stereotyping. Describing an entire group (or majority of one) by inferring the anecdotal actions of one person or one family is exactly that.

Imagine being a Ute in Utah and thinking you are outside the bubble

darkcoug

8/22/19 10:20am

I don't live in Utah. Portland, Oregon.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:53am

What a surprise! how are your ANTIFA buddies doing?

LDTemplar

8/22/19 1:13pm

Fighting the good fight I suppose. Suburbs don't see any of that action.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 1:43pm

Yeah, if you think antifa is fighting the good fight

Jacksonian76

8/22/19 3:47pm

Amen!!

LDTemplar

8/22/19 4:00pm

I don't know much about them, but not a big fan of facisim.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 4:44pm

Me too, that's why I don't like antifa - a rose (or turd) by any other name...

Jacksonian76

8/22/19 5:39pm

I honestly don't know enough about the situation.

It was a comment made with a shrug. I'm not very familiar with the situation.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 9:57pm

Go Blazers! At least I hope we can agree on one team

RipCityCougar

8/22/19 1:21pm

Nope, go Jazz 🙂 I'm sure I'll adopt them as a second team in time.

LiquidUte

Got a buddy that manages a bar downtown...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 1:47pm

Which bar? I'll check it out if I can ever escape the grind of parenthood.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 1:50pm

I'll get you a name...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 1:55pm

You should make this same post on a Ute fan site, that might care.

Richbyu

8/22/19 10:21am

So it is ok for Utes to stereotype a small sample - but not for Cougars. Gotcha.

crack

8/22/19 10:22am

I was thinking the same thing. What an unintentionally ironic post.

jdub

8/22/19 10:24am

Unintentional irony describes this guy’s whole presence here

shammy

You make an excellent point.

How judgmental of you.

BYU grads are better at life according to statistics.

Lieutenant America

Imagine thinking that making more money makes you better at life

BigT801

Say's the dude making $9,000 less....

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 10:53am

Joke’s on you I just finished grad school so I’m way more broke than that!!

BigT801

8/22/19 5:44pm

Well if you work twice as hard as those BYU grads...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 6:09pm

What criteria would you use that would make someone better at life?

Be careful on this point. We may look better than the U on income but..

Cougstreak

8/22/19 11:05am

Are their fans on here talking a bunch of crap?

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 11:06am

If you're referring to me, it's not talking crap,

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:11am

Thank you for policing our fanbase. I suggest policing the west concourse

Natedog916

8/22/19 11:14am

I'm talking about most of the ute fans on CB...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 11:15am

Hypocrite!

LDTemplar

What are you talking about?

Cougstreak

You're a ute...

CoachSpeak

Get a hobby man. This is sad.

Cougstreak

Ummmm.....you realize you're the one that started following me around don't you?

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 11:55am

I haven’t posted once to you. I disagreed with a point and have yet get rid...

Cougstreak

8/22/19 12:00pm

The thread you referenced....

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 12:08pm

I have yet to follow u. You just acknowledged I posted once about your comment.

Cougstreak

8/22/19 12:14pm

Ummm...you keep replying as well...

CoachSpeak

This is the best thing said in this thread.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 12:09pm

I love how ute fans come to CB, talk crap, then whine and appeal to "rationality

CoachSpeak

Lots of BYU grads at home raising little cougar fans.

“Swear.” “Watch Game of thrones?”

lilpenny

Read the linked threads.

LiquidUte

I’m a BYU fan that “drinks, swears and watches GOT” and I think Yewts are losers

Dude, liquid, dont get triggered by this. Why not just run some real sports

Preppy

8/22/19 10:35am

I disagree. I'm not saying we should all hold hands and sing "Love at Home"

cob

8/22/19 10:42am

I'm just trying to stand up for my people.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 10:55am

You wouldn’t have to if you just left.

Natedog916

8/22/19 10:56am

Which people? All yewt fans?

Preppy

8/22/19 10:59am

The 95% of them that don't fit this stereotype that was linked.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:05am

So the other 51 weeks of the year when you are among your own fans you don't get triggered?

kccougar

8/22/19 11:07am

Yes.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:09am

Then you, Sir, are a hypocrite.

kccougar

8/22/19 11:11am

I don't get it. Explain.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:12am

What he's saying is that today you find BYU fans' bahavior unacceptable, yet...

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:21am

If you go 51 weeks of the year without ever being triggered by mocking of BYU fans

kccougar

8/22/19 11:38am

Dude, "love thy neighbor" does not mean "love ALL thy neighbor's behavior."

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:17am

Not sure what measurements you're using, but the yewt fanbase is not 95%

Preppy

8/22/19 12:20pm

The actions of some people don't justify standing up for them.

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:16am

Standing up for the large majority of them that are good citizens and are

8/22/19 11:19am

Tell you what? You clean up your fan base first, then you can come &...

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:28am

Preach! Ya, we all know that sports fan behavior doesnt exempt us from Christ

Preppy

8/22/19 11:55am

There's plenty of people on here calling those people out

cob

8/22/19 10:36am

I appreciate the broader perspective here.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 10:59am

I know I appreciate it that he is here policing BYU fans rather than posting something similar on Utah boards.

kccougar

8/22/19 11:03am

The Utah board I read doesn't have stuff like this about BYU fans. Utezone.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:09am

Maybe you should start a Ute board for Ute “fans”

Natedog916

8/22/19 11:10am

I call BS on that one. I'm willing to bet that "every" legitimate Utah site...

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:13am

"Talking Smack" and essentially calling another group filth are different levels

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:21am

Ok, let me get more specific: by "talking smack" I meant "being rude and....

BleedCougarBlue2

Natedog916

8/22/19 11:25am

Well I've never been on a ute board, and never will go one one...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 11:14am

So I just went to Utezone! Now I see why you are here hanging out. Welcome!

BYU I Bleed Blue

8/22/19 11:17am

Utezone is fantastic. It's a lot of analysis; won't appeal to the fan-hate crowd

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:22am

It UteZone is so "fantastic" then why are you here?

BleedCougarBlue2

8/22/19 11:25am

I like getting the perspective of the other side before a game.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 11:50am

Yea you're a regular Mother Theresa...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 11:56am

I'm an idealist, granted.

LiquidUte

8/22/19 12:12pm

Apparently you have ideals for how your rivals should behave toward you...

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 12:27pm

^^^^^ This.

BleedCougarBlue2

You can read and not comment. Nobody really cares to know your point of view.

Wasn’t it a Utezone guy that started a rumor that ZW was with Pau’u?

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 3:07pm

Yes but apparently staring rumors to ruin guys careers is just “strategy”.

CoachSpeak

8/22/19 3:27pm

Nope it was the rivals board. Utezone is the 24/7 Sports community

BigT801

8/22/19 5:49pm

Ok that’s right

puntersarepeople

8/22/19 8:23pm

I’d absolutely say that in elder’s quorum. Especially with Utes.

All-American

8/22/19 11:18am

Here's the thing. Most BYU fans don't care if you drink alcohol, swear, etc.

HONOMO

8/22/19 12:24pm

I try not to stereotype because I get stereotyped all the time BUT

BlueSioux

8/22/19 12:28pm

Just don’t turn around and stereotype all BYU fans or members

1CougFan

8/22/19 1:07pm

I don't, that's why I said, "a portion."

LiquidUte

8/22/19 1:09pm

One basic error in your assertion.

OldFogey

8/22/19 1:46pm

I don't think that's entirely true.
