Canceling Tiger-Burn

I haven't really heard about the decision to cancel the traditional tiger burn before the Clemson game this year. I didn't even know what the tradition was until this year because I grew up in a predominately Clemson family, with myself being the exception. I think whoever made the decision to cancel it this year has made a mistake. It's been a tradition for a very long time, and they probably want to cancel it because they think it doesn't make the school look good. This game is between schools that have been rivals for an extremely long time. Why did they choose to cancel it this year when it has been happening every year for a long time? I think someone doesn't want to give the school a bad reputation, although by canceling it many fans are disappointed before the Clemson-Carolina game. People might also think it is disrespectful because of the Ocean Isle tragedy. I think the people who died in that fire would want the tradition carried on. I knew some of those students, and they were always huge on school spirit in high school and in college. They would have wanted the tiger to burn before the Clemson game.
