Colorado State University (CSU) has apologized for chants of “Russia” form its student section near the end of a basketball game Saturday night while an opposing player from Ukraine was shooting a free throw.

I actually laughed when I read it. I remember in high school chants for the throw by an opposing team.

These kids were being creative.

It’s not as if they chanted “Osama” at the US Soccer team.

I’m glad to hear some students have a sense of humor. I bet they were laughing as the got under the Ukrainian’s skin.

When I was in HS, after a party, a girl came home and spent the night with me.

When we got home she told me she almost been raped by a football player, his friends cheering.
They didn’t finish it. She got away or something.

Monday morning at school that football player had restructuring of all of his teeth evident. Metal everywhere.

Her best friend was dating a senior...something.

That was high school in the 70s. Catholic, too.

The whole matter was settled quickly. The football player was reminded, no matter how big and tough you think you are, there is always somebody else who is capable of messing you up.

I bet the Ukrainian didn’t care near as much as the snowflakes at CO did.

At least they didn’t start shooting at each other like some inner city rivalries.

These people would absolutely lose their minds if they ever heard the chants at a typical English soccer match.

Verbal harassment of players shooting free throws is as old as the game.
Nothing is accomplished by groveling and whining that you are wonderful.

Did Congress make a formal declaration of war against Russia or something while I was asleep?
