You CAN boo Trump at Alabama-LSU game, students are told as college ditches threat that they would lose their seats for 'disruptive behavior' when president watches the Crimson Tide take on the Tigers

The University of Alabama clarified a letter that went out to groups of ticket-holders warning that tickets would be taken away over 'disruptive behavior'

The letter came days before President Trump's appearance Saturday at the big game between Alabama's Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers

The president is heading to Alabama for the game as he tries to elect a Republican governor in Louisiana


But Jason Rothfarb, vice president for Student Affairs for University of Alabama SGA, issued a follow-up saying that wasn't true.

'By disruptive behavior, we are asking students to be respectful to all students and staff and avoid altercations,' Rothfarb said. 'My email has nothing [to] do with anyone's First Amendment rights and I am sorry for any confusion.'


'Please express yourself and especially your pride for the Tide,' Rothfarb added.

Trump's trip to Alabama will be a delicate political dance as he's currently trying to get a Republican governor elected in Louisiana, after his coattails failed to provide a victory Tuesday night in Kentucky. ........................
