Students who boo President Trump won't be punished, according to the university's Student Government Association.

Published 4:56 PM EST Nov 6, 2019

In a statement Wednesday afternoon, the university's Student Government Association said an earlier message that threatened to revoke seating at future games for"organizations that engage in disruptive behavior" had been taken out of context. Alabama students attending Saturday's game vs. LSU will not be punished for protesting President Trump, who plans to be at Bryant-Denny Stadium.Trump is expected to attend the game, which pits No. 2 LSU against top-ranked Alabama. It will be the third weekend in a row that Trump has attended a sporting event. He was booed during Game 5 of the World Series, and heard a mix of boos and cheers at a UFC fight last weekend in New York.

Well, what do you know. Alabama can actually learn when they’re treated like a twelve year old bully. Good for you, Alabama! You get extra orange slices at half-time.

Boo if u feel u should. Cheer if u feel u should. It’s up to u. It’s ur voice. Ur opinion. I don’t like him at all. But to each their own. I would boo. But that’s because I don’t feel he is a good man. Not my place to judge others though. Just myself.

Punish them!! Punish them all for Booing the President of the UNITED STATES OF THE AMERICA...how dare they! Had they all been in another country doing the same daym thing to a different President, you bet they would not be Free!Our Great Leader deserves better than that!

Let’s see if Democracy & the First Amendment dies for Season Tickets.

Why would anyone even think they could?

💪🏽👍🏽

Freedom of speech we are not Russian yet Moscow Mitch hasn’t given us away yet...he needs more time and to collect more money,

Free speech.

'Higher learning' ?!

This is soooooo disrespectful. You do NOT have to like the President, but you do have to respect the office. I don't like to pay taxes.....BUT I do !

Duh...of course not. Free speech and all that.

Freedom of expression

Nor should they!

Why would they be punished?

HORRIBLE DISTRACTION AND LOGISTICAL CHAOS This game is so important. I hate that the players, fans and administrators have to add this to the list of this epic game day preparation.

Of course not the libbies that run the school will get offended wouldn’t want that would we

sure boo him, wen you graduate and start looking for job, who you think will hire you when economy tanks(with trump out of office).

America is booing Trump! We are sick of his incompetence!

Why would they have to announce this? It would go against their the rights under the 1st amendment!

Democracy lives

As if it's even a question. Our country is founded upon and built upon the idea that you can boo and criticize leaders. Alabama is a redneck uneducated state and always will be. And it shows in situations like these.

I'm betting I hear the cheers in Bham

Yahoo News states the Alabama student association has informed students the Boo Trump may lose thier blocks of seats in the stadium.

Sounds like something China or North Korea would do.

stirring the pot. FakeNews

'They are not going to do this thing that nobody had asked them to do....' This is news?

What about students who boo him while chugging a beer bong?

IAmSophiaNelson Now they can exercise their 1st amendment rights and boo the hell out his ass

They shouldn't be punished!!!everyone is allowed to Express themselves!!!

They are entitled. To do anything. They are basically without good upbringing Same type of humanoid that sits at dining table with phone taking selfies and what they eat.

Uh, , Alabama is not top ranked, and LSU is ranked above them. So...

Who was considering it.

Breaking: Alabama allows its students freedom of speech, revoking douchebag status

Why does he keep going where he's not welcome. Like anywhere.

Boo away, students! Show that criminal predator he is not welcome in your state.

Hope they BOO like crazy! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

Good, that's denying a freedom. If he can't take it, then he should stay away.

But the ones who cheer will be expelled!

Gee Trump even bama knows ahead of time you will be booed

Why should they? First amendment rights.

FreeSpeech

Alabama, being a state institution, is bound by the Fourteenth Amendment not to violate students' First Amendment free speech right regarding political expression. I feel sure the university's attorneys will try to prevent this for the sake of the university.

Was that a question? WTF!

Fake news! They asked the students to behave themselves! Didn’t say anything about Trump!!

Kymon5 SAD STATE OF AMERICA WHEN YOU CANNOT BOO. UNAMERICAN LIKE A DOG. BIGLY

Well they better fucking not get in trouble wtf

I wouldn't expect any boos, despite what the media wants. Why would they boo? Maybe the economy or jobs report and their future job possibilites.

Won't be many boos. UA and LSU people aren't assholes like National fans...

Too much credit given to college students. What have they accomplished, what have they seen, how much of the world have they interacted with. Just a bunch of clowns drinking beer while spending $ thousands to get degrees in 'Communications, and Women Stiludies'.

Why would they. This is more media none sense. Blah blah.

What is wrong with the University Government Association thinking that they control what people think?

Why the hell would they? I hope his ass gets boo’d

I think it would be pretty cool if they said they would punish students that boo and then we could just sit back and watch how well that works out.

Ok Zoomers. Spit out the Tide Pods before booing...

Communist protesters should be removed

Hope not , 1st amendment right ?!?!?!?!?

realDonaldTrump UniversityofAlabama Why in the world is this even a thing? Freedom of speech is not a right of students in Alabama? BOO!!

hiss hiss boo boo

Of course they won't. It's the Left that punishes people for expressing disagreement.

Well it’s a publicly funded university so they really can’t punish them.

What a novel concept. Jeez

The fact that this is a thing is telling about the popularity of 45

It would be even better if they just were all quiet..I mean 🦗's ... like as if they didnt acknowledge his existence!! 🤐

IAmSophiaNelson The biggest question is why are institutions & the media normalizing this authoritarian behavior? Why are people in the media normalizing his loyalty pledge & any person that disagrees is a never trumper? What happened to free speech; the Rule of Law or our Constitutional Norms?

I hope the BOOS can be heard from Tuscaloosa all the way to Birmingham !!

Won’t be many boos. I will put $$ on it

Remember when we said a few hours ago we were going to stomp all over your 1st amendment right to protect the POTUS’ feelings? Well...J/K. J/K. Ha ha! We were just kidding. Believe us when we say we won’t do that! *wink* *wink* 🙄

Maybe when they hold back government funds might be a different story 🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️🤷🏿‍♀️

Because they don’t want to be sued?

It doesn’t matter anyway, it’s Alabama, they’ll be too busy kissing their sisters.

Only cheers in Alabama!!! We respect a duly elected President!!

IAmSophiaNelson Afraid ya'll will lose those 5 star recruits huh?

Why would punishing them even be an option?

Verdict: 15 minutes without Snickers

I don't think they should be punished. Booing your leader, which will get you imprisoned, tortured and even killed in some countries, is a protected right in the U.S.A. Just remember to apply the same standard when a darling left-wing Democrat President gets booed. You won't.

Why will they get punished at the first place? They did what nee to been done

It is America! Speech!

Why would that even be a thought?

Wait is this a serious discussion? It’s called Freedom of Speech. Y is it everyone but the 45 is expected to act respectfully....

Is this his new thing? Going to games? It’s weird like everything else he does

Thank God we're still in America...wait we are still in America right...

Why is that even a topic of conversation

Just 're-educated' 😈

dbzell

Why is this even a topic? Of course they have a right to their views. Stupid News.

How nice of them not to punish students for exercising their right to FREE SPEECH

Jesus I would hope not

Didn’t take long to back up on this.

It's called freedom of expression, why would they even be punished for Booing an Orangutan. This is not some African Countries being run like Banana Republic 🤷‍♂️

I thought libbies didn't like hate speech. I guess their hate is OK though.

*A burn for all seasons* The president presidenting. realDonaldTrump
