The Student Government Association at the University of Alabama is warning groups that protesting President Trump during the Tide's Saturday game vs. LSU could result in loss of reserved seating for the remainder of the season.

A letter from Jason Rothfarb, vice president of Student Affairs, said additional security will be in Bryant Denny's student section during the Saturday afternoon football game. President Trump is expected to be in the audience.

Disruptive protests against the president will have consequences, Rothfarb wrote.

"Any organizations that engage in disruptive behavior during the game will be removed from block seating instantly for the remainder of the season," he wrote.

Oddly enough, the person who sent out this message now has his twitter account private. I wonder why...

I hope the entire stadium erupts into boos upon reading this, and not only that, but audibly loud "fuck Trump" chants. Oh that would be so glorious.

Brave statement from a public institution, but I guess since it's Alabama it's not too shocking.

Oh well, even more reason to cheer for LSU.

That's pretty tyrannical of an elected body suppressing the freedom of speech, even if it's just a student government.

Booing at a fucking football came can get your seats removed, and for the remainder of the season?

So much for promoting freedom of speech

After studying Student Affairs over the past year and university policies being a big topic in my legal affairs course there could be policies in place at the university where forms of protest are designated to certain areas on campus and must be notified to administrators.

ALTHOUGH I don't know what they are going to do if the entire stadium starts to erupt in boos!

As a Gators fan, go LSU.

Folks should protest then give their local ACLU chapter a nice call.

Is this fool really going to different sporting events until he doesn't get booed at one? Trump really does swing at every pitch...

What's amusing about the threat of losing block seating for the remainder of the season is how empty it actual is. Alabama's only remaining home game for the season is against Western Carolina.

Why would Trump need to worry about being booed at a sports game? He's only been universally cheered wherever he goes. Any and all boos are doctored by the LAMEstream media and probably the Clintons/AOC.

Hahahaha y'all realize most of Baton Rouge and LSU is probably totally on board with this no protesting the president bullshit from the SGA, right?

Louisiana is just about as red a state as it gets...

Honestly if you think about it, if there's one sporting event Trump isn't going to be booed, it's going to be one held in the state of Alabama

LSU won't care as long as it makes Alabama look bad, especially when it comes to sports. As long as they shut up about it, people will be against the Tide here.

This kind of self-censorship by organizations has echoes of China, and Nazism in early 20th century.
This trend is super scary.
