La times is trash

[@user-lj9tk7ji1c]

I looked up the term Dirty Debutante and it refers to a porno series with young girls and old guys going at it. Just wow that the LA Times would let that get put in. Not only the writer but it had to pass through at least 2 or 3 editors. Heads should roll at the LA Times for this.

[@micclay]

They felt justified and as though the insult would go unchecked because the ladies are Southerners.

[@SgtJoeSmith]

so basically a documentary on lsu players

[@jlv3x]

​@@SgtJoeSmith seeing as none of these young ladies are involved in the porn industry your comment about a documentary would be 100% wrong.

[@Been.Here.Since.2007]

I knew that already. I'm not new to the internet like you are. I also know the southern meaning. You're annoying. 😂

[@gloriaanderson7424]

Old white men will never stop sexualizing beautiful black women and girls. The king for the time in America when they owned them for sexual pleasure. This is a major part of the hatred of black women. White women deep down realize this.

[@HughJass-jv2lt]

Women's College Basketball has actually been entertaining the past 12 months 😂😂

[@DanejaRachelle]

Duh

[@saw1898]

Versus watching paint dry, it sure is!

[@soloflyght1]

​@@saw1898versus radio dumbass comment it sure is

The only way to beat them is to continue #winning #LSU

Ouch

Did Imus write it?

[@dmez7020]

Lol, the LA times has no standards

[@livelaughlove2366]

And the same color song is sung year after year since the 1600s. This is why American society cannot move foward in regards to racial relations..

[@taurussho86]

Because people of power or influence are able to do more, consistent damage with words alone

[@ModouJ]

Well said ❤

[@elaineflanagan6185]

That’s not enough. He should be fired and anyone that approved it.

[@jrryder244]

Unfortunately it’s Non Blacks VS Blacks. Always has been, always will be. We’re used to it. Let’s go LSU!

[@sadeaton]

Going back to Baton Rouge.

[@joshuathomas5626]

Always will be for some ppl

[@chrispullinsproject]

The LA times is full of it with the appology, Articles go through 3 proof readers before print

[@moniquewrites9046]

Disgusting

[@TravisDaisy-jr3re]

Cartoon characters 🤣 go 🐯

[@DanejaRachelle]

LET'S GO LSU🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@micclay]

National press always feel it's fine to insult Southerners. They know that criticizing black people is generally off limits. They can not wrap their head around the fact that there is overlap of the 2 groups.

[@sweetsmcarthy8961]

Ed Powers is probably rounding up bunch of actors dress them all in college team uniforms for the remake this is unreal I had to take safe search off to Google it like Kim said

[@sunnysimmons]

kind play dry I think later few year

[@dsquared1956]

LA Times has standards ?

[@mariejane1567]

We're they liberals?

[@Theeosees]

Didn't LSU call everyone snowflakes for this kinda stuff? I mean really though, I guess it's good to hold certain publications to some standards or everything will turn into TMZ.

[@mariejane1567]

snowflakes isn't racist

[@damelalana]

His characterization of this black LSU team is hilarity. In summary LSU gets two snaps up!!!

[@Been.Here.Since.2007]

WAAAAYSISSSSSS

[@Tyson2136]

Mulkey should be ashamed for leading team that walks off court for National Anthem!!!

[@rluellam]

A big nothing burger. Anything for attention, I guess.

[@intothefrayyo]

Wait... who's looking for attention 🫤

[@Rockymarciono731]

[@yeeeyeeeeeeyee]

Lsu puts the image on themselves,what people see you as is a result of your own actions. Not anyone else

[@intothefrayyo]

Uhhhhhhhhhh .. not exactly ..

[@grod4243]

This guy is ridiculous! You can’t say anything anymore without offending people. LSU will call themselves “Dogs” in describing how they play but if someone else had said those words before LSU used them in describing themselves it would be all in the media as Offensive. We all know what “Dogs” mean in playing a sport and we all know what they are saying in this article. Everyone stop being so sensitive.

[@Rockymarciono731]

I know he’s a crybaby hypocrite glad they lost

[@mikefourbgmail]

Similar to the way people treated the 90s Duke basketball team. We never learn. 😊

[@6XXXL]

Can we have a masculine black man talk for us next time?? That's not how we talk... 💯
