LDS hate accounts for a sizeable chunk of BYU hate

A lot of non members or less active members that have bad feelings towards the church tend to project those same feelings toward BYU. It isn't always this way, and I also know of several examples where this isn't the case, but for the most part the LDS/BYU hate goes hand in hand.

Huge difference between 'feeling forced to root for' and a vicious hatred.

Unfortunately the "Ute Family Tradition" is growing rapidly in Salt Lake......

Funny how that trend parallels a surging anti-LDS and liberal progressive trend

the political facts are strongly related

10/8/15 10:56am

Honestly, outside SLC anyway, it has more to do with fewer and fewer locals

The progressive trend is a factor, but it doesn't explain the surge in LDS Utah

I know a guy who switched to being a Ute fan because BYU wouldn't hire him.
