A game-day banner hung over the entrance of an LSU fraternity house Saturday mocked the NFL's first openly gay player, Michael Sam, according to The Daily Reveille.

The message, penned in black ink on what appeared to be a white sheet at the Delta Kappa Epsilon house, was captured in photos by fans and posted on social media, LSU's student newspaper reported. A Daily Reveille staffer captured a photo of the sign; the banner read, "Michael isn't the Only Sam Getting the D Tonight."

LSU defeated Sam Houston State University 56-0 on Saturday in Baton Rouge in its first home game of the season.

The university asked the fraternity on Saturday to "remove the offensive banner," LSU Media Relations Director Ernie Ballard said in an email to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.

Oh the humaninty! How dare they mock a gay American hero who is barely employed. Don't they know there is a hierarchy of leftists causes that can not be mocked and homosexuality is right at the top? NEVER NEVER use humor against their favorite sons.

Bad taste although would of been better if LSU was playing Missouri.PC media and SJW going into the hypocritical Self-Righteous mode is funnier than the sign though.

Anyone see how pitful St. Louis and Dallas played yesterday and he can't get on the playing roster

He need Hitler Goodall to call every Team to get him a Job.

I don't care if he is gay or not but the experts if he were not to weak to play Football would be on the field.

Gay sex, along with aborting babies, is a left wing sacrament.

Thou shall lower thy head and speak respectfully when mentioning the word 'homosexual'.

Oh, you’re not to use the term “homosexual”,
because it is “offensive” and “clinical” - in other words, its meaning is clear and truthful.

Why is powerhouse LSU playing little ole Sam Houston State?

Houston area high school teams could beat Sam Houston.

Need home games to drive revenue to pay for all the title 9 sports. Sam Houston would not demand a home and home.

This is another odd phenomenon on the left: taking ‘offense’ on behalf of others who may not even know, care or object to the thought or deed. PC, thoughtcrime, etc.

What if Sam saw humor in it and even approved? Do the thought police still prosecute if the target is OK with it?

They weren’t mocking Michael Sam, they were mocking Sam Houston State University.

So what we have here is a full blown story about a frat house using sexual humor to mock an opposing school’s team.

A total, non-story.

And what is the point, that we aren’t supposed to mention that homosexual men have sex with other men?

A lot of the big-name schools have been playing small-name schools this year. And in most instances, the small-name schools lost and lost massively.

Arkansas hasn't won an SEC game in a year and lost 45-21 to Auburn last week. Saturday, they played Nicholls State and won 73 to 7.

It does give these small-name schools an opportunity, but the resulting blow-outs would seem to be embarrassing.

and Nebraska had a tough time beating McNeese State, which is an other Louisiana school that has Div. 1 teams.

This seems to be common for big time programs. The big program gets an easy warm up win. The weaker program, in return for a thrashing, gets ticket and television revenue they would never see otherwise plus the fans get to see a big name school play. It's actually not a bad deal for the weak football team unless they are so outmatched that they have lots of injuries.

Sam is not a person to the left, he is a tool to further the cause. He will be treated well while he is still useful and discarded or even vilified when he is not. If Sam ever tried to put a stop to the leftist bile spewed in his name they would turn on him in a heartbeat.

Yup, that's exactly the point.

They're "Gay". That means that they all live in Never-Never Land, where everyone is happy all the time, and there are flowers, and unicorns pooping rainbows, and cute fluffy kittens, and puppies, and ......

And you're a bigot, and a homophobe, for noting the facts.

It used to be called sodomy - now it's just Gay Love. So when you see/hear a news report that some woman or child was sodomized, insist that the reporting agency not use the hateful word but supplant it with gay loved, e.g., "Last night a woman was brutally beaten and gay loved in a parking lot."

Doesn't that sound more politically correct?
