Why would he need to use them against UNLV? Save them to break the Utah streak.

This is actually fairly offensive and makes a mockery of our religion and disparages the work of the prophets

It's also just a joke. Nothing to be taken too seriously.

It missed its mark. Yes you need to be able to laugh at yourself, but you also can take that too far.

Are you surprised that a moderate who disagrees w/ Ben Shapiro could be a good member of The Church?

The term "anti-Mormon" gets thrown around WAY too loosely

Past articles targeting sacred underwear seem to be pretty close to that.
