, it should not be this way." bullshite. Don't try to make the entire world "safe" for your children, you'll never win and if you did they'd be sheltered burnouts. It'd be one thing if this were somehow a chant at a pop-warner league or Toys-R-Us workers greeted children with it but it isn't. The world doesn't revolve around children.
2. The other argument that seems to be made against STTDB is that it is embarrassing and classless. Who cares? Maybe in some imagined past, football, and especially southern football, was some high-brow event but it isn't. What part of packing yourself into a crowd of almost 100k drunk fans cheering on teenagers in glorified rugby is in anyway classy? Most "Classy" people, our nation's elite, don't find their enjoyment in football, they enjoy more refined events like wagering on horse races, profiteering on wars and insider trading.
Large popular events have always had unseemly components. For every rich and noble person in the boxes of the Globe Theater there were 10 peasants on the lower levels snickering at Shakespeare's thinly veiled crude jokes, hurling cow shite at actors and starting foul chants.
Some mythical non-profane time in which no swear word was ever uttered and children and women roamed free without ever being offended is pure fantasy.

I brought my son to the game. He didn't notice it at all.
He DID notice the hog heads on stakes outside the stadium though. That weirded him out a little bit.

If you think wanting to keep elementary school aged children away from virtually an entire student body singing a song about sucking a tiger's wang is over-sheltering the kid, you've got a screw loose.

I'd just say that you and I have very different ideas on what makes a man.

I told them it's college kids having fun , don't repeat it . So difficult . How do you complaining Pansy's get through life? They are college kids being kids . Get a damn life
