Bigoted and other profane chants have been going on as long as there have been sports competitions.
Ignore them and move on. Geez!
BYU should copy Duke and the SC women’s basketball team and refuse to have any Oregon team play at BYU. Those students should be treated as harshly as the innocent accused was at BYU before the truth came out. He was banned for life.
My desired outcome would be an asteroid strike.
Are you a Mormon? Nothing unusual about college kids making snide comments about the other side
The LDS are the homemade Muslims as far as I am concerned. Imbecile theology, carney barker mentality, shyster society. Not that I care much for any organized so called faith. just the LDS seem the most repulsive of the lot.
No, I’m pretty sure they were chanting “Let’s go Brigham”
We had a couple of hot-shot basketball playing brothers at Marshfield. One of them went semi-pro in Australia. Not in Ainge’s class, though. .
Mormonism isn’t a religion. It’s a cult
The issue here is hypocrisy.
A couple of weeks ago, a Black athlete from Duke University, playing at BYU, accused the students there of shouting racial slurs at her from the stands. The mainstream media immediately jumped on the "racist" bandwagon, condemning BYU and making the "victim" an immediate heroine.
BYU did a thorough investigation and found no evidence of at all of the incident. In other words, the whole thing was racial hoax, à la Jussie Smollett.
The point is that the Left gets away with hyping false accusations alleged by a single "victim" of a minority class, but when a crowd hurls derogatory statements about a religious group, that's totally okay. Talk about double standards.
The governor of Utah is within his bounds in issuing a statement. If not for the big media stir caused by the unfounded accusations of racism at BYU, I doubt he would have said anything.
Now, can we all please get back to enjoying sports and not turn everything into a big bawl session.
Technically all religions are a cult. By the definition of the word.
I believe it was last year at . . maybe Colorado? . that a black athlete complained about slurs. it turned out the team mascot was named Digger and someone in the audience was shouting his name to get a photo of him. Big hullabaloo for nothing.
No...but I take it you're probably mormon.
or “Let’s Go Mormons”
Oregon fans are as obnoxious as you can get. Pathetic.
But I thought Oregonians were all tolerant and inclusive, holding hands and singing “kumbaya” and stuff.
I’m not Mormon, but I am an English major, so I do believe in capitalizing proper nouns.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox needs to grow up. Mormons can handle all sorts of teasing. The Book of Mormon on Broadway, NY, get good reviews form Mormons. The one book that Mormons hate and remove from libraries is Brodie’s No Man Knows my History which proves that Joseph Smith was a criminal, Brigham Young wanted to be King of Utah, and ex-Mormons who tried to run away from Utah were regularly shot. In other news, Catholics do very well in Salt Lake City.
Grammar police - gotcha.
Sorry, but I don't capitalize cults...
What would you expect from a bunch of filthy worthless liberals?
Students. Probably a lot from out of State.
