Be it race, gender, orientation, income. Your post fits perfectly in our modern conversation.

Take an innocuous and natural response to an event and turn it into some nefarious political or personal response. You’re priming the pump to try and get people to see natural events as connected to things they aren’t.

Now that you’ve stated this as fact, if BYU loses and people dismiss the team from national discussions you’ll feel justified in your logical error because it will happen as you predicted.

People do this all the time so it’s nothing new. It’s just best that we all recognize what it is. It’s semi conspiracy theory.

If BYU loses, they will deserve to be dropped from the conversation. Irrespective of Covid.
