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.

Yesterday when FOX cut over to update on the SF v DAL game, the first thing they showed when they cut over was Sam standing on the sideline. BARF!
